Abstract

Dental adhesive systems are directly involved in common procedures of clinical dentistry, which makes knowledge about this topic indispensable for professionals. The objectives of the current study are to analyze the knowledge profile of dental professionals about dental adhesive systems and verify factors that influence this closure, with emphasis on professional education. The data was collected using a list of questions that consider: I) Professional profile and II) Knowledge, use, and preferences of adhesive systems. The sample considers 501 Brazilian dentists and the data was analyzed using the software Sigma Stat 5.0 (p<0.05). The minimum percentual of correct questions considered adequate was defined as 80%. The results show that only 46.3% of the professionals demonstrated satisfactory knowledge on the subject. In addition, it verified relevant statistical association between low level of correct questions and professionals with preferences for simplified adhesive systems (p=0.046), orthodontic specialists [OR=0.24 (0.08–0.67)], and dentists with private education degrees [OR=1.58 (1.03–2.42)]. This context indicates the imminent necessity to resolve this weakness through improvements in the educational curriculum, as well as continuing education of faculty and constant updating of professionals.
