Resumo
Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da doença gengival na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal de gestantes. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e Cochrane, com buscas conduzidas entre abril e dezembro de 2025. Foram utilizados os descritores MeSH combinados conforme as especificidades de cada base. Foram incluídos estudos que avaliaram a qualidade de vida, a condição gengival e envolveram amostras de gestantes. Resultados: A amostra final foi composta por 10 estudos. Estes artigos incluídos apresentaram diferentes delineamentos metodológicos e utilizaram instrumentos variados para avaliação da qualidade de vida, com predomínio do OHIP-14. Foi observada associação entre doença periodontal e pior qualidade de vida, especialmente nos domínios físico, psicológico e funcional. Cárie e perda dentária também demonstraram impacto negativo sobre a qualidade de vida das gestantes. Evidências indicaram que intervenções odontológicas durante a gestação contribuem para a melhora das condições bucais e qualidade de vida. Considerações finais: A doença gengival e outros agravos bucais impactam negativamente a qualidade de vida das gestantes.
