Abstract

Objective: To analyze parental knowledge and oral health in infants with autism spectrum disorder. Method: A systematic review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. Fifteen studies were included. Conclusion: The reviewed studies suggest that interventions based on video modelling and social stories are effective tools for improving the cooperation of children with ASD during oral hygiene practices. These techniques not only help children learn and retain brushing skills, but also facilitate the reduction of anxiety and disruptive behavior during dental visits. Parental involvement in the implementation of these strategies is crucial to their success.
