Method: An integrative peer review was conducted in the databases IBECS, LILACS, SCIENCE DIRECT, SciELO, PUBMED, SCOPUS, MEDLINE and Scholar Google,January to November of 2017 and in parallel a search of available applications on the Android platform®, and websites of computer science, such as the IEEE Xplore. Results: In the integrative review, 12 articles were ed that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. In searches on websites, 11 games were classified as serious games aimed for oral hygiene. A total of 284 apps were identified at Play Store®, with predominance for interventionist activity in dental offices, with pain, dental caries and trauma being the main plots. Few applications focused on oral hygiene education are available. As for intended audience, there is the prevalence of children\'s public. Conclusions: Despite the scarcity of publications on the subject, exploring technological resources as educational options for children\'s oral hygiene indicate an area of knowledge with academic potential and possible applications for public health.
