Abstract

This study analyzed information regarding the teaching of Endodontics in undergraduate courses in Dentistry in the State of Amazonas. A quantitative, observational cross-sectional study of the survey type was designed, answered by the professors responsible for the area, which mapped the teaching model in courses with concept 3 or higher in Enade 2019 (n=3). The response rate was 100%. On average, the number of students per class was 40 individuals, two courses reported that endodontics comprises integrated disciplines with the supervision of 2 to 3 specialist professors. There was consensus on the syllabus content, namely: internal anatomy; stainless steel and NiTi endodontic instruments; filling materials; intracanal medication and irrigating solutions; pulpal and periapical pathology; philosophy of endodontic treatment and endodontic emergencies. Regarding protocols, manual odontometry is performed in all courses; the foraminal patency maneuver is taught in all courses, being performed in the treatment of vital and necrotic teeth in two courses. The apical limit varied between 0.5 and 1mm for teeth with necrosis or pulpal vitality, respectively. The use of manual, rotary and reciprocating NiTi instrumentation systems are taught in all three courses, but the manual is predominant. There was consensus on the use of 2% sodium hypochlorite as an irrigating solution and on the choice of calcium hydroxide as the basis for intracanal medication. It is concluded that the courses have convergence of the Endodontics teaching model, mainly in the foundations of the specialty, which are the integration with other disciplines, the workload, the treatment goals, the syllabus and the presentation of new technologies.
