ABSTRACT
Aim: To estimate the prevalence and associated factors of self-reported depressive symptoms in undergraduate and graduate dental students. Methods: The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was applied, and only the depression domain was verified. A structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic, behavioral, and COVID-19 pandemic-related fear variables. Academic performance was assessed based on academic records, ranging from 0 (worst possible grade) to 10 (best possible grade). Respondents included 408 regularly enrolled dental students. Bi- and multivariate analyses were performed using Poisson regression with robust variance to verify the association between at least moderate depressive symptoms and independent variables. Results: The prevalence of at least moderate depression was 40.5% among undergraduate students and 26% among graduate students. The prevalence of fear and anxiety due to the COVID-19 pandemic was 96.1% among undergraduate students and 93.5% among graduate students. In the final multivariate analysis, being female (prevalence ratio [PR]:2.01; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]:1.362.96) was associated with a higher PR for depression. Conversely, no exposure to smoking (PR:0.54; 95%CI:0.360.82) and a final academic performance average ≥7.0 (PR:0.56; 95%CI:0.410.76) was associated with a lower PR for depression. Finally, among graduate students, a non-heterosexual orientation was associated with a higher PR for depression (PR:6.70; 95%CI:2.2120.29). Conclusion: Higher rates of depression symptoms were observed in female undergraduates, students with lower academic performance and smoking exposure, and graduate dental students with a non-heterosexual orientation

Objetivo: O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a associação entre as características das crianças com o estresse apresentado por estudantes de graduação em Odontologia durante o atendimento odontopediátrico. Materiais e métodos: Participaram 48 crianças com idade entre 6 e 10 anos e 37 alunos voluntários do 7º, 8º e 9º semestres de um curso de Odontologia. Foi realizado um questionário sobre aspectos socioeconômicos e também coletados dados sobre comportamento, percepção de dor e ansiedade da criança e do responsável. Ainda, foram coletados dados relacionados aos alunos da graduação: sexo, semestre, nível de estresse, tipo de procedimento realizado. Foram obtidas as frequências absolutas e relativas por meio da análise descritiva dos dados. As comparações nos desfechos de interesse foram feitas utilizando o teste quiquadrado para variáveis dicotômicas e categóricas, teste linear por linear para variável ordinal e teste exato de Fischer para contagens menor do que 5. Foi adotado um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos operadores que atenderam crianças não colaboradoras relataram nível de estresse alto (83,33%) (p<0,001). Os operadores que atenderam crianças com nível de ansiedade médio ou alto relataram nível de estresse alto (p= 0,043) e em pacientes com dor, o nível de estresse da maioria dos operadores foi considerado alto (75%) (p=0,001). Conclusão: as características das crianças influenciaram no estresse apresentado pelo aluno operador durante o atendimento odontológico infantil. Crianças ansiosas, não colaboradoras e que estavam sentindo dor durante o atendimento deixaram o operador mais estressado.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the characteristics of children and the stress presented by undergraduate dentistry students during pediatric dental care. Materials and Methods: Participants were 48 children aged between 6 to 10 years old and 37 volunteer students from the 7th, 8th and 9th semesters of a Dentistry course. A questionnaire on socioeconomic aspects was carried out and data on behavior, perception of pain and anxiety of the child and the guardian were also collected. Also, data related to undergraduate students were collected: sex, semester, stress level, type of procedure performed. Absolute and relative frequencies were obtained through descriptive data analysis. Comparisons in the outcomes of interest were made using the chi-square test for dichotomous and categorical variables, linear by linear test for ordinal variable, and Fisher's exact test for counts less than 5. A significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: The results showed that students who assisted non-cooperative children reported a high level of stress (83.33%) (p<0.001). Students who assisted children with medium or high levels of anxiety reported high levels of stress. (p=0.043) and in patients with pain, the students' stress level was considered high (75%) (p=0.001). Conclusion: The characteristics of the children influenced the stress presented by the student during child dental care. Anxious children, noncooperative and who were in pain during care left the student more stressed.

