Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an early-onset neurological development disorder characterized by impairment of social and language skills, in addition to stereotyped behaviors. Patients with ASD are individuals who represent a great challenge for dentists, due to their complex and varied clinical manifestations, thus, dental treatment for this group is often considered challenging for parents and professionals. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of parents of patients with ASD about the use of mild to moderate sedation in dental care. A research with descriptive study and a qualitative approach was carried out to answer the dynamic and complex questions proposed to parents about mild to moderate sedation in patients with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The research was carried out in a private practice in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba. The study subjects were parents of patients with autism who had been sedated at least once in a dental appointment. Respondents showed great satisfaction with the use of sedation in dental care for patients with ASD. The research will contribute by providing a more assertive reality due to the personal experience with children undergoing sedation during dental care.
