Abstract

This study aimed to achieve information concerning the teaching of Endodontics in preclinical activities in different undergraduate courses in Dentistry in Brazil, and analyzed the profile and distribution of these institutions across the country regions. This was a cross-sectional observational census study, involving 246 teaching institutions, by accessing the electronic websites of institutions, achieving public domain data. The information related to the teaching institutions were obtained from a public database, on the electronic website of the Brazilian Federal Dental Council (CFO). The following variables of interest were recorded: data on the teaching institution, distribution of disciplines related to preclinical teaching in the field of Endodontics, and workload related to the teaching of Endodontics. Data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. Most courses are offered in private institutions, located in the Southeast region of the country, with greater number of daytime courses presenting minimum duration of 10 semesters. Concerning the presence of information related to the curriculum of Dentistry courses in the institutions analyzed, direct access was possible to the electronic websites of 190 institutions (77.2%). The Pedagogical Project was available on the electronic website of 57 courses (23.2%). There was great diversity of organization of disciplines in the different institutions. It was observed that there is limited information available for access as public domain, which impairs a more careful analysis of the didactic models and contents addressed by the institutions. Also, the information available suggest heterogeneous approaches for the preclinical Endodontics teaching.
