Resumen
Objetivo: Mapear, evaluar y sintetizar el estado actual de las evidencias disponibles sobre la influencia de las redes sociales en la promoción de la salud bucal en adolescentes. Métodos: Fue una revisión de alcance fundamentada en cinco bases de datos, se utilizaron los descriptores: 'adolescentes', 'redes sociales', 'salud oral' y sus derivaciones asociadas con los operadores booleanos AND y OR. Se incluyeron artículos que respondían a la pregunta guía de la investigación, excluyendo los duplicados y aquellos que no se ajustaban a la temática. La investigación fue registrada en Open Science Framework (OSF). Resultados: Inicialmente se identificaron 271 artículos, quedando 9 que cumplían con los criterios de elegibilidad. Se observaron estudios en 4 continentes, con edades comprendidas entre 10 a 24 años. Estos trabajos evaluaron el impacto de las redes sociales contextos como: caries dental, alfabetización y orientación de higiene. Consideraciones finales: Las publicaciones señalan la interacción frecuente de los adolescentes con las redes sociales. Por lo tanto, estas pueden representar una alternativa en la educación y promoción de la salud bucal para la población adolescente. Sin embargo, se necesitan estudios futuros para validar sus beneficios. Para ello, es necesario implementar acciones utilizando las redes sociales con este fin.