RESUMEN: El año 2020, la pandemia por COVID-19 forzó a que toda la docencia universitaria se dictase de forma telemática, lo que incluye la enseñanza de anatomía humana. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la percepción de los alumnos con respecto a los recursos digitales y estrategias activas utilizadas en la versión en línea de la asignatura de anatomía humana. La muestra estuvo constituida por 77 estudiantes de primer año de Odontología que cursaban la asignatura de anatomía. Para la recogida de datos se utilizó un cuestionario de auto aplicación y la realización de tres focus groups con preguntas semi-estructuradas. Los datos cuantitativos se analizaron con estadística descriptiva y los cualitativos mediante teoría fundamentada. El análisis cualitativo determinó 6 categorías relevantes expresadas por los estudiantes: posibilidad de trabajar colaborativamente, espacios de retroalimentación, tipo de información, uso del material, percepción del académico y el factor tiempo. Respecto al análisis cuantitativo, el manual de Anatomía Aplicada para Estudiantes de Odontología fue el recurso digital mejor evaluado (p< 0,005), lo cual fue estadísticamente significativo. Seguido por el atlas 3D de Visible Body como el segundo recurso digital mejor evaluado (p < 0,005). Mientras que el análisis de casos clínicos y la realización de dibujos fueron las estrategias activas mejor evaluadas, las cuales fueron estadísticamente significativas (p< 0,005). El recurso digital más recomendado por los estudiantes fue el manual (30,4 %) seguido por el atlas 3D de Visible Body (28,5 %). La estrategia activa más recomendada fue el rotulado grupal de modelos del manual (37,5 %). Los alumnos perciben positivamente la virtualización de la asigna- tura destacando el rol del docente mediante la retroalimentación y la interacción entre pares.
SUMMARY: In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced all university teaching to be taught online, including the teaching of human anatomy. The objective of this work was to evaluate the students' perception regarding digital resources and active strategies used in the online version of the human anatomy subject. The sample consisted of 77 first-year dentistry students who were studying anatomy. For data collection, a self-application questionnaire and three focus groups with semi-structured questions were used. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and qualitative data using grounded theory. The qualitative analysis determined 6 relevant categories expressed by the students: possibility of working collaboratively, feedback spaces, type of information, use of the material, perception of the academic and the time factor. Regarding the quantitative analysis, the manual of Applied Anatomy for Dentistry Students was the best evaluated digital resource (p<0.005), which was statistically significant. It was followed by the Visible Body 3D atlas as the second best evaluated digital resource (p < 0.005). While the analysis of clinical cases and the making of drawings were the best evaluated active strategies, they were statistically significant (p<0.005). The most recommended digital resource by the students, was the manual (30.4%) followed by the Visible Body 3D atlas (28.5 %). The most recommended active strategy was group labeling of manual models (37.5 %). Students positively perceive the virtualization of the subject, highlighting the role of the teacher through feedback and peer interaction.

This study aimed to evaluate smartphone addiction, sleep quality, quality of life and depression among dental students before and during the first wave COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and explore how smartphone addiction influences the other variables. 57 dental students answered the smartphone addiction inventory, Pittsburg sleep quality index, WHOQOL-bref and research diagnosis criteria for temporomandibular disorders axis II questionnaires before and during lockdown. Statistical analysis was conducted using Wilcoxon test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman tests and linear regression models considering the smartphone addiction inventory total score as the independent variable. The high mean scores on smartphone addiction on both times are remarkable. The smartphoneaddictionprevalence was also high on both times (68.66% and 71.92% respectively). Overall sleep quality improved. However, there was no significant change on overall smartphone addiction, quality of life and depression grade during lockdown. Tolerance using smartphones increased during lockdown, especially for women. Smartphone addiction showed negative correlation to quality of life and positive correlation to depression, subjective sleep quality and sleep medication use. Smartphone addiction was apredictor to total WHOQOL-bref score, all WHOQOL-bref domains, sleep medication use and to depression on both times, before and during lockdown. Smartphone addiction was directly affecting quality of life. Despite the growing smartphone use among university students due to the pandemic restrictions, this study showed that the overall smartphone addiction, quality of life and depression grade were not influenced by the lockdown restrictions. However, it was observed an improvement on sleep quality during this period among dental students (AU).
