Objective This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the systemic profile and periodontal status of women with a high-risk pregnancy. Methods Eighty-nine pregnant women at risk of preterm labor admitted to a hospital in southern Brazil were interviewed and received a periodontal examination. Data related to obstetric complications during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia, infections, medication use, and gestational diabetes) and systemic diseases were collected from medical records.
