“…Regarding professional practices, even without the confirmation of statistically significant associations, we found a high percentage of participants with a recurrent history of accidents with sharp equipments, mainly when recapping needles. Other studies have also observed this occurrence 11,32 , and they suggested the need for a continuous training of dental professionals and thematic debates in the workplace to provide dental surgeons with knowledge and showing them the value of self-care measures.…”

“…This association confirms the relevance of professional training, since acquiring this knowledge reflects in the practices and self-care conducts of dental professionals. Costa et al 32 observed that primary health care workers who have more knowledge on occupational health are more favorable to vaccination. Other studies observed this same behavior in Brazilian and Lithuanian dental surgeons, especially in the younger ones 33,34 .…”

“…This virus is a recognized occupational hazard for dental practitioners and professionals. Percutaneous or mucosal exposures to the blood of infected individuals represent the main source of occupational transmission, since minute amounts of blood are sufficient to transmit the infection, with great environmental resistance, surviving for more than a week at room temperature 4,5 .…”

Aim: to determine the previous prevalence of vaccination and immunity / serum conversion and after vaccination against hepatitis B in dental academics. Material and Methods: A study was carried out on 101 undergraduate dental students who were enrolled in 2017 and those who enrolled in the first half of 2018. The research consisted of two stages: the first one (T1) with a self-administered questionnaire with epidemiological data with a vaccination card check and by applying the test to confirm the immunization. The second one (T2) corresponding to vaccination non-seroconverted and never vaccinated in addition to the immunity test. Results: The age of the participants varied between 18 and 26 years (average of 21.5). Most were white (57.8%), followed by brown (31.6%) and black (8.4%). Seventy-one students (70.3%) entered the course due to wide competition and 30 (29.7%) by quota system. it was verified that 97 participants (96%) were immunized against HB, compared to 4 (4%) that were not. This result was statistically significant (χ² = 85.63, p <0.001). In the binomial probabilistic analysis of the risk factors studied, increasing age (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.02-1.14), history of blood transfusion (OR: 6.41; 95% CI: 1.53 6.83), increasing in the number of periods of clinical activity during the course (OR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.02-2.92), and history of accident with biological material (OR: 6.82; 95% CI: 1.59 -7.15) were significantly associated with HBV infection in the studied populationConclusion: The prevalence of seroconversion was 96.03%, corresponding to 97 immunized students. Although all dental academics completed the vaccination cycle (3 doses), 4 were not immunized. Vaccination and the need for serological testing (anti-HBs) for immunization verification should be encouraged to all dental students.

“…Deve-se levar em conta que as pessoas portadoras do HBV, através de seu sangue e outros fluidos já são infectantes aos outros indivíduos de duas a três semanas antes de surgirem os primeiros sinais da doença 4 . A hepatite B é considerada uma doença ocupacional dos profissionais da saúde e está relacionada com o grau de exposição desses profissionais em seus ambientes laborais, por meio de sua relação direta com a manipulação de sangue de pacientes infectados pelo HBV 5 . Os cirurgiões-dentistas são, portanto, grupo de risco em relação às doenças virais, incluindo a hepatite B, por estarem diariamente expostos a patógenos, em ambientes clínicos e por seu alto poder infectante, devendo se manterem bem informados 6 .…”

ResumoIntrodução: Os profissionais de saúde são grupo de risco em relação a hepatite B, por estarem diariamente expostos a patógenos em ambientes clínicos. A prevenção contra o vírus da hepatite B na prática odontológica está associada ao uso de equipamentos de proteção individual, desinfecção e esterilização dos equipamentos e materiais utilizados e também a manutenção da imunização ativa. Objetivo: Avaliar e comparar o conhecimento de acadêmicos iniciantes e concluintes de um curso de Odontologia sobre a hepatite B e suas formas de transmissão, prevenção, imunização e risco de acidente biológico. Material e Método: Estudo descritivo transversal, efetuado mediante a aplicação de questionário para levantamento sobre o conhecimento de 238 alunos ingressantes e concluintes de um curso de Odontologia. Resultados: Sobre a necessidade da utilização de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual em atendimentos clínicos, 87,4% responderam adequadamente a necessidade da utilização de todos os equipamentos. Apenas 20,2% dos alunos disseram terem sido vacinados com 3 ou 4 doses da vacina e 15,5% afirmaram terem realizado o teste laboratorial para confirmação da soroconversão. Conclusão: É essencial que graduandos de Odontologia sejam conscientizados da importância da adoção das medidas preventivas com relação às doenças infectocontagiosas e cobertura vacinal antes de ingressarem na prática clínica, uma vez que, o acidente percutâneo é o fator de risco mais importante para a transmissão ocupacional da Hepatite B entre cirurgiões-dentistas. Descritores: Hepatite B; Contenção de Riscos Biológicos; Riscos Ocupacionais. AbstractIntroduction: Health professionals are a risk group of hepatitis B, because they are daily exposed to pathogens during clinical settings. Prevention of hepatitis B virus in dental practice is associated with the use of personal protective equipment, disinfection and sterilization of equipment and materials used and specially by immunization. Objective: To evaluate and compare the knowledge of beginning and finishing students of a Dentistry course on hepatitis B and its forms of transmission, prevention, immunization and risk of biological accident. Material and Method: Descriptive cross sectional study, done through the application of a questionnaire to survey the knowledge of 238 incoming and finishing students of a Dentistry course. Results: Regarding the need to use equipments for individual safety in clinical care, 87.4% responded adequately to the need to use all equipment. Only 20.2% of the students reported having been vaccinated with three or four doses of the vaccine and 15.5% stated that they had undergone the laboratory test to confirm seroconversion. Conclusion: It is essential that graduates of Dentistry be aware of the importance of adopting preventive measures regarding infectious diseases and vaccination coverage before entering clinical practice, since percutaneous accident is the most important risk factor for occupational transmission of Hepatitis B among dentists.
