Identify, in scientific production, the main oral manifestations associated with sexually transmitted infections. This is an integrative literature review, with timeframe from 2009 to 2018, using the descriptors “Oral Manifestations” and “Sexually Transmitted Diseases” in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS and SciELO databases. Of the 12 articles selected, 25% were conducted in Brazil, 58.33% were published in dental journals and 66.66% aimed to evaluate the prevalence of oral manifestations associated with the human immunodeficiency virus. The most frequent oral manifestations were oral candidiasis, periodontal disease, oral hairy leukoplakia, melanotic hyperpigmentation, herpes simplex, dental caries, nonspecific ulcer, Kaposi's sarcoma and xerostomia. It is concluded that, despite the limitations of the included studies, it was possible to notice that the changes promoted in the oral cavity by STI ranged from the most common conditions, such as caries and periodontal diseases, to specific conditions such as Kaposi's sarcoma.
