Periodontal disease during pregnancy can lead to adverse outcomes such as preterm delivery, low birth weight and preeclampsia. In this context, the dental monitoring of pregnant women with periodontal disease is very important. Our study aimed to evaluate periodontal health in a group of 33 high-risk pregnant women (cardiac, hypertensive, diabetic, among others) who attend the Clinic of Pregnant Women at the Hospital das Clínicas de Uberlândia - HCU-UFU, Brazil. Examinations of plaque index, depth of probing, mobility, bleeding on probing, and the gingival margin level was measured to evaluate the degree of loss of periodontal insertion and the severity of periodontal disease. Oral hygiene instruction procedures were performed and prophylaxis in pregnant women, and supra and subgingival scaling when necessary. At the end, the patients' medical records were evaluated to see if any adverse outcome occurred during pregnancy or delivery. The results showed that although there were considerable values ​​of periodontal changes in pregnant women, our results were not able to relate periodontal disease to any of the adverse events such as premature delivery, lower birth weight or preeclampsia.
