The aim of the present study was to clinically assess the dental condition of patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This is an exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study with dental evaluation of 40 patients admitted to the General ICU of the Fundação de Beneficência Hospital Cirurgia based in Aracaju-SE. Data were collected from medical records regarding age, sex, deleterious habits and the causal factor of hospitalization. The analysis of the oral condition was classified in three categories: good, regular and bad. It was found that 67.50% of the patients were female. Regarding the medical condition of the individuals, it was observed that the most common factor was respiratory, reaching 32.50% of them, followed by sepsis and neurological factor, which correspond to 17.50% and 15.00% of patients, respectively. As for the distribution of dental conditions, it was observed that 65.00% had a regular condition, 27.50% of the patients had a good classification and 7.50% had a poor condition. Regarding the lingual coating index according to the area, it was seen that only 5.00% and 17.50% of the patients did not have coating, while 22.50% had up to 1/3 of the tongue, 32.50% up to 2 / 3 of the language and 22.50% more than 2/3 of the language. In relation to the index of lingual coating according to thickness, 20% of individuals had thin coating, while 47.50% and 32.50% presented with visible and non-visible lingual papillae, respectively. The results reveal that the majority of patients admitted to the ICU had a regular dental condition, and the most prevalent oral foci were toothless abscesses and oral candidiasis.
