Abstract

Objective: to analyze information in the literature
about mentioned pathology with a dental focus,
based on current evidence in order to structure a
clinical conduct, preventive and therapeutic methods. Literature Review: literature searches were
performed in December 2020, using pre-established descriptors, in the databases LILACS and
PubMed/MEDLINE, in addition to complementations using Google Scholar. About 563 articles
were found, refined in 10, along with the use of 3
books. Final Considerations: From the findings, it
was found that the performance of a careful anamnesis during the first consultation is essential,
as it helps to understand the patient’s pathophysiological aspects, which will determine the use
of drugs, mainly, before invasive procedures. On
the other hand, this matter was neglected in the
Dental field, due to the fact that there are few studies related to the clinical management of patients
with Rheumatic Fever (RF), and further research is
necessary, with the aim of building an adequate
clinical conduct, reducing the risks and the incidence of such a disease.
Keywords: Rheumatic Fever; dentistry; dental prophylaxis.
