Description: Maternal oral health has been strongly linked to the health of the mother and baby. Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to a healthy pregnancy term (George et al., 2010). It is therefore appropriate to explore the social cognitive constructs that are associated with pregnant women’s oral hygiene behaviours. The current study aims to: (a) Identify the social cognitive constructs that predict oral hygiene behaviours in pregnant women; (b) Identify the unique effects of each social cognitive construct on mechanical oral hygiene behaviours in pregnant women using meta-analytic path analysis; (c) Identify the mediators (e.g. planning) and moderators (e.g. age, gender, type of behaviour, study design) of the effects of the social cognitive constructs on oral hygiene behaviours in pregnant women.
