Data from the Ministry of Health in Brazil inform that a large part of the Brazilian population suffers with diseases in the oral cavity. When we talk about people with disabilities, data are scarce even knowing that this population demands greater oral health care. This public has difficulties in cleaning and chewing, in addition to suffering from limited access to health services, resulting in dental needs that can cause complications and systemic disorders, requiring high-complexity hospital care. This work aims to create a multidisciplinary hospital dental service for patients with disabilities. A bibliographic review of the literature was carried out in order to know the state of the art about dental services in university hospitals and the role of the dental surgeon. The increase in the number of patients seen, the economic viability and financial return of the service was demonstrated. A survey was carried out on the amounts paid through the SUS table as well as the possibility of structuring the service at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases of the Federal University of Tocantins (HDT-UFT) with the preparation of a protocol containing flow and criteria for the care of patients with disabilities and/or special needs in the hospital's dental service. It is concluded that there is a need to create a multidisciplinary hospital dental service for patients with disabilities or special needs in a university hospital (HDT-UFT) and that a future implementation of the service will imply a growth in the number of patients with better care in the area and increase in fundraising for the hospital.
