MAJOR APPROACHES OF ATRAUMATIC SURGERY IN DENTISTRY.

Introduction: It is estimated that in dental atraumatic surgery in general, studies of synthesis and meta-analysis and decision analysis that represent nearly 27.0 % of all studies. Most of the selected studies was developed in the USA, Netherlands and the UK. These three countries and 15 journals were responsible for almost 50.0 % of all publications. The other papers were published in other journals and 61 originated from 32 other countries, including Brazil. Objective: to demonstrate through the literature review the importance of improving the techniques of atraumatic surgeries in dentistry. Methods: Following the criteria of literary search with the use of the Mesh Terms that were cited in the item below on "Search strategies", a total of 45 papers that were submitted to the eligibility analysis were collated and, after that, 27 studies were selected. Conclusion: It is concluded that there are several attempts to minimize the effort of the professional, reduce the surgical time and ease the bleeding and inflammatory processes, edema, pain and ecchymosis that can affect patients. Thus, the maximum preservation of the integrity of the soft tissues adjacent to the prosthetic spaces and the preservation of the level of the alveolar bone collar should be sought to achieve minimization of surgical trauma.
