“…In addition, epidemiological studies and the creation of systematizations (or guidelines) of health care for patients with autism are also fundamental for the multiplication of information and experiences obtained, aiming at quality in care, optimization of time and safety, not only of the multiprofessional team involved, but also of the patient and his relatives. [11][12][13]16 The oral health care of individuals in the autism spectrum requires specialized knowledge on the part of professionals in order to seek the best and most effective strategies adapted to the health promotion of this population. The complex features associated with autism spectrum disorders can make it difficult to access the appropriate dental service.…”

Objetivo: realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o transtorno do espectro do autismo, discutir as necessidades orais desses sujeitos e propor diretrizes para os profissionais da odontologia para possibilitar a oferta de atendimento odontológico a pessoas com autismo em suas práticas clínicas. Material e Métodos: pesquisamos as bases de dados da Web of Science, PubMed e Cochrane Library, onde foram selecionados artigos de revisões sistemáticas, metanálises e ensaios clínicos entre os períodos de 2008 a 2018. Resultados: selecionaram 28 artigos que definem e discutem a condição do transtorno do espectro do autismo e sua relação com a saúde bucal. Os estudos também apontam as dificuldades de pais e profissionais de odontologia em relação à higiene bucal e ao recebimento desses assuntos em ambiente odontológico. Conclusão: refletir sobre essas práticas e novas abordagens, consideramos uma nova conduta profissional, visando elevar a qualidade do atendimento odontológico ao paciente com autismo.

“…Implementation of Oral Health Education (OHE), especially the tooth brushing technique should be included in the curriculum for teachers as part of their training program. As a schoolbased early intervention program, it is believed to help children with ASD to improve their brushing technique which eventually improves their oral health [12]. This is supported by another study which indicated that the implementation of OHE and correct tooth brushing technique altered oral hygiene and plaque index among children with ASD.…”

Due to their disability to communicate and impaired sensory and motor behaviours, children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present a challenge to the dental care providers hence resulting in difficult routine dental care as well as increased risk for dental caries and other dental infections. This review aims to acquire a deeper understanding of the best approach to manage carious lesions for children with ASD at home and in dental clinics. A literature search was carried out in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane databases using main keywords including 'carious lesion', 'paediatric', 'dental decay', and 'developmental disability. The inclusion criteria were full articles in the English language and studies related to dentistry only. Out of the initial 326 articles found from the search, 17 articles were eligible to be analysed at the end. Literature, as reported by the studies, was then qualitatively gathered and arranged thematically. Our review found several effective strategies for caries management of children with ASD including the use of behavioural modifications, visual pedagogy, use of pre-treatment audio-visual aids and applications. In addition, clinical preventive procedures using fluoride-based therapy and restorative treatments were also reported to be effective on these children than on comparative groups. The findings from this review could enlighten the health literacy and competency of caregivers when providing oral health care for children with ASD at home and in dental clinics and highlight the awareness on children's 'dental sensitivity' albeit the pain from dental caries.

“…Otro importante grupo identificado para brindar apoyo a sujetos con TEA, lo conforman los profesores, quienes comparten gran parte de la jornada cotidiana, y además aportan en su proceso de aprendizaje enfocado en la conducta de cuidado, como se evidencia en un estudio realizado en Singapur (48) , en donde un programa de capacitación dirigido a maestros, aumentó el nivel de conocimiento en salud bucal, de esta manera se logra beneficiar a los planes de estudio de instituciones dirigidas a población con necesidades especiales, en donde existen adicionalmente otros sujetos que se encuentran a cargo del cuidado y bienestar de personas con TEA. En un estudio realizado en Arabia Saudita de 2015 (49) , para evaluar los conocimientos y actitudes que tenían proveedores de atención médica y educadores en lo referente a salud bucal de sujetos con TEA, se caracterizó al personal laboral, lo que permitió involucrar a todos los miembros del equipo.…”

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

El estado de salud bucal y la atención odontológica en sujetos con Trastornos del Espectro Autista (TEA), amerita atención, dada las características específicas en su fisiopatología bucal y algunos factores comportamentales que influyen el progreso de enfermedades bucales como la caries dental y la enfermedad periodontal. El objetivo de la presente revisión fue describir la evidencia referente a salud bucal, así como consideraciones relevantes para la atención odontológica en sujetos con TEA. Se realizó búsqueda sistemática de la literatura empleando los buscadores de información: EBSCOhost, ScienceDirect, y Scopus. Los descriptores empleados fueron: Trastorno del Espectro Autista, Salud Bucal, Caries dental, Enfermedades Periodontales, Atención Odontológica (DeCS-Bireme), sus combinaciones y equivalencias en inglés Autism Spectrum Disorder, Oral health, Dental caries, Periodontal Diseases, Dental care (MeSH-Database). Considerando artículos publicados entre 2014 y septiembre de 2019. Inicialmente, se revisaron los títulos y aplicaron criterios de elegibilidad para la descripción de evidencia incluida, correspondiente a 46 artículos, considerando su enfoque, tipología, idioma y año de publicación y luego se plantea un análisis de la información. Concluyendo que la evidencia sigue siendo controversial y limitada con tendencia a destacar deficiencias en la higiene bucal que se realiza en los hogares de sujetos con TEA, la presencia de caries dental, enfermedad periodontal y algunos hallazgos que condicionan la fisiología oral y progreso de enfermedades bucales. Así mismo, se resalta la dificultad en la atención odontológica a causa de la cuestionable preparación del personal de odontología y los consecuentes temores en los padres que puede limitar la asistencia a la consulta de manera oportuna y en edades tempranas para lograr una buena adaptación. Por todo lo anterior, la atención odontológica se convierte en un desafío que deberá orientar sus acciones con empatía para atender esta población con participación de la familia, profesores y otros miembros de instituciones especializadas, con carácter holístico y de medicina familiar.
