Resumo: This study aimed to identify the facilities and difficulties experienced by students in a practical activity of age estimation proposed by the Forensic Dentistry curse, checking their perception regarding functionality and or importance of the activity in their academic training. This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative and analytical approach. During a practical activity of the Forensic Dentistry curse at Federal University of Paraíba, a questionnaire was applied with open and closed questions about the facilities and difficulties experienced in the application of an age estimation method. Besides, the perception of students regarding the functionality and importance of the activity was asked. The sample (n = 52) was composed of students enrolled in the Forensic Dentistry discipline in two consecutive academic periods (2014/2 and 2015/1), which participated in the practical activity. Data were descriptively analyzed. The option "Excellent" was the most cited in three of the four criteria evaluated. As positive points, applicability (19.0%), content (17.2%), relevance for professional training (12.1%) and practicability (12.1%) stood out. The negative points and difficulties found were the method´s subjectivity (25.0%), poor quality of radiographic projections (18.2%), restricted applicability to children and adolescents (9.1%) and need for a previous study (9.1%). In conclusion, the practical activity of age estimation contributed to the students´ training, and the method applicability was the positive point most often cited, while the method´s subjectivity was the main difficulty experienced by undergraduate students.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo aplicada, quantitativa, exploratória, documental e analítica, do tipo transversal. Durante uma atividade prática da disciplina de Odontologia Legal da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, aplicou-se um questionário com perguntas abertas e fechadas acerca das facilidades e dificuldades vivenciadas na aplicação de um método de estimativa de idade e da percepção dos alunos quanto a funcionalidade e importância da atividade. A amostra (n=52) foi composta pelos alunos matriculados na disciplina de Odontologia Legal nos períodos letivos 2014/2 e 2015/1, que participaram da atividade prática. Os dados foram analisados descritivamente. A opção ”Excelente” foi maioria em três dos quatro critérios avaliados. Como pontos positivos, destacaram-se a aplicabilidade (19,0%), fixação do conteúdo (17,2%), relevância para formação profissional (12,1%) e praticabilidade (12,1%). Como pontos negativos e dificuldades encontradas foram ressaltadas a subjetividade do método em estudo (25,0%), a má qualidade das projeções radiográficas (18,2%), a restrição de aplicação do método a crianças e adolescentes (9,1%) e a necessidade de estudo prévio (9,1%). Em conclusão, a atividade prática de estimativa de idade contribuiu para a formação profissional dos alunos, sendo a aplicabilidade do método o ponto positivo mais frequentemente apontado, enquanto a subjetividade do mesmo se constituiu na maior dificuldade vivenciada pelos graduandos.Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico2016-07-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/26710.30979/rev.abeno.v16i2.267Revista da ABENO; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2016); 83-92Revista da ABENO; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2016); 83-92Revista da ABENO; v. 16 n. 2 (2016); 83-922595-02741679-5954reponame:Revista da ABENO (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)instacron:ABENOporhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/267/223Copyright (c) 2016 Revista da ABENOinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNóbrega, Johnys Berton MedeirosCosta, Raphael CavalcanteLima, Laíse Nascimento CorreiaRabello, Patrícia MoreiraValença, Ana Maria GondimSantiago, Bianca Marques2016-07-13T02:00:16Zoai:ojs.revabeno.emnuvens.com.br:article/267Revistahttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/indexONGhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/oairevabeno@gmail.com2595-02741679-5954opendoar:2023-01-13T09:47:57.067531Revista da ABENO (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)false
