Abstract

The research proposes a comprehensive exploration of Brazilian dentists' conceptions of sexual and gender diversity, filling an apparent gap in theoretical and academic production related to LGBT+ older adults and recognizing that such conceptions play a crucial role in shaping the healthcare offered to this community. To answer the objective, a questionnaire will be administered via Google Forms to dentists who meet the necessary inclusion criteria. The results will be subjected to statistical analysis and the level of significance adopted for all comparisons will be p< 0.05. It is hoped that this research will be an initiative to allow Brazilian dentists and dental services to reflect on this issue in order to promote improvements in care by providing respect for sexual and gender diversity.
