Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Paper medical records are being replaced by electronic dental records for
storing patients’ personal and clinical data. OBJECTIVE: Through a scoping review, this study
aims to investigate the impacts and challenges of the use of electronic medical records in dental
practice, including its ethical and legal aspects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The
bibliographic research took place in the period of March 2021, in the databases
Medline/PubMed, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science and as gray literature, the first hundred
articles searched in Google Scholar. The main question of this research, "What are the impacts
on dental practice of the use of Electronic Medical Records?", was based on the acronym PCC
(Population; Concept; Context) and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines as a reporting guide. The
descriptors used were: "Electronic Health Records" and "Dentistry", indexed in the
Decs/MeSH platform (Descriptors in Health Sciences) and used without temporal and language
restriction. The Mendeley reference manager was used and, for the selection of studies, the Rayyan software. RESULTS: Initially, 3,065 studies were found. After excluding the duplicate
studies, the selection was made by reading the titles and abstracts. Thirty-two articles became
eligible for full reading, obtaining nine studies to make up the sample. CONCLUSION: In the
investigation of electronic dental records, it was possible to identify positive impacts, for
example a greater integration of information, which facilitates the analysis of professionals
before the clinical evaluation of patients; better understanding of laboratory and imaging tests;
standardization, updating and security of information.
Keywords: Electronic Health Records. Dental Records. Dentistry.
