  • Resumen
    •  Oral decay prior to a hospital medical-surgical procedure is a risk factor for the development of postoperative complications. However, perioperative oral practices as a protective factor have not been studied. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative oral practices in the reduction of risk of developing postoperative complications in in-hospital medical surgical procedures.

      This review and meta-analysis was conducted according to Cochrane guidelines. Medline, Scopus, Scielo, and Cochrane were consulted. Articles of the previous 10 years concerning adult patients undergoing perioperative oral practices prior to hospital medical-surgical procedures, were included. Data of the type of perioperative oral practice, type of postoperative complication and measures of effect on the development of complications were extracted.

      Of a pool of 1470 articles, 13 were included for systematic review and 10 for meta-analysis. The most common perioperative oral procedures were focalized approach (FA), referred to only the elimination of infectious foci in the oral cavity and comprehensive approach (CA), referred to a integral approach of the patient's oral health, both of which were mainly performed in oncologic surgeries, both were effective in the reduction of postoperative complications (RR=0.48, [95% CI 0.36 - 0.63]). The most reported postoperative complication was postoperative pneumonia.

      Perioperative oral management proved to be a protective factor against the development of postoperative complications.
