RESUMO
El Tratamiento Restaurador Atraumático (ART) está ampliamente difundido en aquellas zonas donde no se puede realizar odontología con técnica rotatoria convencional y existen varias universidades que imparten cursos deART, basadas principalmente en la estructura de módulos propuesta por Frencken. Este estudio tiene como objetivo realizar una evaluación de los cursos ART impartidos por la Universidad de Concepción (UdeC) en sus versiones 2007 y 2008. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo sobre el Universo de 40 participantes en los años mencionados, en los que se evaluó: cumplimiento de los objetivos educacionales, contenido del curso, secuencia de los módulos, duración y calidad del material didáctico y de enseñanza. Los resultados muestran favorables resultados, que mejoraron el segundo año: 70.5 por ciento a 89.5 por ciento para un muy buen cumplimiento de objetivos, 70 por ciento a 77 por ciento para una muy alta utilidad de los contenidos, 85 por ciento a 90 por ciento de una secuencia adecuada, 75 por ciento a 95 por ciento para una duración adecuada y un 66.25 por ciento a 78.75 por ciento en la calidad de la enseñanza. Existe, según la evaluación de los participantes, una adecuada forma en que se imparten los cursos de ART por parte de la UdeC, no existen estudios previos sobre la materia, por lo que es necesario continuar realizando estudios de evaluación.
Atraumatic Restorative Treatment is widespread in areas where dental treatments are impossible with rotating technique, and there are several universities offering ART courses, based mainly on the structure of modules proposed by Frencken. This study aims to conduct an evaluation of the ART courses offered by University of Concepcion (UdeC) in their 2007 and 2008 versions. We conducted a descriptive study on the Universe of 40 participants in those years, which was evaluated on: implementing the educational objectives, course contents, sequence of modules, duration and quality of learning materials and teaching. The results show favorable results, which improved in the second year: 70.5 percent to 89.5 percent fora very good achievement of educational objectives, 70 percent to 77 percent at a very high utility of the contents, 85 percent to 90 percent of properly sequence of modules, 75 percent to 95 percent for adequate duration and 66.25 to 78.75 percent in the quality of teaching. There is therefore, in participants evaluations, an adequate way in that ART courses are taught by the UdeC, unfortunately there are no previous studies on this subject and is necessary to conduct further studies that address it.

The effect of a comprehensive oral care and oral education field programme on the oral health status of secondary school scholars was tested in Morogoro; Tanzania. The programmes were carried out by dental students. After 22 months; the mean DMFS increment score was higher for the control group than for the two test groups; but the difference observed was not statistically significant. The final examination after 4 years could not be carried out
