ABSTRACT

Os profissionais, usuários e demais envolvidos no atendimento odontológico estão expostos a diversos riscos ocupacionais. A pesquisa teve como objetivos identificar os riscos ocupacionais existentes, os procedimentos realizados, os equipamentos de proteção individual utilizados, os treinamentos recebidos e os acidentes sofridos. A amostra do tipo não probabilística foi composta por 61 acadêmicos, 27 docentes e 12 técnicos-administrativos. Os dados foram coletados através da observação dos atendimentos realizados e um questionário semi-estruturado. Das vinte e oito observações realizadas, a maioria foi na Clinica Integrada do Adulto (53,6%), seguida pela Clínica Integrada Infantil (35,7%) e na Dentística (10,7%). Para a totalidade dos docentes e técnicos existem riscos, sendo referidos o biológico e de acidente. A maioria (98,4%) dos acadêmicos considera a existência de riscos, contudo 1,6% a negam e 8,2% deles sofreram acidentes. Quanto ao uso de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPI), 25% dos técnicos-administrativos não têm o hábito de usá-los. Embora os acadêmicos e docentes tenham relatado seu uso como forma de proteção, nem todos citaram a paramentação completa. Assim, o registro de acidentes e a baixa adesão aos EPI´s evidenciou a necessidade de treinamento e conscientização dos envolvidos.


Professionals, users and other people involved in the dental treatment services are exposed to several kinds of risks occupational. A research was carried out aiming at identifying the existence of risks occupational, the proceedings performed, the protection equipment used in the treatments, the training received and the accidents suffered. The sample of the type not probabilística was composed of 61 university students, 27 professors and 12 administrative technicians. The data collecting was carried out in two stages: the observation of the treatments done and a semi-structured questionnaire. Most of the twenty-eight observations were done at the Integrated Clinic for Adults (53,6%), followed by the observations at the Integrated Clinic for Children (35,7%) and at the Dentistic Section (10,7%). According to all the professors and technicians, there are risks in the activities performed, being the biological and the accident risks the most cited by the subjects. The majority (98,4%) of the university students consider the existence of risks, 1,6% of them deny it and 8,2% of them have already suffered an accident. Concerning the Individual Protection Equipment (EPI), 25% of the administrative technicians do not usually use them. Although the universitary students and teachers have mentioned the use of the equipment as a form of protection, not all of them have mentioned the complete items to be worn. Thus, the record of accidents and the little use of the Individual Protection Equipments showed the need of training and raising the awareness of the people involved in the treatment services.
