ABSTRACT

O objetivo foi analisar a efetividade dos critérios empregados pela Odontologia Legal, comparando idade estimada (IE) com idade cronológica (IC) dos indivíduos desconhecidos que deram entrada no Instituto Médico Legal Dr. André Roquette em 2017. A amostra final de dados secundários foi de 167 desconhecidos, originados no Sistema de Informatização e Gerenciamento dos Atos de Polícia Judiciária-PCNet. Categorizou-se o uso do critério odontológico (Sim/Não), compreendido por: Dentes Presentes, Desgaste Dentário, Presença de Rebordos Remanescentes, Mineralização das Raízes Dentárias e Estrutura Óssea dos Maxilares, como "Sim" e Elementos Morfológicos do Corpo e Face, Tecidos Anexos como "Não". Os componentes da amostra foram divididos em Grupos 1, 2 e 3, de acordo com o estrato etário. Como resultado, viu-se que a maioria dos desconhecidos era do sexo masculino (91,7%). A prevalência de uso do critério odontológico foi de 100%. Concluiu-se que o uso dos critérios odontológicos é relevante estratégia pericial na estimativa de idade. Contudo, se faz premente a calibração da equipe e padronização de critérios, visando garantir a efetividade e o rigor científico, tanto no IMLAR/BH, como em outros Institutos Médico-legais do país.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the ethical and legal conducts of orthodontists regarding the professional/patient relationship, documentation used and degree of knowledge on the professional liability during the exercise of their specialty. This study sought to assess whether the time since graduation of the dentist as an expert interfered with their knowledge degree about the dental professional liability. The object population of the present study consisted of 56 dental surgeons, specialized in orthodontics, from the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The research was carried out using a survey addressed to these professionals, and descriptive statistics of the data. Chi-square test was used to check independence between factors and comparisons of proportions. 100% interviewed professionals request orthodontic documentation prior to the start of treatment; 71.5% request final documentation; 91% professionals affirmed they file this documentation; however, only 21.4% keep records for over 20 years; and most professionals (86%) use some sort of contract at the start of treatment, and a small percentage (30.4%) regard the liability of orthodontists as objective. It can be concluded that the interviewed professionals should acquire a higher level of knowledge regarding the professional liability and current legislation involving dental surgeons.


Este estudo avaliou as condutas éticas e legais dos profissionais ortodontistas quanto ao seu relacionamento profissional/paciente, à documentação utilizada e seu grau de conhecimento referente à responsabilidade profissional odontológica no exercício de sua especialidade, além de avaliar se o tempo de formação do cirurgião-dentista como especialista interferiu em seu grau de conhecimento sobre a responsabilidade profissional da área odontológica. A população objeto do presente estudo foi constituída de 56 cirurgiões-dentistas, especialistas em Ortodontia, da cidade de Belo Horizonte, Estado de Minas Gerias, Brasil. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de um questionário dirigido a estes profissionais para posterior análise estatística descritiva dos dados. Foi utilizado o Qui-quadrado para verificação de independência entre fatores e comparações de proporções. A documentação ortodôntica é solicitada por 100% dos profissionais entrevistados a antes de iniciar o tratamento; 71,5% solicitam documentação final; 91% dos profissionais responderam arquivar a documentação. Entretanto, somente 21,4% deles arquivam por mais de 20 anos; a maioria dos profissionais (86%) utiliza alguma forma de contrato ao iniciar o tratamento e pequena parte dos profissionais (30,4%) considera a responsabilidade dos ortodontistas como de resultado. Pode-se concluir que os profissionais entrevistados necessitam adquirir maior grau de conhecimento acerca da responsabilidade profissional e sobre a legislação vigente que envolve os cirurgiões-dentistas.

Aim: To evaluate the management adopted by orthodontists regarding root resorption caused byorthodontic treatment, relating it to their time of experience and the applicable legal norms.Methods: the study population consisted of 56 orthodontists from the city of Belo Horizonte(Minas Gerais State), and the tool to collect the data was a questionnaire with open and closedquestions. Data were subjected to descriptive analysis. The association between the variableswas analyzed by the chi-square test with significance level of 5%. Results: 57.6% of professionalstemporarily interrupt the treatment; in the prevention and/or control, most professionals (80.4%)perform initial and periodical radiographs (every six months). Among the professionals with lessthan 5 years of experience as a specialist, 88.9% usually make periodic radiographic control;100% affirmed to file the documents. No significant difference was found between dentists withdifferent times of experience regarding the practice of archiving the documents (p = 0.271).Among those with 5-15 years of experience, 77.4% perform periodic radiographic control and45.2% had already detected root resorption. Among those with more than 15 years of experience,71.4% usually perform the periodic radiographic control, and 85.7% had already faced somecase of root resorption in the clinical practice. Conclusions: Although most orthodontists adopt acorrect management facing the occurrence, prevention and control of root resorption associatedwith orthodontic treatment, the majority are unaware about existing legislation in our country.
