<![CDATA[Gestation provokes a series of physiological modifications that elevate the susceptibility to oral pathologies, which, if neglected, may culminate in detrimental maternal repercussions such as preterm delivery and reduced birth weight.Despite these risks, awareness among pregnant women in primary healthcare settings remains low. This study aims to analyze the impact of infographic video-based education on the knowledge of oral health maintenance among pregnant women. This study utilized a quasi-experimental framework incorporating a one-group pretest-posttest methodology. A sample comprising 40 pregnant women from the Cibeunying Health Center was obtained through a total sampling strategy. Data acquisition was facilitated through the use of validated knowledge questionnaires, and subsequent analysis was conducted employing the Shapiro-Wilk normality test alongside the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in respondents' knowledge. Prior to the intervention, only 5% of participants achieved a "good" knowledge category; this figure rose sharply to 90% post-intervention. The mean knowledge score increased significantly from 58.75 ± 11.80 to 90.58 ± 10.00 (p < 0.001). In conclusion, infographic video-based counseling significantly enhances the knowledge of pregnant women regarding oral health. This medium is recommended as an innovative, practical, and effective educational tool for maternal oral health promotion in primary healthcare facilities.]]>
