Between behavioral intention and awareness (r = 0/403), and attitude (r = 0 / 369), subjective norms(r = 0/415), and perceived behavioral control, (r = 0/488) and the behavior of the (r= 0/399 ) found a positive correlation.Conclusion: This theory of planned behavior in the prediction of performance measures of oral health care to pregnant women showed.
