“…Although the accomplishment of x-ray exams in dentistry is usually considered a semi-critical procedure, many infectious diseases can be transmitted by saliva 14 . In a crosssectional study of Shaghaghian et al 17 , with 191 Dentistry students of Shiraz, Iran, who answered a questionnaire with demographic information and experiences of acute lesions and mucocutaneous contamination, saliva was the most common body fluid (99%) in which the students came into contact.…”

Durante as tomadas radiográficas na clínica odontológica, o operador entra em contato com a cavidade oral do paciente e, em seguida, com o cone de raios-X e botão de exposição, o que pode haver infecção cruzada, sem as medidas de biossegurança adequadas. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a conduta dos alunos do curso de Odontologia da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba a respeito da biossegurança em Radiologia Odontológica. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, observacional, de caráter descritivo, realizado por meio da aplicação de questionário com perguntas relacionadas à biossegurança em Radiologia Odontológica, no qual participaram alunos do 5º ao 10º período do curso de Odontologia da referida instituição. Os alunos que estavam cursando ou haviam cursado o componente curricular Radiologia Odontológica foram incluídos no estudo. Foram respondidos 88 questionários. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. No que diz respeito à preocupação com o controle de infecção, 99% dos alunos mostraram-se preocupados com biossegurança. Quanto à solução química mais utilizada para desinfecção, o álcool a 70% se mostrou o mais utilizado (63%). Em relação a prática de desinfecção do equipo, 78% não responderam à questão. Quanto à proteção dos filmes intrabucais, 97% responderam que fazem uso de barreiras mecânicas. Quanto ao procedimento feito após o uso dos posicionadores, a maioria (58%) dos alunos respondeu que utiliza soluções desinfetantes. Concluiu-se que a maioria dos alunos se mostraram preocupados com a biossegurança na clínica de Radiologia e que possuíam condutas adequadas de desinfecção antes, durante e após os procedimentos.Palavras-chave: Odontologia.

Abstract During radiographic taking at the dental clinic, the operator contacts the patient's oral cavity and with the X-ray cone and exposure button, which may be cross-infection, without adequate biosafety measures. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the behavior of dental students of the State University of Paraíba regarding biosafety in Dental Radiology. This is a cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study, carried out through the application of a questionnaire with questions related to biosafety in Dental Radiology, in which participated students from the 5th to 10th period of the Dentistry course of this institution. The students who were studying or had studied the curricular component Dental Radiology were included in the study. Eighty-eight questionnaires were answered. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. With regard to infection control concern, 99% of the students were concerned about biosafety. As for the most used chemical solution for disinfection, 70% alcohol was the most used (63%). Regarding the disinfection practice of the equipment, 78% did not respond to the question. Concerning the protection of intraoral films, 97% answered that they use mechanical barriers. As for the procedure done after the use of the positioners, the majority (58%) of the students answered that they use disinfectant solutions. It was concluded that most of the students were worried about biosafety in the Radiology Clinic and that they had adequate disinfection behavior before, during and after procedures.Keywords: Dentistry.

“…In this sense, the questionnaire is considered a simple and effective method that is widely used in the evaluation of such lines 11 . However, studies that use this method for evaluation of behaviors related to biosafety in Radiology, both professionals and students, are scarce 8,[12][13][14] .…”

“…As for controlling the flow of people in clinics and radiology centers, the recommendation was that there should be an interval between consultations [ 7 , 13 , 17 ], but, according to the professionals in this study, this was not strictly followed. Most participants attended their patients in a continuous flow, which can lead to an increase in the transmission of COVID-19, not allowing the appropriate action of disinfection for each patient, reinforcing what the literature brings about the neglect of biosafety in dentistry [ 18 ].…”

Objective To analyze the challenges and impacts of COVID-19 on the routine of Brazilian oral radiologists regarding changes in biosafety protocols, number of patients and staff, the flow of acquisition, and availability of images. Methods Structured digital questionnaires with questions related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Oral Radiology were applied and analyzed. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to describe the items included in the survey, and means and standard deviations were calculated to describe continuous variables and frequency percentages to describe categorical data. Results A high number of Brazilian oral radiologists continued to work in the pandemic period, with little or no change in their working hours. Digital flow and teleradiology are in most of their workplaces and the changes imposed by the pandemic will be incorporated and permanent, according to most of the participants in this study. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic brought important impacts on radiology clinics, with changes in the flow of patients, in the service and in the type of exam performed. In addition, adaptation to biosafety standards became necessary, with a significant increase in spending on personal protective equipment.
