RESUMO
Investigou-se o conhecimento de cirurgiões-dentistas acerca dos aspectos ético-legais envolvidos na manipulação e descarte de elementos dentários humanos extraídos. Utilizou-se um questionário semiestruturado, enviado eletronicamente para cirurgiões-dentistas. Asperguntas objetivas foram analisadas pela estatística descritiva e as subjetivas peloDiscurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Dos 208 cirurgiões-dentistasrespondentes, 78,4% reconheceram o elemento dentário como órgão, 98,6% afirmaram ter utilizadodentes humanos para treinamento laboratoriale pesquisa na graduaçãoe pós-graduação, 42,4% obtiveramesses dentesem unidades de saúde, 28,3% em consultórios odontológicos, 22% na instituição de ensino e 2,4% através de compra. Sinalizou-se a doação por unidades de saúdee consultórios odontológicos como forma ideal para aquisição dos dentes (72,11%). Apesar de 75,5% afirmarem conhecer a regulamentação específica, issonão se refletiu nas demais questõesavaliadas. Quanto ao risco biológico na manipulação dos dentes, 88,9% consideraram existir e a análise qualitativa das respostas gerou as categorias "contaminação" e "infecção cruzada". Já sobre a finalidade do Banco de Dentes, 59,6% declararam conhecê-las, emergindo categorias como "ensino e pesquisa" e "comércio ilegal". A despeito desse conhecimento, apenas 43,3% indicaram estar totalmente dispostos a se vinculara um Banco de Dentes para doação.Conclui-se que existe pouco conhecimento quanto aos aspectos ético-legais envolvidos na manipulaçãoe descarte de dentes humanos extraídose que essa insciência se reflete na baixa intenção em se vincular às atividades de um futuro Banco de Dentes instalado no município pesquisado (AU).
ABSTRACT
It was intended to investigate the knowledge of dental surgeons about the ethical and legal aspects involved in the handling and disposal of extracted human teeth. A semi-structured questionnaire was used, sent electronically to dental surgeons. The objective questions were analyzed by descriptive statistics and the subjective ones by Collective Subject Discourse. Of the 208 dental surgeons who answered the questionnaire, 78.4% recognized the dental element as an organ, 98.6% stated that they used human teeth for laboratory training and research during graduation and post-graduation, 42.4% obtained these teeth in health units, 28.3% in dental offices, 22% in teaching institution and 2.4% through purchase. Donation by health units and dental offices was signaled as the ideal way to acquire the teeth (72.11%). Although 75.5% claimed to know the specific regulation, this was not reflected in the other questions evaluated. As for the biological risk in handling teeth, 88.9% considered it existed and the qualitative analysis of the answers generated the categories "contamination" and "cross infection". As for the purpose of the Tooth Bank, 59.6% said they knew it, and categories such as "teaching and research" and "illegal trade" emerged. Despite this knowledge, only 43.3% indicated that they were totally willing to join a tooth bank for donation. It is concluded that there is little knowledge about the ethical-legal aspects involvedin the handling and disposal of extracted human teeth and that this unawareness is reflected in the low intention of joining the activities of a future Tooth Bank installed in the researched municipality (AU).
