During pregnancy women suffer a lot physiological changes, some of them occurs at salival aspect, like they are: pH, flow and salivary viscosity, that are going to be a determinant factor in the develop of dental caries. Objetive: To determine the relation ship between the changes of pH, flow and salivary viscosity against the develop of dental caries in first three month period pregnancy women. Material and Methods: lt was evaluated samples of saliva without stimulation from 30 first three-month period pregnants, and 30 no-pregnants that attended to the dental assistance of HONADOMANI San Bartolome, with ages between 20 to 35 years old, who were evaluated for pH through a analizer, flow using a milimeter beaker, for salivary viscosity whit the Ostwald viscosimeter, and dental caries by the DMFT index. Results: For the pregnant group it was presented: pH = 6.44, Flow = 5.37 ml. Viscosity = 1.46, DMFT = 12.27. and for the group no-pregnant :pH = 7.20, Flow = 4.07ml- viscosity = 1.48 and DMFT = 10.17. Conclusions: There was statistically significant difference in pH, being the pregnants scores lower than no-pregnants. Furthermore, there was a indirect correlation between salivary pH and DMFT. A significant difference exist between the salivary flow because pregnant women showed a higher salivary flow than the no - pregnant group, finding no correlation between salivary flow and DMFT. A significant difference exist in the DMFT, so the pregnant women showed a higher DMFT than the no-pregnant group.
