These factors were studied in 50 children, aged 3.6 to 5.9 years. Children of mothers who had no dental treatment during pregnancy (NTP-group, n = 25) had significantly (p less than 0.02) more serum IgG antibodies reactive with Strep. mutans than those of mothers who received such treatment (TP-group, n = 25). The children in the NTP-group had fewer Strep. mutans, a higher proportion of intact dentitions, lower dmfs/DS-index and lower caries incidence than those in the TP-group. Over one year of follow-up, a significantly greater proportion of children in the TP- than in the NTP-group developed new caries (p less than 0.05). Thus, maternal dental treatment during pregnancy may affect caries development in the primary dentition of the child, possibly via transplacental immune mechanisms.
