Avulsão em dentes permanentes: conhecimento de acadêmicos de odontologia

Abstract

Este é um estudo descritivo que tem como objetivo verificar o conhecimento de acadêmicos do 5º ao 10º período de Odontologia frente ao traumatismo do tipo avulsão em dentes permanentes. Foi utilizado como instrumento de coleta dos dados um questionário previamente validado, contendo 12 questões e aplicado a 215 acadêmicos do curso de Odontologia de uma instituição privada de ensino de João Pessoa, PB. O conhecimento dos acadêmicos de Odontologia frente a um traumatismo do tipo avulsão em dentes permanentes foi satisfatório. Embora, seja indicada a prática de palestras educativas, cursos de atualização, seminários, e aprimoramento das técnicas de ensino para uma melhor fixação do conteúdo, e com isso, aprimorar o aprendizado.

Avaliação do conhecimento de alunos de graduação em Odontologia sobre avulsão dentária

“…is, answering that it consists of displacing the tooth outside the implantation site. This result is similar to the finding of the study by Souza et al 17 with students of dentistry from the 1st to the 10th semester, who had 97.1% the correct concept of tooth avulsion.…”

“…The recommended and most practiced conduct in cases of dental avulsion is reimplantation, which must be carried out even if the conditions are not favorable, always with the intention of saving the tooth. 17 When evaluated on the conduct regarding tooth avulsion during sports practice, 91.8% of students (similar percentage among students from the 2nd to the 5th semester and from the 6th to the 8th semester) answered that the tooth should be reimplanted, showing that most students have knowledge about the correct conduct in face of dental avulsion cases. This result is similar to the study carried out with dental surgeons by Garcia et al 19 that shows dentists having knowledge about the correct conduct in cases of dental avulsion.…”

“…Although dental trauma is considered a public health problem, studies show that the professionals involved in dental trauma, whether they are present in the place where the trauma occurred, or participate in their treatment, show little knowledge about the subject. 17,18 Having in mind the importance of how to proceed, as well as immediate and mediate care in cases of avulsion, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge of undergraduate students of the dentistry of Veiga de Almeida University about dental avulsion.…”

“…This result shows the importance of continued study on the subject. Souza et al, 17 evaluating dentistry students from the 5th to the 8th semester, found that 89% said they had received instruction on the subject, through classes (69%), through books (19%) and with a dentist or another professional (6.7%).…”

Knowledge of Avulsion of Permanent Teeth Emergency Management Among Undergraduate in Brazilian Health Care Students

“…When comparing knowledge about tooth avulsion among dentistry, nursing, and medical students, dentistry students had the highest percentage of correct answers in all the questions evaluated. Previous research suggests that, with the exception of the dentistry program, degree programs in the health field do not include approaches to dental trauma in their course curricula [13,30] and/or that the students in these courses do not assign importance to the information provided by the lecture classes on this subject [13].…”
