In recent years research has been conducted with the objective of investigating and assessing periodontal disease during pregnancy, carefully because the gingival changes may become more prevalent. There is ample evidence in the scientific literature that Periodontal Disease (PD) in pregnancy may be a predisposing factor for the development or exacerbation of health problems, among them the occurrence of premature births and babies of low birth weight. The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence and the of periodontal disease and associate the risk factors in the Family Health Units in São Sebastiao do Paraíso - MG. Were participants 90 pregnant enrolled in three Family Health units, aged 16 to 40 years. Initially, an interview was conducted with pregnant and later a clinical examination was done by evaluating the periodontal condition, using two indicators. The Periodontal Index (CPI) and Periodontal Attachment Lost (PAL). Analyzing the CPI, according to highest degree of periodontal condition 100% of the pregnant had some periodontal problem, such as, 31% presented, corresponding to the average number of 1.87 sextants, 40% had periodontal pockets 4 to 5 mm depth, average of 2.40 sextants, 29% with periodontal pocket of 6 mm or more, an average of 1.73 sextants. Regarding Periodontal Attachment Loss, 71% of pregnant showed an insertion lost of 0 to 3 mm, corresponding to the average number of 4.28 sextants; 14.50% with an insertion lost of 6 to 8 mm, mean 0, 86 sextants; 14.50% with loss of attachment from 9 to 11 mm, average 0.86 sextants. So the severity and prevalence were significant, was high, since according to the CPI, 69% of pregnant had 2 on each bag with 6 sextants greater than 4 mm and 71% of the PAL patients had 4 in 6 sextants with insertion loss of up to 3 mm. According to a questionnaire there was an ignorance of pregnant women about the importance of dental care during pregnancy and needed guidance on oral health care. No significant associations were found between oral hygiene habits, prior knowledge and access to dental care with periodontal disease, in accordance with the Chi-square test. It is concluded that there is a need for greater playacting and interdisciplinary integration among the surgeon-dentist and medical obstetricians aiming at an oral health care, with the goal of promoting actions educational-preventive nature.
