Resumen

Objetivo: Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar y mapear evidencia científica sobre estrategias dirigidas a mejorar la aceptación del cepillado dental en niños con autismo. Método: Se trata de una revisión de alcance con un protocolo de investigación desarrollado de acuerdo con las recomendaciones de PRISMA-ScR y el método propuesto por el JBI® Manual 2020. Se utilizó la estrategia Participantes, Concepto y Contexto (PCC) para formular la pregunta orientadora: "¿Qué estrategias se han desarrollado para mejorar la aceptación del cepillado dental en niños con Trastorno del Espectro Autista?" Resultados: Después de aplicar los criterios de elegibilidad, se seleccionaron 16 artículos. Se elaboraron temas de acuerdo con las estrategias de cepillado identificadas. Conclusión: Esta revisión de alcance indicó que los estudios sobre estrategias de cepillado dental en niños con autismo utilizan, en su mayoría, recursos visuales y muestran potencial para mejorar la aceptación del cepillado dental en estos niños.
