Abstract

This chapter seeks to address, in the format of an integrative review of the literature, the impact of oral problems on the quality of life of terminal patients and the participation of Dentistry in the palliative care team. For the development, the PRISMA recommendation, the health descriptors or MeSH Terms "palliative care", "dentistry" and "oral health", in their versions in Portuguese, English and Spanish, combined with the Boolean operators "AND" and "OR", by the advanced search form, were considered. The records were selected by two independent researchers, based on the reading of the title and the abstract and considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined. From 546 records collected, three made up the synthesis table. There was evidence on the negative impact of oral health problems on the quality of life of terminally ill patients; but there are gaps in information about the participation of the dental surgeon in the multidisciplinary care team.
