ABSTRACT
Introdução: De todas as especialidades na Odontologia, uma das mais favorecidas nos últimos anos com o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias tem sido a Endodontia. Objetivo: O presente estudo visou obter informações sobre os aspectos técnicos dos tratamentos endodônticos realizados por cirurgiões-dentistas da Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo (PMESP), dando ênfase aos materiais, técnicas e equipamentos empregados. Métodos: Um questionário com 25 questões de múltipla escolha foi enviado aos 147 dentistas da PMESP, e o critério de inclusão foi que os profissionais realizassem tratamentos endodônticos. Resultados: A análise estatística foi feita por meio do teste qui-quadrado, com p<0,05. Entre os 42 profissionais avaliados, 59,5% eram do sexo masculino, o dique de borracha foi utilizado em 54,8% dos casos, o comprimento de trabalho foi obtido por meio de radiografias em 71,4%, o sensor digital foi utilizado em 28,6%, a magnificação visual foi utilizada em 23,8% e a técnica de condensação lateral foi a mais utilizada, com 90,2%. Outra análise foi realizada com 10 especialistas do Centro Odontológico da PMESP que efetuavam unicamente tratamento endodôntico, sendo que 50% eram do sexo masculino e tratavam mais de 15 casos/mês: o dique de borracha foi utilizado em 80% dos casos; o comprimento de trabalho foi obtido com localizador foraminal em 50% dos casos; o sensor digital foi utilizado em 90%, assim como o motor elétrico; a técnica de condensação lateral foi utilizada em 60% dos casos e o ultrassom, em 20%. Conclusões: Conclui-se que os especialistas utilizaram mais as novas tecnologias, e que o ultrassom e a magnificação visual foram pouco utilizados em ambos os grupos (AU).
Introduction: Of all the specialties in dentistry, one of the most favored in recent years with the development of new technologies has been endodontics. Objective: This study aimed to obtain information on the technical aspects of endodontic treatments performed by dentists from the Military Police of the State of São Paulo, emphasizing the materials, equipment, and techniques used. Methods: A questionnaire with 25 multiple choice questions was sent to 147 dentists from PMESP and the inclusion criterion was professionals who performed endodontic treatment. Results: The statistical analysis was done through the chi-square test, with p< 0.05. The professionals evaluated 59.5% were male, the rubber dam was used in 54.8% of the cases, the working length by means of radiographs was obtained in 71.4%, the digital sensor was used in 28.6%, the visual magnification was used in 23.8% and the lateral condensation technique was the most used with 90.2%. Another analysis was performed with 10 specialists of the Dental Center who performed only endodontic treatment, 50% were male, treated more than 15 cases/month, the rubber dike was used in 80% of the cases, the working length was performed in 50% of the cases by foraminal locator, the digital sensor was used in 90%, as well as the electric motor, the technique of lateral condensation was used in 60% of the cases and ultrasound 20%. Conclusion: It was concluded that the specialists used more new technologies and that the use of ultrasound and visual magnification was little used in both groups (AU).

O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar se os cirurgiões-dentistas, que atuam na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) da Microrregião de Saúde de Viçosa-MG, Brasil, identificariam os problemas bioéticos narrados em um caso fictício apresentado e como lidariam como os mesmos em sua prática profissional. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo quanti-qualitativo, realizado através da aplicação de questionário semiestruturado a 48 odontólogos da microrregião. Foram realizadas (i) análise descritiva e (ii) análise de conteúdo de Laurence Bardin. Resultados: Na situação clínica apresentada, 85,4% dos participantes identificaram algum problema bioético, sendo a quebra de sigilo a mais relatada (59,6%). Entretanto, quando questionados sobre qual atitude tomariam, 50,0% dos entrevistados também quebrariam o sigilo em situação análoga. Conclusão: As dificuldades para o embasamento bioético na tomada de decisão, observadas nesse estudo, reafirmam a necessidade de implementação de ações de educação permanente para auxiliar os profissionais no reconhecimento e na correta deliberação frente aos problemas éticos que ocorrem na APS.
The objective of this study was to analyze if the dentist surgeons working in the Primary Health Care (PHC) of the Health Service of the micro-region of Viçosa-MG, Brazil, would identify the bioethical problems described in the fictitious case presented and how they would deal with them in their professional practice. Methods: The study is quantitative and qualitative, conducted through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire to 48 dentists of the micro-region. A (i) descriptive analysis, and a (ii) content analysis according Laurence Bardin, were performed. Results: In the clinical situation presented, 85.4% of the participants identified a bioethical problem, with breach of confidentiality being the most reported (59.6%), however, when questioned about what their choice would be, 50.0% of the respondents would choose to break confidentiality as well. Conclusion:The lack of a bioethical foundation in decision making, observed in this study, reaffirms the need to implement permanent educational actions to assist these professionals in recognizing and in correctly determining the bioethical problems which eventually occur.
