“…The results obtained in the diagnosis of fluorosis in the group of students were different from the results presented in the study done by Rigo et al 16 , in the year 2015, in the same institution. Their research, composed of ten images of different degrees of severity of dental DISCUSSION fluorosis, concluded that only three images were correctly diagnosed by the students, showing that an expressive number of students do not know how to diagnose it in clinical practice 16 . Thus, demonstrating that students are now acquiring more information for clinical decisionmaking.…”

“…This fact may represent a need for greater knowledge in the diagnosis of structural defects that affect dental enamel. There is a great concern in educating capable professionals to recognize the alterations and to indicate the appropriate treatment 16 . Regarding the perception of lesions, the patient may not judge the defect as an aesthetic problem and mild fluorosis does not seem to be a concern.…”

Introdução: O tecido que recobre a coroa dos dentes é o esmalte dentário, que promove proteção e revestimento. Trata-se de tecido mineralizado e sensível às variações do ambiente em sua formação, sendo que não sofre remodelação ao longo de seu ciclo de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar a escolha mais adequada do diagnóstico e opções de tratamento de lesões de esmalte dentário pelos docentes e discentes do curso de Odontologia. Método: Estudo quantitativo descritivo, cuja amostra foi composta por 98 discentes matriculados nas disciplinas de Clínicas Odontológicas do IV ao VIII nível e por 23 docentes. O instrumento de coleta dos dados foi um questionário composto por fotografias de quatro casos clínicos, cujos dentes apresentavam diferentes lesões em esmalte dentário: hipoplasia do esmalte dentário, fluorose dentária, amelogênese imperfeita e cárie dentária. Resultados: Dos 98 discentes, o acerto predominante foi o da fluorose dentária, onde 93,9% acertaram o diagnóstico. Enquanto o acerto predominante em relação ao tratamento foi o das lesões de cárie, onde 86,7% optaram por restauração direta. Dos 23 docentes, o acerto predominante frente ao diagnóstico foi de lesão de cárie, 100% acertaram o diagnóstico, enquanto o tratamento foi o de restauração direta no caso de hipoplasia, onde 95,7% fizeram essa opção de tratamento.Conclusão: Ambos os grupos apesentaram dificuldade na tomada de decisão de tratamento nos dentes com amelogênese imperfeita e com fluorose dentária leve. Os discentes relataram possuir dificuldade no diagnóstico diferencial na prática clínica frente às diferentes lesões que acometem os tecidos dentários, além de terem pouco conhecimento sobre o diagnóstico das lesões abordadas.

“…Difficulties in reaching a definitive diagnosis are usually encountered because these defects may have similar clinical presentation. Quantitative defects—commonly termed enamel hypoplasia—result from inadequate or insufficient formation of enamel matrix, generating a decrease in the amount of enamel formed 2 . Local factors such as trauma may lead to hypoplastic enamel, alongside systemic factors such as nutritional deficiency, neonatal illnesses, delayed birth, congenital syphilis and stress 2 .…”

Introduction/Objectives Enamel defects are disturbances in the quantity or quality of enamel, due to disruption or damage to the enamel organ during amelogenesis. The correct diagnosis of enamel defects is critical as diverse management options could be required for different conditions. Difficulties in diagnosis can happen, because these defects may have similar clinical presentations. This study evaluated the diagnostic skills in enamel defects of dental students of a prominent Australasian school. Methods A questionnaire consisting of clinical photographs of the affected teeth/dentition in multiple views and four standardised questions for each case of enamel defect were given to Year 4 and Year 5 students. Results Localised/Chronological Hypoplasia had the lowest percentage of correct diagnosis (20.5%), whilst Enamel White Spot Lesions (EWSLs) had the highest (85%). Localised/Chronological Hypoplasia had the lowest aetiology score (20.5%), and the highest was obtained for EWSLs (85%). In regard to which question to ask to gain insight into the conditions, Enamel Hypomineralisation/MIH had the lowest score for both Year 4 and Year 5 respondents (35.4% and 21.3%). Most respondents agreed more teaching in this topic was needed, with further clinical sessions to observe the enamel defects, workshops/seminars, lectures and student‐driven presentations suggested. Conclusion Final‐year dental students showed variable knowledge in diagnosis, aetiology and clinical management of enamel defects. Further didactic and clinical teaching should be incorporated in the undergraduate curriculum on this topic .

“…Solo cuando se conozcan los factores causales de los defectos de esmalte, será posible la prevención. 45 Pocos son los estudios que miden el nivel de conocimiento de los defectos de esmalte, [46][47][48][49] pareciera que se le da mayor importancia en este ámbito a los relacionados con caries dental. 50,51 Sin embargo, los DDE afectan no solo la integridad de la estructura dentaria, sino también acarrean problemas de sensibilidad, estética, función y además problemas de autoestima.…”

Objetivo: Evaluar el conocimiento de defectos de esmalte entre odontólogos especialistas en Odontopediatría y tratamientos disponibles Material y método: Fue una investigación de tipo descriptiva con un diseño de campo no experimental, con encuesta transversal. La población objeto de estudio estuvo conformada por 31 especialistas de Odontopediatría, practicantes en Venezuela, quienes provenían de 7 universidades de diferentes países. Resultados: Se encontró que 77,41% de los encuestados sabían el defecto de esmalte que estaban observando, específicamente fluorosis, y 51,61% Pigmentación. De los encuestados 41.93% acertaron con el diagnóstico de Hipomineralización Molar Incisivo. Los tratamientos más conocidos entre odontopediatras fueron la microabrasión (90.32%), blanqueamiento (58.06%), carillas (54.83%) y resinas (51.61%). Conclusión: Los odontopediatras consultados en el presente estudio mostraron un nivel aceptable de conocimiento hacia los defectos de esmalte y los tratamientos disponibles para mejorar la apariencia de los mismos.
