Abstract

Hospital dentistry has reached levels of great importance in the care of hospitalized patients, especially those who remain for long periods in intensive care units. With the advancement of studies and observations, it is noted that an ideal oral health care has shown good results, especially with regard to opportunistic complications, such as in cases of infectious diseases that originate in the oral cavity, such as nosocomial pneumonia. The objective of the present study was to analyze the importance of the role of the dentist in an intensive care unit, in order to assess the risks related to oral infections, describe the dental care of critically ill patients and report possible oral problems. found in these patients. It was observed that the care with the oral health of the patient hospitalized in the ICU is proving to be increasingly necessary. The nursing team that works within this service does not have the preparation and knowledge to care for these patients, and the integration of the dental surgeon professional in the comprehensive care of hospitalized patients is very important. It was concluded that the role of the dental surgeon in intensive care units is important for maintaining the oral health of critically ill patients, having a positive impact on systemic health, by preventing the colonization of the oral cavity by pathogenic microorganisms and reducing the incidence of infections, such as ventilator-associated pneumonia
