ABSTRACT

In health crisis situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, access to oral health services is often limited, especially in patients with special conditions that require clinical interventions, controls and follow-up of new or already scheduled treatments. Teleconsultation in dentistry represents a valuable resource in oral health for patients who present difficulties in accessing care. This article reports the clinical case of an 8-year-old patient with Down syndrome, attended by means of teleconsultation in dentistry. The intervention was planned in three stages: Stage 1. Oral and family risk assessment Stage 2. Orientation in oral and family health and Stage 3: Follow-up of activities. In this intervention, three instruments were adapted and a fourth was applied for data collection. The teleconsulta approach with this patient lasted 3 months, with weekly consultations using the WhatsApp application. Risk factors for the oral health of the patient and her family were identified, such as Down syndrome, presence of dental biofilm, high sugar consumption, low frequency of oral brushing and limited source of income due to the COVID-19 pandemic, among others. From the follow-up carried out by teleodentistry, acceptance of the educational orientation was achieved in order to reduce the risk factors found by the patient and her family.
