Resumo: This study aimed to apply usability and utility tests to the Dental Trauma application (app), available for free in Portuguese on the App Store and Play Store. Students and dentists participated in the study (n = 20). The System Usability Scale (SUS) test was used for usability analysis, and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) test, adapted to the dental trauma context, was used for utility analysis. The Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare SUS scores between students and dentists, and the Spearman test was used to correlate utility questions. The SUS score at the 50th percentile was 83.75. Scores above 68 are classified as acceptable. The Mann-Whitney test did not show a significant difference in the SUS score when analyzing dentists and dental students separately (p = 0.442). The app was widely evaluated as useful (95% to 100%), with robust, positive, and significant correlations observed between responses to each question. However, it does not cover traumas in deciduous teeth, presenting an opportunity for updating or developing other apps. The Dental Trauma app fulfilled both usability and usefulness criteria, garnering an "excellent" rating in its outcomes. Users acknowledged its utility as a valuable technological tool aiding professionals in diagnosis, management, and comprehension of dental trauma-related concepts.

Participaron en el estudio estudiantes de odontología y Odontólogos (n = 20). Se utilizó la Escala de Usabilidad del Sistema (System Usability Scale - SUS) para el análisis de usabilidad y el Modelo de Aceptación de Tecnología (TAM), adaptado al contexto de la investigación, para el análisis de utilidad. Se aplicó la prueba de Mann-Whitney para comparar los puntajes SUS entre estudiantes y dentistas, y la prueba de Spearman para correlacionar preguntas de utilidad. El puntaje SUS en el percentil 50 fue de 83,75. Los puntajes por encima de 68 se clasifican como aceptables. La prueba de Mann-Whitney no mostró una diferencia significativa en el puntaje SUS al analizar por separado a los Odontólogos y estudiantes de odontología (p = 0,442). La aplicación fue ampliamente evaluada como útil (95% a 100%), observándose correlaciones robustas, positivas y significativas entre las respuestas a cada pregunta. Sin embargo, no aborda traumas en dientes deciduos, lo que representa una oportunidad para actualizar o desarrollar otras aplicaciones. La app Dental Trauma cumplió con los requisitos de usabilidad y utilidad, logrando resultados calificados como “excelentes”. Los usuarios reconocieron que se trata de una tecnología útil que puede ayudar a los profesionales en el diagnóstico y manejo y en la comprensión de conceptos relacionados con el traumatismo dental.O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a usabilidade e a utilidade do aplicativo (app) Dental Trauma, disponível gratuitamente e em português nas lojas App Store e Play Store. Participaram do estudo estudantes de Odontologia e Cirurgiões-dentistas (CDs)  (n = 20). Utilizou-se o teste de Escala de Usabilidade do Sistema (System Usability Scale - SUS) para análise da usabilidade e o teste de Aceitação de Tecnologia (Technology Acceptance Model - TAM) adaptado ao contexto da pesquisa para a análise da utilidade. Foi aplicado o teste de Mann-Whitney para comparar o escore SUS entre estudantes e CDs e o teste de Spearman para correlacionar as questões da utilidade. A pontuação SUS no percentil 50 foi de 83,75. Valores acima de 68 são classificados como aceitáveis. O teste de Mann-Whitney não evidenciou diferença significativa na pontuação SUS ao analisar separadamente CDs e estudantes de Odontologia (p = 0,442). O app foi amplamente avaliado como útil (95% a 100%), sendo observadas correlações robustas, positivas e significas entre as respostas para cada questão. O app não contempla traumatismos em dentes decíduos, sendo uma oportunidade de atualização ou desenvolvimento de outros apps. O app Dental Trauma atendeu aos requisitos de usabilidade e utilidade, alcançando resultados classificados como “excelente”. Os usuários reconheceram se tratar de uma tecnologia útil que pode auxiliar o profissional no diagnóstico e conduta e na compreensão dos conceitos relacionados ao traumatismo dentário. Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico2024-04-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/220310.30979/revabeno.v24i1.2203Revista da ABENO; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2024); 2203 Revista da ABENO; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2024); 2203 Revista da ABENO; v. 24 n. 1 (2024); 2203 2595-02741679-5954reponame:Revista da ABENO (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)instacron:ABENOporenghttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/2203/1430https://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/2203/1431http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAbuabara, Allan Nascimento, Thais Vilalba Paniagua Machado doLima, Ludmylla Gomes deEspindola, Mariana de OliveiraAraújo, Cristiano Miranda deBaratto Filho, Flares2024-04-18T19:39:12Zoai:ojs.revabeno.emnuvens.com.br:article/2203Revistahttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/indexONGhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/oairevabeno@gmail.com2595-02741679-5954opendoar:2024-04-18T19:39:12Revista da ABENO (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)false