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o vício emsmartphones, qualidade de vida, qualidade de sono e depressão em estudantes de odontologia antes e durante a quarentena daprimeira onda da pandemia por COVID-19. 57 estudantes de odontologia responderam nos dois tempos os questionários validados:smartphone addiction inventory, índice de qualidade de sono de Pittsburg, WHOQOL-bref e critérios para diagnóstico em pesquisa dasdisfunções temporomandibulares eixo II. Foram realizados os testes estatísticos: Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U, Spearman e regressões lineares considerando o total do smartphone addiction inventorycomo variável independente. A prevalência de vício em smartphonesfoi elevada nos dois tempos (68.66% e 71.92% respectivamente). Durante a quarentena a qualidade de sono melhorou e não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa no vício em smartphones, qualidade de vida nem depressão. A tolerância no uso dossmartphonesaumentou, especialmente entre as mulheres. O vício em smartphonesapresentou correlação negativa com qualidade de vida e positiva com a depressão, qualidade subjetiva do sono e necessidade de medicação hipnótica. O vício em smartphonesfoi preditor para todos os domínios do WHOQOL-bref e seu escore total, para o uso de medicação e depressão em ambos os tempos. O vício em smartphonesfoi muito elevado nos dois tempos afetando a qualidade de vida dos estudantes. Apesar do aumento do uso desmartphonesem virtude das restrições impostas pela pandemia, esse estudo mostrou que o vício em smartphones, qualidade de vida e depressão não foram influenciados pela quarentena. Entretanto, foi observada melhora na qualidade de sono durante esse período (AU).

This study aimed to measure the levels of depression, anxiety and stress among dental students during the COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning.This cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted at a Brazilian school of Dentistry, between July and August, 2020. The participants were surveyed using the adapted and validated version of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) questionnaire. The Fisher's exact test and bivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the data, using SPSS software. A total of 120 dental students (response rate of 87.60%) participated in the study; 75.8% of them were female and the mean age was 23.35 years old (± 6.07). Most students were single (85%), studied full time (68.3%) and had no employment (70.8%). Some level of depression, anxiety and stress was observed in 64.2%, 67.5% and 61.7% of the students, respectively. The severity of the depression, the anxiety and the stress was significantly associated (p < 0.05) with the student's gender, fear of contracting COVID-19 and with thecondition of having a family member who has already had COVID-19. Female students, students who were fear of contracting COVID-19 and who had a familiar or a friend diagnosed with COVID-19 presented more chances of developing a high level of depression, anxiety or stress.We concluded thatdental students had high levels of depression, anxiety and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning. This study suggests that the mental health of dental students should be carefully monitored during theCOVID-19 pandemic (AU).
Este estudo teve como objetivo mensurar os níveis de depressão, ansiedade e estresse entre estudantes de Odontologia durante a pandemia da COVID-19 e o ensino à distância. Esta pesquisa transversal, realizada por meio de um questionário on-line, foi realizada em uma Faculdade de Odontologia do Brasil, entre julho e agosto de 2020. Os participantes foram avaliados por meio da versão adaptada e validada do questionário Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse (DASS-21). Para análise dos dados foram realizados o Teste Exato de Fisher e a Análise de Regressão Logística Bivariada, por meio do software SPSS. Participaram do estudo 120 estudantes de odontologia (taxa de resposta de 87.60%). Destes, 75.8% deles eram do sexo feminino e a média de idade foi de 23,35 anos (± 6,07). A maioria dos alunos era solteira (85,0%), estudava em tempo integral (68,3%) e não tinha vínculo empregatício (70,8%). Algum nível de depressão, ansiedade e estresse foi observado em 64,2%, 67,5% e 61,7% dos alunos, respectivamente. As gravidades da depressão, da ansiedade e do estresse estiveram significativamente associadas (p <0.05) ao sexo do aluno, ao medo de contrair a COVID-19 e à condição de ter um membro da família que já teve a COVID-19. Estudantes do sexo feminino, estudantes com medo de contrair a COVID-19 e que tiveram um familiar ou amigo com diagnóstico de COVID-19 apresentaram maiores chances de desenvolver um alto nível de depressão, ansiedade ou estresse. Concluímos que os estudantes de odontologia apresentaram altos níveis de depressão, ansiedade e estresse durante a pandemia da COVID-19 e o ensino à distância. Este estudo sugere que a saúde mental dos estudantes de odontologia deve ser monitorada cuidadosamente durante a pandemia da COVID-19 (AU).

