Summary:Objective: to address the findings in the literature regarding behavioral management strategies used by dentists in the dental care of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Material and Methods: the study was carried out at the Craveiro Costa Central Library, where scientific publications from 2000 to 2016 were reviewed. The search was carried out in the main databases, PubMed, Bireme, MedLine, EBSCO and SciELO, using the following key words: dentistry; autism; embracing; behavioral management; management. Results: 43 papers published in English, Portuguese and Spanish were retrieved. Based on the techniques used in the studies, it cannot be concluded which one would be the best and most effective because the choice for a technique depends on multiple factors. Conclusion: studies in dentistry related to behavioral management in patients with ASD are scarce, and further research in this area is necessary
