Abstract

Objective: to analyse dental care in patients diagnosed with ASD. Method: A descriptive analysis was carried out, supported by the systemic review technique, the documentary sample comprising 15 scientific articles selected by way of a systematic review was extracted from reputable sources such as PubMed and Scopus. Results and conclusion: The dentist should treat an autistic child with the same respect and expertise with which he/she treats non-autistic children. However, autism should be seen as a complex syndrome in which the dentist's professional skills require him or her to apply new strategies to treat the problematic child, often with the child's parents present. It is necessary for the dentist to pay attention to any gestures or discomfort the patient may present during the dental procedure.
