ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease presents a gradual loss of memory and psychomotor activities, leading to the inability to perform activities of daily living. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze the literature on the main challenges of dentistry in the face of elderly people with Alzheimer's. METHODOLOGY: An integrative review was carried out, using searches in the LILACS, SCIELO and PUBMED databases, using the Boolean operator AND and using articles published between 2008 and 2018, in Portuguese and English, available in full. RESULTS: We analyzed 22 articles dealing with the proposed theme. The results that cause Alzheimer's disease cause damage to oral health, resulting more commonly in the occurrence of caries and periodontal disease. In addition, few professionals are able to treat and care for these patients. CONCLUSION: Greater professional training is necessary for the treatment of these patients, since the dentist is authorized to treat Alzheimer's patients.
KEYWORDS: Oral Health, Geriatric dentistry, Universalization of health.