This study aimed to analyze Facebook's use as a pedagogical tool for teaching didactics for graduate students in Dentistry. Seventy-two adult students participated in this study. These students attended theoretical classes, developed practical activities by Facebook, and evaluated the course through a questionnaire. Tasks were analyzed concerning the following criteria: time torespond to assignments and whether they have been finished or not. Additionally, post type and students' reactions to posts were also evaluated. Forty-three (59.8%) students have considered Facebook as a good pedagogical resource. Only 5 (22%) students answered that they had some difficulty in responding to the assignments of the course through Facebook. Most students completed their tasks through Facebook. However, in general, most students only fulfilled the assignments close to the deadline. The main reactions of the students were likes and comments. Despite its limitations, Facebook seems to be a great pedagogical resource to be inserted in post-graduate education. In addition, the students still show little participation even being in the virtual environment of Facebook (AU).
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a utilização do Facebook como ferramenta pedagógica para o ensino de didática para alunos de graduação em Odontologia. Setenta e dois alunos adultos participaram da pesquisa. Esses alunos participaram de aulas teóricas, desenvolveram atividades práticas no Facebook e avaliaram o curso por meio de um questionário. As tarefas foram analisadas em relação aos seguintes critérios: tempo para responder às atividades e se elas foram realizadas de forma completa ou incompleta. Além disso, os tipos de postagens e as reações dos alunos às postagens também foram avaliados. Quarenta e três (59,8%) alunos consideraram o Facebook um bom recurso pedagógico. Apenas 5 (22%) alunos responderam que tiveram alguma dificuldade em responder às atividades do curso pelo Facebook. A maioria dos alunos concluiu suas tarefas por meio do Facebook. No entanto, em geral, a maioria dos alunos só cumpriu astarefas perto do prazo. As principais reações dos alunos foram curtidas e comentários. Apesar de suas limitações, o Facebook parece ser um grande recurso pedagógico a ser inserido na pós-graduação. Além disso, os alunos ainda se mostram pouco participativos mesmo estando no ambiente virtual do Facebook (AU).

The aim of this study wastoanalyse the acceptance of technology by professors and the adherence of dental students to virtual teachingduring the social distancing period due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. This was a retrospective observational cross-sectional study that involved the anonymous opinion of dental schoolprofessors. After each virtual class, the professorsfilled out the e-questionnaire aboutthe remote activities(discipline identification, method used, number of students, satisfaction of the professor, and a technology acceptance model questionnaire) performed between 18 March and 18 May (60 days of virtualisation of theoretical classes during interruption of face-to-face classes). This study showed a good acceptability of this learning technologyby professors(TAM score 81.82 ± 11.79). During the pandemic, live video conferencing classes (n = 632, 63.6%) were the most preferred method of teachingby professors, followed by previously recorded video lessons (n = 403, 40.5%). Theacceptability of professors was strongly associated with the perception of the quality of interaction (p <0.001).Higherstudentparticipation was significantly associated with live videoconference classes (p = 0.019).Prioravailability of articles or documents for study (p = 0.028)andthe absence of technological complications during the virtual classes (p = 0.003)significantly increased acceptability.In conclusion, the virtual class technology usedduring the COVID-19pandemic period was well accepted by professors at a dental school and had good adherence by students, especially in videoconferencing classes (AU).
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a aceitação da tecnologia por professores e a adesão dos alunos de odontologia ao ensino virtual durante o período de distanciamento social devido à pandemia do coronavírus (COVID-19). Este foi um estudo transversal observacional retrospectivo que envolveu a opinião anônima de professores de escolasde odontologia. Após cada aula virtual, os professores preencheram um questionário sobre as atividades remotas (identificação da disciplina, método utilizado, número de alunos, satisfação do professor e questionário do modelo de aceitação de tecnologia) realizado entre 18 de março e 18 de maio (60 dias de virtualização das aulas teóricas durante a interrupção das aulas presenciais). Este estudo mostrou uma boa aceitabilidade desta tecnologia de aprendizagem pelos professores (pontuação TAM 81,82 ± 11,79). Durante a pandemia, aulas de videoconferência ao vivo (n = 632, 63,6%) foram o método de ensino preferido pelos professores, seguido por vídeo aulas previamente gravadas (n = 403, 40,5%). A aceitabilidade dos professores esteve fortemente associada à percepção da qualidade da interação (p <0,001). A maior participação dos alunos foi significativamente associada às aulas de videoconferência (p = 0,019). A disponibilidade prévia de artigos ou documentos para estudo (p = 0,028) e a ausência de complicações tecnológicas durante as aulas virtuais (p = 0,003) aumentaram significativamente a aceitabilidade. Concluindo, a tecnologia da aula virtual usada durante o período pandêmico do COVID-19 foi bem aceita pelos professores de uma faculdade de odontologia e teve boa aderência dos alunos, principalmente nas aulas de videoconferência (AU).

