Resumo: | Composite resin is versatile material for performing several dental procedures in dentistry, and its use has already been consolidated in this field. The clinical success of adhesive restorations is directly related to the knowledge of restorative material properties and light-curing unit factors, among others. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge about the technical characteristics of light-curing devices and the forms of use and maintenance employed by undergraduate dental students. A total of 230 students answered a questionnaire containing six questions on technical data, use, and maintenance of light-curing units. Of the total number of participants, the majority were students from private educational institutions attending the last two years. With 59.1% of them unaware of the ideal irradiance of a light-curing unit, 73.0% were careful to position the light-curing unit as close as possible to the restoration, and 42.6% followed the light-curing time recommended by textbooks and theoretical texts. As for use and maintenance, 50.4% used the protector attached to the light-curing unit, 57.4% used safety barriers, and 63.0% sanitized the light tip after use. The evaluation suggests that student’s knowledge of “light-curing resin materials” is incomplete. Therefore, it can be inferred that the students have a good understanding of biosafety precautions when using light-curing units, but more knowledge is needed about the technical and clinical aspects of the devices. |

O sucesso clínico das restaurações adesivas está diretamente relacionado ao conhecimento das propriedades do material restaurador e dos fatores relacionados à unidade fotoativadora, dentre outros. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento sobre as características técnicas dos aparelhos fotoativadores e as condutas de utilização e manutenção adotadas por estudantes de graduação em Odontologia. Foram entrevistados 230 estudantes que responderam a um questionário com seis perguntas relacionadas aos dados técnicos, ao uso e à manutenção dos aparelhos fotoativadores. Do total de participantes, a maioria era estudantes de instituições privadas de ensino, cursando os últimos dois anos. Com 59,1% os que não conheciam a irradiância ideal para fotoativar uma restauração com resina composta, sendo 73,0% que tomavam o cuidado de posicionar o aparelho fotoativador o mais próximo possível da restauração e 42,6% seguiam o tempo de fotoativação recomendado por livros e textos teóricos. Quanto ao uso e manutenção do aparelho, foram 50,4% que utilizavam o protetor acoplado ao aparelho fotoativador, com 57,4% que empregavam a barreira de segurança e 63,0% higienizavam a ponta óptica após utilização. A avaliação sugere que o conhecimento dos estudantes sobre o tema "fotoativação de materiais resinosos" é incompleto. Sendo assim, infere-se que os estudantes têm boa compreensão acerca dos cuidados de biossegurança com a utilização dos fotoativadores, porém faz-se necessário maior conhecimento sobre os aspectos técnicos e clínicos dos aparelhos.Editora Uningá2024-02-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/452910.46311/2318-0579.61.eUJ4529Revista Uningá; Vol. 61 (2024); eUJ4529Revista Uningá; v. 61 (2024); eUJ45292318-0579reponame:Revista Uningá (Online)instname:Centro Universitário Uningáinstacron:UNINGAporenghttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/4529/2692https://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/4529/2693https://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/4529/2717Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Uningáhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCastanheiro, Esthela Maria Pereira Rombaldo, Anna Carolina Cenci Matick Nunes, Júlia Calvo Tsuzuki, Fernanda Midori Hirata Navarro, Camila Pepelascov, Daniele Esteves Terada, Raquel Sano Suga 2024-03-02T11:51:32Zoai:ojs.revista.uninga.br:article/4529Revistahttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/indexPUBhttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/oairevistauninga@uninga.edu.br2318-05792318-0579opendoar:2024-03-02T11:51:32Revista Uningá (Online) - Centro Universitário Uningáfalse |
