Kehamilan dan kesehatan gigi-mulut merupakan aspek yang berkaitan satu sama lain. Ibu hamil perlu secara rutin memeriksakan kesehatan gigi dan mulutnya ke dokter gigi setiap trimester. Angka utilisasi pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang ditandai dengan data kunjungan ibu hamil ke dokter gigi di Indonesia masih sangat rendah. Faktor-faktor antecendent dalam teori perubahan perilaku ABC (antecendent behavior consequences) sangat penting dalam mempengaruhi terbentuknya sebuah perilaku termasuk perilaku kunjungan ibu hamil untuk pemeriksaan ke dokter gigi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengindetifikasi faktor-faktor antecendent yang menyebabkan rendahnya perilaku kunjungan ibu hamil ke dokter gigi. Penelitian pendahuluan dilakukan di wilayah kerja puskesmas Serpong Tangerang Selatan secara cross sectional pada 27 ibu hamil, wawancara dengan kuisioner dan pemeriksaan klinis menghitung skor DMFT dan MGI (modified gingival index) kemudian dianalisis deskriptif dan statistik dengan uji chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 96% (26 responden) tidak pernah memeriksakan ke dokter gigi saat hamil. Faktor antecendent rendahnya kunjungan bumil ke dokter gigi: belum mengetahui manfaat ke dokter gigi saat hamil (33%; 9 responden), takut ke dokter gigi (26%; 7 responden), merasa mahal (19%; 5 responden), merasa tidak butuh (11%; 3 responden), takut membahayakan janin (11%; 3 responden). Rata-rata indeks DMFT sebesar 2.78 dan skor rata-rata MGI sebesar 1.00. Tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna skor DMFT dan MGI dari masing-masing faktor antecendent (p>0.05). Kesimpulannya dua faktor yang mempengaruhi utilisasi pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut selama kehamilan adalah 1) pengetahuan dan 2) perceived need.Antecendent Affecting Utilization of Dental Services in Pregnant Women (Pilot Study at Serpong District, South Tangerang).