O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi analisar a percepção dosestudantesde graduação do último ano do Curso de Odontologia da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (FOUSP) em relação ao processo de mentoring. A amostra foi de 122 estudantes que estavam matriculados na disciplina de Gestão e Planejamento daFOUSP, os quais foram divididos em grupos de 8 integrantese, durante o semestre, as reuniões de tutoria eram realizadas pelos pós-graduandos, para debater questões pessoais e profissionais. Ao final do semestre os estudantes responderam a um questionário sobreoprocesso dementoringrealizado e a respeito de pontos positivos e negativos da disciplina. O treinamento dos tutores foi realizado no semestre anterior, juntamente com um estudo piloto com 20 graduandos. Foi realizada uma análise de correspondência para a avaliação da disciplina com o mentoringe uma análisequantitativa textual por meio do softwareIramuteq para avaliação das respostas da questão aberta. Dos estudantes incluídos, 96,7% participaram da pesquisa.Quanto àavaliação da disciplina, 55,1% dos respondentes aconsideraram boa e 33,9%como ótima. Em relação ao processo de mentoring, 62,7% consideraram ótimo e 32,2% bom. Quando questionados quais eram os pontos positivos da disciplina, 48,3% dos estudantes destacaram a tutoria. Ao verificar a coocorrência e conectividade das palavras, foi constatada uma forte relação entre os termos reunião, grupo, aluno e futuro. Diante disso, é possível concluir que a percepção do aluno de graduação é positiva em relação ao processo de mentoring, no qual além de ser um processo de instrução, serve também de apoio para o aluno do último ano (AU).
This study aimed to analyze the perception of graduate students in the last year of the Dentistry Course at the University of São Paulo School of Dentistry (FOUSP) ofthe mentoring process implemented in the discipline of Management and Planning. The sample comprised 122 students enrolled in the Management and Planning discipline at FOUSP. During mentoring, students were divided into groups of eight members, and tutoring meetings were held by post-graduate students to discuss personal and professional issues. At the end of the semester, students answered a questionnaire about the mentoring process and the positive and negative aspects of the discipline. Tutors were trained in the previous semesteralongsidea pilot study with 20 graduate students. A correspondence analysis was conducted to evaluate the discipline, and a quantitative textual analysis using the Iramuteq software was used to assess the responsesto the open questions. Approximately 97% of the students participated in the survey. The majority rated the discipline as good (55.1%) and excellent (33.9%). Regarding the mentoring process, 62.7% considered the activities excellent and 32.2% good. When asked about the strengths of the discipline, 48.3% of students highlighted tutoring. When verifying the co-occurrence and connectivity of the words, a strong relationship was found between the terms "meeting," "group," "student," and "future." Thus, graduate students' perception ofthe mentoring processis positive, which in addition to being aninstructional process,also serves as support for the final year at the university (AU).

Casos de bruxismo e disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) têm se tornado cada vez mais frequentes na prática clínica. Reconhecer seus mecanismos é necessário para o sucesso do controle e tratamento. O objetivo deste estudo piloto foi investigar o conhecimento e a percepção sobre DTM e bruxismo dos estudantesde Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM). Para isso um questionário com 15 questões foi aplicado a20 estudantes dessa instituição, sendo 10 do 7º e 10 do 10º semestre. Todos os estudantes avaliados relataram ouvir sobre DTM durante a graduação, mas 70% consideraram que possuíam pouca ou nenhuma base de conhecimento sobre o assunto. Noventa por cento dos estudantes relatou não conhecer a ferramenta utilizada em pesquisas para diagnóstico das DTM. Não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos avaliados e a média geral de acertos foi de 54%. Os dados evidenciam o pouco conhecimento sobre os assuntos abordados e a fragilidade do ensino destas alterações, especialmente pela não evolução do conhecimento sobre DTM e bruxismo ao longo do curso avaliado, pois o grupo de estudantes do 10º semestre apresentou resultados inferiores quando comparados ao do 7º semestre, que passaram recentemente pela Clínica de Oclusão, na qual os temas são abordados (AU).
