Objetivo: este estudo tem por objetivo identificar e mapear evidências científicas de estratégias que visem a melhoria da aceitação de crianças com autismo à escovação dentária. Método: trata-se de revisão de escopo com protocolo de pesquisa desenvolvido de acordo com recomendações de PRISMA-ScR e método proposto por JBI® Manual 2020. A estratégia Participants, Concept e Context foi utilizada para elaboração da pergunta norteadora: “Que estratégias são desenvolvidas para melhorar a aceitação de crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista à escovação dentária?”.
