Manejo odontopediátrico del paciente con trastorno del espectro autista.

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder is a neurological condition that occurs in a high percentage of patients seen in the dental office, so dentists must be able to assist patients with such a diagnosis. The general objective of this research was to describe the guidelines for pediatric dentistry management of patients with ASD. The method was documentary, so the study presented was a bibliographical review. The main findings were that it is necessary to establish a climate of communication with the patient as well as with their parents and caregivers, in addition to the consideration of diseases derived from the lack of controls such as dental caries, gums, poor alignment of the teeth. The dentist is recommended to explain to the patient the procedures to be carried out.
