- Abstract
Objective: To review articles available in scientific journals that portrayed the dental aspects of patients with Down Syndrome. Methods: This is a bibliographic review study carried out in 2020, the time limit established for the research was between 2008 to 2018, eligible for the bases of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), Coordination for the Improvement of Level Personnel Superior (CAPES) and Google Scholar. Conclusion: From the information obtained, we can conclude that supervised oral hygiene is essential in these individuals, due to motor limitations and the high prevalence of periodontal diseases. The dental surgeon must be prepared to assist patients with special needs through technical training and cultivation of human values, minimizing the various problems that these patients are already conditioned to face due to their disability.
