Objetivo: É relatar qual o papel do odontopediatra na saúde oral dos recém-nascidos e crianças com microcefalia.
Metodologia: Para o presente estudo foi realizada uma revisão de literatura, com recurso a artigos publicados em revistas cientificas disponíveis nas bases de dados: B-on, Lilacs, Medline e Scielo, tendo sido selecionados 40 artigos.
Descrição: A microcefalia é uma malformação congénita em que o cérebro não se desenvolve de forma adequada, o perímetro cefálico de um recém-nascido é menor que dois desvios-padrão da média para a idade e sexo. Apesar desta patologia já ter sido descrita na literatura, só obteve maior ênfase após a sua possível associação com o vírus Zika, tornando-se uma grande preocupação para os profissionais da saúde. Uma vez que existem diversas manifestações orais é de extrema importância o acompanhamento pela área da medicina dentária.
