When looking at the literature, it is seen that physiological and hormonal changes that occur in pregnant women affect the musculoskeletal system and pain threshold of women. These changes seen in pregnant women and their psychological levels throughout the process also contribute negatively to the process.Due to the insufficiency of studies examining temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems and oral habits in pregnant women and the contradictory results in existing studies, it is seen that new studies are needed.
