Abstract

The number of patients awaiting liver transplantation has increased worldwide. Its dental evaluation and treatment are recommended before liver transplantation, with the objective of eliminating foci of oral infections, avoiding oral complications and generalized infections after immunosuppressive therapy. For this, a standardization of dental clinical procedures must be used to standardize the types of treatment for certain diagnoses. The aim of this study is to propose a dental care protocol for patients who are candidates for liver transplantation. The dental procedures performed in the extension project “Dental Assistance to Liver Transplanted Patients”, demonstrated that they can be performed safely, as long as the appropriate changes in the systemic condition are evaluated, observing exams such as coagulogram and making the choice of the correct medication and working together with the multidisciplinary team will ensure a better quality of life for patients.
