This study aimed to analyze the dentistry students’ knowledge regarding drug prescription. It is a cross-sectional and quantitative study performed with last-semester dentistry students in a public higher education institution. The students received a blank sheet with the word "Prescription" in the header to prescribe a drug as they deemed pertinent. The researchers developed an instrument to analyze these prescriptions. Then, the data were tabulated for later analysis of the variables. The results were showed in absolute and percentage frequencies. The Binomial Test for two proportions was used for verifying the students’ knowledge regarding the document subsections, at the significance level of 5%. It was noted that in 85.56% of the prescriptions filled by the students there was no postscript; in 64.44% no patient identification and in 67.78% the stamp was missing. It is concluded that a portion of the analyzed prescriptions was in non-compliance with some document’s necessary formal elements.Downloads
