Abstract
Dramatic physiological changes of women body due to pregnancy may elicit temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). Furthermore, decrease immunity and stresses of pregnancy contribute to provoke TMD. To limit and prevent TMD, small lifestyle changes can be employed during pregnancy to insure warding off joint affection. Similarly, treatment options are available and one of the basic and apparent options is the use of bite plates. Because of the prevalence and importance of TMD in pregnant women, this literature review suggests adding education on TMD and its prevention to any antenatal program. There is a real demand for more studies on incidence of TMD during pregnancy and prognosis after that.
