Objective: The objective of the present study was to review the indicators of self-care and oral health in brazilian adolescents. Methodology: The search strategy (adolescent AND oral health) AND Brazil* was used in Pubmed and LILACS databases. Articles published between 2012 and 2017 that presented data on self-care and oral health of brazilian adolescents were included in this review. Synthesis of data: 837 and 1375 articles were retrieved from the Pubmed and LILACS databases, respectively. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7 articles were included.
