Abstract

Not only in Brazil, but there is a worldwide movement in search of environmental sustainability, due to the scarcity of natural resources. Therefore, this research asks: Is environmental, economic and social sustainability inserted in dental clinics and offices? In order to answer the guiding question of this study, a systematic review of the literature was carried out following the methodological guidelines outlined by PRISMA. The search for the articles occurred in the PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases. In this research, gray literature was added. The search strategy developed in the databases identified a total of 749 articles. Of these, 647 articles were excluded for not including dental clinics or offices as the object of study, but other areas of Health; in addition, 32 were excluded because they were duplicated. The resulting 70 articles were submitted to full text analysis; of the 53 studies, 28 were included in this research and 25 were excluded. According to the researched literature, there is growing interest and effort among dental professionals in search of sustainability in dental clinics. Although, often, the lack of knowledge and information is not the problem, but putting such knowledge into practice.