Bruxism and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have become increasingly frequent in clinical practice. Recognizing its mechanisms is necessary for successful management and treatment. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the knowledge and perception about TMD and bruxism of dental undergraduate students from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). A questionnaire with 15 questions was applied to 20 students from this institution, 10 from the 7th and 10 from the 10th semester. All evaluated students reported hearing about TMD during the Dentistry course, but 70% considered that they had little or no knowledge on the subject. Ninety percent of students reported not knowing the instrument used in research to diagnose TMD. There was no statisticaldifference between the evaluated groups, and the overall average of correct answers was 54%. Data show little knowledge about the subjects and fragility regarding the teaching-learning process of these topics. Moreover, the non-evolution of knowledge about TMD and bruxism throughout the evaluated course is evident, as the group of students in the 10th semester showed poorer results when compared to the 7th semester, which have recently finished the discipline in which these themes are addressed (AU).

Os maus-tratos (MT) na infância têm grandes repercussões na vida da criança. Os profissionais de saúde têm a responsabilidade legal de notificar os casos suspeitos. Para tanto, é necessário o conhecimento sobre diagnóstico e condutas frente aos MT. Este estudo observacional transversal teve por objetivo avaliar o conhecimentoe a percepçãodos acadêmicos do curso de Odontologia sobre MT infantis. Um questionário semiestruturado contendo questões sobre características demográficas, percepção e conhecimento quanto aos MT foi aplicado pelo Google Forms. O escore de conhecimento foi calculado pela soma de acertos, variando de 0 a 14 pontos. Os dados obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente de formadescritiva e inferencial. O escore de conhecimento foi analisado em relação às características por meio do teste U de Mann-Whitney ou correlação de Spearman, com nível de significância de 5%. Um total de 146 acadêmicos (30,41%) participaram da pesquisa, amediana obtida foi 10 (Min-6 Máx-14). Quanto àdefinição de MT, 98,6% (n=144) dos acadêmicos afirmaram conhecê-la e54,3% (n=75) relataram ter recebido informações sobre o tema em aula. Quanto àconduta, 49% (n =71) alegaram não saber agir frente aos casos de MT. Houve correlação positiva significativaentre o escore de conhecimento e os períodos curriculares. Conclui-se que alguns aspectos dotemaMT, como o diagnóstico, são bem conhecidos pelos acadêmicos, porém os aspectos relacionados àconduta sãopoucos conhecidos. Conclui-se também que o escore de conhecimento foi maior nos estágios mais avançados do curso.Quanto às percepções, notou-se insegurança dos acadêmicos em agir frente aos casos de MT na infância (AU).
Child abuse (CA) has a negative impact on a child's development, and health care professionals have a legal obligation to report suspected cases. Therefore, knowledge regarding the diagnosis of CA and the appropriate professional's actions to address CA is necessary. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the knowledge and perceptions of dental students in Paraná, Brazil, regarding CA. A semi-structured questionnaire addressing participants' demographic characteristics, perceptions, and knowledge about CA was administered using Google Forms. Knowledge score was calculated as the sum of correct responses, ranging from 0 to 14 points. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Knowledge score was analyzed in terms of participant characteristics using the Mann Whitney U test or Spearman correlation test; the level of significance was 5%. A total of 146 dental students (30.41% response rate) participated in the study. The median knowledge score was 10 (range, 614). Of these dental students, 98.6% reported knowing the definition of CA, and 54.3% (n=75) reported having received information about the topic in classes. Regarding professional's actions, 49% (n=71) reported not knowing what measures to take in a suspected caseof CA. A significant positive correlation was observed between knowledge scores and curricular period. It was concluded that students had adequate knowledge to diagnose CA; however, aspects related to appropriate professional's actions remain unclear. Furthermore, knowledge scores were higher in the advanced stages of the dental curricula. Regarding perceptions, dental students appeared to be insecure with taking action in a case of suspected CA (AU).

