Abstract

Background: Psychoeducation improves the adaptations of people with autism to new environments or activities through learning processes. Case description: Interdisciplinary intervention to develop skills and abilities in the patient with autism TEA (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the dental practice. 19-year-old male patient with diagnosis Generalized developmental disorder (TGD), typical autism. The intraoral clinical examination presents generalized calcified bacterial plaque and initial lesions of active caries. The proposed interventions are intended to improve patient behavior and anxiety, enhance tolerance in the dental practice of the patient before oral procedures and improve oral health conditions in the patient. The treatment included anticipation strategies, routines, extinction, setting of the space in which, specific protection, periodontics and basic operating procedures are programmed. Conclusions: The model proposed in this document to facilitate the dental care of people with ASD proposes various strategies within the currents in psychology and special education. Sessions with the support of psychoeducational strategies culminate with positive results for the patient's oral health and a progressive improvement in the patient's behavior.
