Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2006, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this study was, through a questionnaire, evaluate the level of knowledge of the students from graduation in Dentistry course –UNIVILLE –, about the teeth bank: its activities and functioning,biosecutity in teeth manipulation and, especially, to find out the reason why the students do not donate spontaneously extracted teeth to the bank.A questionnaire was elaborated and applied to the students from the first to the fifth year of graduation with pertinent questions about the teeth bank, such as the use of teeth in the disciplines of the course, biosecurity and donation of dental elements. After the questionnaire was applied, it was possible to evidence that: all the interviewed students (100%) had needed extracted dental elements to use in laboratory assignments; 84,2% have reported difficulty in the obtainment of the requested teeth; about biosecurity, 66.6% of the students have stated that they had already manipulated extracted teeth without individual protection equipment; even knowing that the pulp and periodontal tissues can present sanguineous pathogenic microorganisms transmissible to the human being (86,8%). It was evidenced that the main reason why students did not participate effectively in the donation of “private supplies”, is the unfamiliarity with the activities of the teeth bank, its norms of procedure, protocols of donation and, mainly, the withdrawal of dental elements.
