Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the associated factors with positive self-perception of oral health in pregnant and postpartum women treated at a reference maternity hospital in the north of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: cross-sectional study with women assisted in an extension project. The sample consisted of women evaluated in the period from 2012 to 2022 who passedthe inclusion and exclusion criteria. The outcome variable was self-perception of oral health, which was dichotomized after the participants’ response options. The analyses were performed using the SPSS 20.0 software. Results: a total of 711 women participated. The positive self-perception of oral health was present in 50.2% of the sample. The associated factors were women without a partner (PR=1.07; CI95%=1.00-1.14; p=0.042), who went to the dentist during pregnancy (PR=1,12; CI95%=1.05-1.19; p<0.001), who brushed their teeth three times or more a day (PR=1.08; CI95%=1.01-1.15; p=0.028), with no dental caries (PR=1.10; CI95%=1.03-1.18; p=0.005) and who did not notice oral changes during the gestational period (RP=1.16; CI95%=1.09-1.24; p<0.001). Conclusions: positive self-perception of oral health was associated with better oral hygiene habits and visits to the dentist during the gestational period.

Resumo Objetivos: avaliar os fatores associados à autopercepção positiva de saúde bucal em gestantes e puérperas atendidas em uma maternidade referência no norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Métodos: estudo transversal realizado com mulheres atendidas em um projeto de extensão. A amostra foi composta de mulheres avaliadas no período de 2012 a 2022 que passaram por critérios de inclusão e exclusão. A variável desfecho foi a autopercepção em saúde bucal, que foi dicotomizada após as opções de respostas das participantes. As análises foram realizadas pelo programa SPSS 20.0. Resultados: participaram 711 mulheres, sendo que a autopercepção positiva de saúde bucal foi presente em 50,2%. Os fatores associados foram mulheres sem companheiro (RP=1,07; IC95%=1,00-1,14; p=0,042), que foram ao dentista durante a gestação (RP=1,12; IC95%=1,05-1,19; p<0,001), que escovavam os dentes três vezes ou mais ao dia (RP=1,08; IC95%=1,01-1,15; p=0,028), com ausência de cárie dentária (RP=1,10; IC95%=1,03-1,18; p=0,005) e que não perceberam alterações bucais durante o período gestacional (RP=1,16; IC95%=1,09-1,24; p<0,001). Conclusões: autopercepção positiva de saúde bucal foi associada com melhores hábitos de higiene bucal e consultas com o dentista durante o período gestacional.
