Sumario:AbstractINTRODUCTION: Paper medical records are being replaced by electronic dental records for storing patients’ personal and clinical data. OBJECTIVE: Through a scoping review, this study aims to investigate the impacts and challenges of the use of electronic medical records in dental practice, including its ethical and legal aspects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The bibliographic research took place in the period of March 2021, in the databases Medline/PubMed, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science and as gray literature, the first hundred articles searched in Google Scholar. The main question of this research, "What are the impacts on dental practice of the use of Electronic Medical Records?", was based on the acronym PCC (Population; Concept; Context) and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines as a reporting guide. The descriptors used were: "Electronic Health Records" and "Dentistry", indexed in the Decs/MeSH platform (Descriptors in Health Sciences) and used without temporal and language restriction. The Mendeley reference manager was used and, for the selection of studies, the Rayyan software. RESULTS: Initially, 3,065 studies were found. After excluding the duplicate studies, the selection was made by reading the titles and abstracts. Thirty-two articles became eligible for full reading, obtaining nine studies to make up the sample. CONCLUSION: In the investigation of electronic dental records, it was possible to identify positive impacts, for example a greater integration of information, which facilitates the analysis of professionals before the clinical evaluation of patients; better understanding of laboratory and imaging tests; standardization, updating and security of information.Keywords: Electronic Health Records.
