Resumo:
INTRODUCTION: hearing (DA) is the absence, loss or substantial reduction of
the sense of hearing. Hearing loss is a very common sensory deficit and cause
great disadvantage. The dental care depends on communication, ensuring the
success of the procedure. The patients require a differentiated dental treatment
due to the limitations imposed by their disabilities. AIM: to describe behavior
management strategies for the dental care for patients with hearing loss through
a systematic review of the literature. METHODOLOGY: the databases
consulted were Medline, Pubmed, LILACS, SCIELO, Google Scholar and the
CAPES Journals, with the keywords "Dental Care" "hearing", "hearing loss",
"behavior" "hearing-impaired", "deaf". We have included articles in Portuguese
and English, of the last 10 years for which there was full access article.
RESULTS: 526 articles were found, being 488 in Google Scholar, 13 in
PubMed, MedLine, 18 2 in LILACS and 5 in CAPES Journals. Removed
redundant cross-references, appearing in more than one base, 5 were selected
articles (Google Scholar 1 and 4 of the LILACS). Based on the methodology, it
was possible to select 5 papers related to the topic of study, and behavior
management strategies found were: exploration of the senses of touch, sight
and taste, training to surgeons for use of or presence of sign language
interpreters, use of transparent visors to facilitate lip reading, use of pictorial
material; use of handmade toy, inclusion of the guidelines, quick consultations;
decrease of sounds in the environment; not performing sudden movements,
removing the hearing aid when using burs which produce high noise, and in
case of non cooperation: use of medicine or stabilization of patients, and use
devices for oral opening, and general anesthesia. CONCLUSION: there are few
recommendations in literature regarding behavior management in the dental
care of patients. There is a need, therefore, to carry out research in carefully
controlled conditions, to provide scientific evidence to support the
recommendations of existing clinics, in addition to the need to develop teaching
programs of management strategies of patient behavior to provide new skills for
students and dentists.
