- Abstract
Emergencies in dental practice can occur unpredictably. The complications range from simple episodes to cases that threaten the patient's life. It is the obligation of the Dental Surgeon (DS) to know these emergencies and how to act on them. The objective of this study was to investigate the DSs of the Quixeramobim city on medical emergencies likely to occur in dental clinic. The study involved a group of 42 Dentists working in this region, as well as 20 students of the first semester and 20 of the last semester of graduation, and 11 teachers of the Catholic College Backland`s Queen (CUBQ or FCRS) Dentistry School. Data were collected through an objective and subjective questionnaire and the results are shown through graphics and tables, with the subsequent statistical analysis. Regarding to the knowledge about emergencies, within the limitations of the methodology applied, the DSs of the region showed the same level of knowledge that teachers and alumni of FCRS or CUBQ. However, professionals do not have the equipment to conduct a medical emergency care in their work environments and this study can conclude that DSs know the importance of medical emergencies knowledge, but the authors suggest the need of practical courses for better training of the professionals in the region.
