Abstract
The dental management of special needs patients creates doubt and anxiety among dentists. The theme is underexplored throughout the undergraduate course and the dentists have not enough theoretical foundation to work on this field. Special needs patients are those individuals who have permanent or transitory mental, physical, organic social and / or behavioral impairments. Thus, the aim of this study was to assist dentists in the best dental management choice for special needs patients. It was revised and more specifically detailed the management on dental base office, the management under sedation and under general anesthesia, and home care treatments for patients with special needs, with the aim of developing guidelines on management of dental patients with special health care needs to facilitate the execution of dental treatment of these patients. From this literature review, we proposed a guideline to assist the dentist in choosing the best therapeutic approach for the dental treatment of patients with special needs.
