Abstract

The objective was to develop an interactive presentation able to help dentists and undergraduates to select the most appropriate pulp therapy for each case, as well as to report the users' experience. Based on the literature, the signs and symptoms associated with pulp involvement in deciduous teeth were listed to cover the possible related clinical situations. Conditions that could contraindicate treatment were also listed, such as the impossibility of restoration. These data were used to create a slideshow, in Microsoft Power PointTM, in which it is possible to mark the data collected in the anamnesis as well as the clinical and radiographic signs of the case. From the combination of answers, the user receives a relation of suitable treatment options. The product was evaluated by undergraduates, dentists and pediatric dentists regarding use, content and understanding. They were instructed to report their considerations and encouraged to make suggestions, which were discussed by the researchers and, when relevant, were incorporated. Finally, the interactive presentation consisted of 41 slides that correlate the marked data and inform dentists and undergraduates about the most appropriate treatment options for deciduous teeth that have reversible or irreversible pulpal inflammation or necrosis. Users described the tool as “easy to use”, “very good”, “a great help”, among other positive aspects.