Oobjetivo desta pesquisafoi avaliar os estudantes de uma faculdade pública de Odontologia localizada no Brasil, no que diz respeito à ansiedade e depressão, relacionando os escores de cada transtorno com as características pessoais, acadêmicas, e socioeconômicas dos discentes. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, no qual participaram 423 estudantes de Odontologia. Foram entregues três instrumentos de avaliação a serem preenchidos, sendo eles o Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck (BAI), Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI), e um questionário para registro do perfil de cada estudante.Os testes de Mann Whitney e Kruskal Wallis foram utilizados para comparação dos escores entre os grupos.Ovalor médio dos escores de ansiedade e depressão foram, respectivamente,15,21±10,78 e 12,08±8,38. Ser calouro, não praticar atividades físicas, ser ateu ou agnóstico, utilizar redes sociais por mais de três horas diárias, vontade de desistir da Odontologia em algum momento do curso, ter procurado ajuda psicológicaprofissionaldurante o curso e ter baixa renda foram considerados fatores que resultaram em escores mais elevados de ansiedade e depressão nos universitários.Asintomatologia de depressão e ansiedade foi verificada nos discentes, sendo que características pessoais e acadêmicas podeminfluenciar em sua saúde mental (AU).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the students of a public dental school located in Brazil, regarding anxiety and depression, relating the scores of each disorder withthe students' personal, academic, and socioeconomic characteristics. This is a cross-sectional study in which 423 dental students participated. Three assessment instruments were submitted to be completed, namely the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and a questionnaire to record the profile of each student. Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests were used to compare scores between groups. The average value of anxiety and depression scores were, respectively, 15.21± 10.78 and 12.08± 8.38. Being freshman, not practicing physical activities, being atheist or agnostic, using social networks for more than three hours a day, willingness to give up dentistry at some point of the course, having sought psychological help from professionals during the course, and having low income, were factors that resulted in higher scores for anxiety and depression in college students. The symptoms of depression and anxiety were verified in the students, and personal and academic characteristics can influence their mental health (AU).

Objetivo: Describir una experiencia de capacitación de alumnos de grado en la evaluación radiográfica de tratamientos endodónticos realizados ex vivo. Material y métodos: Participaron un docente y 13 alumnos, cada uno de los cuales evaluó radiográficamente 100 tratamientos endodónticos realizados ex vivo para determinar si estos eran correctos o incorrectos. Posteriormente, el mismo docente, en una clase teórica, presentó a los alumnos otras imágenes radiográficas a fin de calibrar qué debería considerarse correcto o incorrecto. Luego fueron proyectadas nuevamente las radiografías de los 100 casos, y los alumnos efectuaron una nueva valoración. Para cada alumno, se determinó la frecuencia de concordancia con el docente en los 100 casos, antes y después de la calibración. Se categorizó cada observación como sin cambio, positiva (precalibración sin concordancia y poscalibración con concordancia) y negativa (precalibración con concordancia y poscalibración sin concordancia). En cada caso se calcularon la frecuencia para cada categoría, la frecuencia de concordancia entre cada alumno y el docente antes y después de la calibración, y la diferencia entre frecuencias. Resultados: La frecuencia absoluta de casos con concordancia alumno/docente sin cambios fue entre 65 y 85; con cambio positivo, entre 14 y 29; y con cambio negativo, entre 1 y 8. La concordancia antes y después de la calibración resultó entre 37% y 79,2%. Conclusión: La calibración mejoró parcialmente la capacitación de los alumnos para la evaluación radiográfica de los tratamientos endodónticos (AU)
Aim: To describe one experience of calibration in the radiographic evaluation of 100 endodontic treatments performed ex vivo in undergraduate students. Material and methods: One professor and 13 undergraduate students participated in this study, who independently radiographically evaluated 100 ex vivo endodontic treatments and determined whether each case was correct or incorrect. Later, the same professor presented a theoretical class to the students with other radiographic images in order to calibrate the difference between correct and incorrect treatments. Then the radiographs of the same 100 cases were projected and the students made a new evaluation. The frequency of agreement with the teacher was determined for each student in the 100 cases before and after the calibration. Each observation was categorized as without change, with positive change (pre-calibration without agreement and post-calibration with agreement) and with negative change (pre-calibration with agreement and post-calibration without agreement). The frequency for each category was calculated for each student. In each of the cases, the frequency of students in which concordances with the teacher were observed before and after calibration, and the difference between both frequencies were calculated. Results: The absolute frequency of cases with agreement of the students/teacher without changes varied between 65 and 85, with a positive change between 14 and 29 and a negative change between 1 and 8. The concordance before and after calibration varied between 37.0% and 79.2%. Conclusion: Calibration partially improved the training of students in radiographic evaluation of endodontic treatments (AU)
