Aims:
This manuscript aimed to produce an illustrated booklet of Brazilian sign language (LIBRAS) booklet to facilitate the communication between dentists (and academics) and deaf patients during dental treatment and other healthcare promotion activities.
Methods And Results:
A literature review was conducted to select signs, symptoms, and diseases related to dentistry expressed in LIBRAS; in addition, photographs were taken to illustrate and produce the booklet. The booklet (in PDF format) was made available on an open-access website and printed copies were freely distributed at the dental clinics of the Federal University of Pará.
Conclusion:
Learning of specific LIBRAS is extremely important to guarantee social inclusion and improve dental treatment of deaf patients.
