“…To demonstrate the reliability of our results, the response rate was stratified and analyzed according to the criteria of legal nature of the institution, Enade results and time of establishment of the programs. The overall response rate was 47.8%, a result similar to other surveys that carried out an equivalent methodology in the country 29 . It is worth mentioning that in Brazil there is a high number of undergraduate dental programs, which has been the result of a policy to expand private higher education in the last 15 years, making a high response rate in surveys almost impossible 30 .…”

This study aimed to evaluate the impact and operating strategies that the undergraduate dental programs in Brazil have adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. A web survey approach was performed in May/June 2020. All coordinators of dental programs in Brazil were contacted by e-mail and invited to answer an online questionnaire consisting of eight questions on four domains: suspension of academic activities, activities maintained, teaching alternatives offered and changes in planning after the pandemic outbreak. The response rate was analyzed by stratifying the program's legal nature, result of the national performance assessment and time of the establishment of the programs. The data from the responses to the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Of a total of 481 programs, 230 responded to the survey (47.8%). The response rate was 100% for public programs and 40.8% for private programs. Most programs (83.3%) suspended all presential activities, and a small portion maintained only emergency care. Few programs completely suspended activities (16.7%), while most maintained theoretical activities using virtual environments (Google Meet or Hangouts, Zoom or Microsoft Teams). Most programs (50%) organized discussions to ensure the graduation of senior students and adopted alternative means for student assessment (30%). Planning the return of activities mainly involves adaptation to the protocols for clinical care (86.3%) and social distancing (82.4%). The pandemic directly impacted the functioning of Brazilian dental programs by causing the total suspension of practical activities and migration of theoretical activities to virtual environments.

“…The overall response rate (63.4%) may be considered satisfactory because of the significant number of dental schools in Brazil; in this study, 235 institutions were contacted, and 149 answered the survey. Also, the obtained response rate is even higher than that related in other Brazilian surveys based on questionnaires [17][18][19] This study demonstrates that SDF is a topic of theoretical lectures and is used in the clinical practice of the Pediatric Dentistry of most Brazilian dental schools, then the null hypothesis could be rejected. These findings contrast with the data obtained in American dental schools 11 and from a study carried out in dental schools in the United Kingdom 13 .…”

This study investigated the teaching and use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in Pediatric Dentistry in undergraduate Brazilian dental schools through a questionnaire-based cross-sectional analysis. Two-hundred and thirty-five questionnaires were e-mailed to directors of Pediatric Dentistry of undergraduate Brazilian dental schools. The details of the teaching and use of SDF in clinical practice were asked. Obtained data were analyzed descriptively and using the chi-square test. A total of 149 complete questionnaires were returned (63.4%). Most of schools taught SDF in lectures (73.8%, p <0.001). The majority use SDF in clinical practice (64.4%, p <0.001), but its use is not frequent (11.4%, p<0.001). All dental schools reported that SDF is applied in primary teeth, and few reported its use for permanent teeth (36.4%, p = 0.01). SDF has been used mainly for cavitated caries in primary teeth of children aged 0 to 3 years (93.7%, p<0.001), with restricted use in posterior teeth (42.7%, p <0.001). Although SDF is teaching and used in clinical practice in Pediatric Dentistry in most Brazilian undergraduate schools, its use is not frequent. Furthermore, SDF is not considered an option for caries lesions in some dental schools
