Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions (OML) and oral self-examination and their associated factors among pregnant women from the 2015Pelotas Birth Cohort Study, Brazil. Methods: Pregnant women who would deliver babies in 2015 were included in theantenatal study. Data related to demographic, socio-economic and behavioural condi-tions were collected using questionnaires. Participants were also clinically assessedfor oral health outcomes. The outcomes were the presence of OMLs and oral self-examination. Size, location, time of onset and symptomatology of the lesions werecollected. Descriptive and bivariate analysis, and Poisson regression were performed.p-Value <0.05 was set to indicate statistical significance. Results: Data from 2481 pregnant women were analysed. Four hundred and nine (16.5%) had at least one OML. The most prevalent lesions were exostosis (80/16.6%),coated tongue (70/14.5%) and benign oral brownish pigmentation (68/14.1%). Non-white skin colour was associated with a higher prevalence of OMLs (PR 1.3; 95% CI1.1–1.6), while daily use of dental floss was positively associated with the prevalenceof oral self-examination (PR 1.4; 95% CI 1.2; 1.5). Conclusions: Almost 20% of pregnant women presented OML, which were moreprevalent in non-white individuals. Women with better oral care were more likely toperform oral self-examination.
