Resumo: Dentistry has recently experienced a sharp decline in the use of amalgam, as a result of the evolution of adhesive materials and techniques and discussions about the risks of mercury contamination. Thus, we sought to identify the perception of dentists about the need to continue teaching amalgam in dentistry courses. This is a cross-sectional study, using a semi-structured questionnaire with aspects related to sociodemographic conditions, training to perform the procedures, knowledge about material management and waste management. The objective responses were analyzed by descriptive statistics and the subjective ones processed in the IRaMuTeQ software. Of the 257 respondents, 60.7% claim to use this material, 91.8% use encapsulated amalgam and 95.7% dispose of waste in hospital waste. Regarding the permanence of the material, 63.4% believe it is necessary and 88% agree that teaching should continue, especially considering the profile of the graduate suggested by the National Curriculum Guidelines. From the subjective data emerged five classes/categories that portray the perception of professionals about cost-benefit ratio, access to service, working conditions and longevity of restorations. It is concluded that, even with the evolution of adhesive materials, amalgam is still necessary, especially in the public service, where the demand for low cost and high longevity restorations is high. Thus, for this sample, as long as there is no mercury-free, inexpensive, easy to handle and durable restorative material, the teaching of this content should remain in undergraduate courses in Dentistry.

Así, buscamos identificar la percepción de los odontólogos sobre la necesidad de continuar enseñando amalgama en los cursos de odontología. Se trata de un estudio transversal utilizando un cuestionario semiestructurado con aspectos relacionados con las condiciones sociodemográficas, capacitación para realizar los procedimientos, conocimientos sobre manejo de materiales y gestión de residuos. Las respuestas objetivas se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva y las respuestas subjetivas se procesaron mediante el software IRaMuTeQ. De los 257 encuestados, el 60,7% afirma utilizar este material, el 91,8% utiliza amalgama encapsulada y el 95,7% desecha los residuos en la basura de hospital. En cuanto a la permanencia del material, el 63,4% cree que es necesario y el 88% está de acuerdo en que la enseñanza debe continuar, sobre todo para la graduación de profesionales que van al servicio público. A partir de los datos subjetivos, surgieron cinco clases/categorías que retratan la percepción de los profesionales sobre la rentabilidad, el acceso al servicio, las condiciones de trabajo y la longevidad de las restauraciones. Se concluye que, aún con la evolución de los materiales adhesivos, la amalgama sigue siendo necesaria, especialmente en el servicio público, donde la demanda de restauraciones de bajo costo y gran longevidad es alta. Así, mientras no exista un material restaurador libre de mercurio, económico, fácil de manejar y duradero, la enseñanza de este contenido debe permanecer en los cursos de graduación en odontología. A Odontologia tem vivenciado, nos últimos tempos, um declínio acentuado do uso do amálgama, em consequência da evolução dos materiais e técnicas adesivas e das discussões acerca dos riscos de contaminação pelo mercúrio. Assim, buscou-se identificar a percepção dos cirurgiões-dentistas sobre a necessidade da continuidade do ensino do amálgama nos cursos de Odontologia. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, usando um questionário semiestruturado com aspectos relativos às condições sociodemográficas, capacitação para executar os procedimentos, conhecimento acerca do manejo do material e gerenciamento dos resíduos. As respostas objetivas foram analisadas pela estatística descritiva e as subjetivas processadas no software IRaMuTeQ. Dos 257 respondentes, 60,7% afirmam utilizar esse material, 91,8% usam amálgama encapsulado e 95,7% descartam os resíduos em lixo hospitalar. Sobre a permanência do material, 63,4% acreditam ser necessária e 88% concordam que o ensino deva continuar sobretudo considerando o perfil do egresso sugerido pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais. Dos dados subjetivos emergiram cinco classes/categorias que retratam a percepção dos profissionais sobre relação custo-benefício, acesso ao serviço, condições de trabalho e longevidade das restaurações. Conclui-se que, mesmo com a evolução dos materiais adesivos, o amálgama ainda é necessário, principalmente no serviço público, onde a demanda por restaurações de baixo custo e grande longevidade é alta. Assim, para essa amostra, enquanto não houver um material restaurador livre de mercúrio, barato, de fácil manuseio e durável, o ensino desse conteúdo deve permanecer nos cursos de graduação em Odontologia.Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico2023-07-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/202110.30979/revabeno.v23i1.2021Revista da ABENO; Vol. 23 No. 1 (2023); 2021Revista da ABENO; Vol. 23 Núm. 1 (2023); 2021Revista da ABENO; v. 23 n. 1 (2023); 20212595-02741679-5954reponame:Revista da ABENO (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)instacron:ABENOporenghttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/2021/1326https://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/2021/1327http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMedeiros, Maria Cristina dos SantosCosta, Iris do Céu ClaraFerreira, Maria Ângela FernandesMedeiros, Flávia Andréia Belarmino de2024-01-23T11:49:33Zoai:ojs.revabeno.emnuvens.com.br:article/2021Revistahttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/indexONGhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/oairevabeno@gmail.com2595-02741679-5954opendoar:2024-01-23T11:49:33Revista da ABENO (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)false
