ABSTRACT:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that may directly affect oral health and access to dental care. Children with ASD are more predisposed to dental caries, periodontal disease, bruxism, and orthodontic alterations, frequently associated with sensory hypersensitivity, food selectivity, and difficulties with oral hygiene. In addition, the dental environment may trigger anxiety and resistant behaviors. This review analyzed the main challenges related to the oral health of children with ASD and demonstrated that individualized strategies, sensory adaptation, visual resources, and caregiver participation contribute to more humanized and effective dental care.
