The authors conducted a systematic review of scientific production about the National Policy on Reduction of Morbidity and Mortality from Accidents and Violence and its implications for the professional dentist. The objective was to determine how this issue has been addressed, identifying the existing literature on the role of a trader before this Policy. The search was conducted in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), selecting 16 articles, 9 found in databases Lilacs and SciELO and 7 only available in Lilacs. Of all selected studies, analyzed all references pointed out the importance of the qualification of health professionals to cope with external causes. However, only 3 references cited dentists throughout the article, without mentioning any implication for the performance of this professional front Policy. Thus, it is believed that the National Policy on Reduction of Morbidity and Mortality from Accidents and Violence has struggled for its implementation, requiring, therefore, disclosure and strength to legitimize itself.29410641070
