Abstract
This article describes clinical approaches for the perioperative management of the pregnant oral and maxillofacial surgical patient. The following topics are discussed: ethical principles of treatment during pregnancy, physiologic changes and their treatment considerations, fetal and maternal risks of various medications, medical problems occurring during pregnancy, and common minimally invasive approaches that the surgeon can apply to minimize the risk to the mother and unborn child. The strategies discussed provide successful treatment outcomes during this important time in the female surgical patient's life.
