Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the knowledge of dentists who work in private offices in Palmas, Tocantins, regarding the use of local anesthetics in patients with diabetes mellitus. Materials and method: this research is a qualitative descriptive study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee of FAMERP from São José do Rio Preto, under protocol number 032/2007 and CAAE: 0065.0.000.140-07 in compliance with the Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council. Data collection was performed through the application of a questionnaire, using a structured form. Results: 47 (41.6%) out of 113 participants were male and 66 (58.4%) female, with an average age of 35 years old. The anesthetic most used by the dentists evaluated was lidocaine 2% + adrenaline 1: 100,000 (53.1%) which is also the most used for controlled diabetic patients (64.6%). As for the variety of anesthetics, 47.8% of those evaluated reported having only 3 types of anesthetics in the office and that 83.2% never saw any problems resulting from the use of anesthetics. Furthermore, 65.5% reported not participating in courses to update knowledge and 53.1% were dissatisfied with the teaching of anesthesiology they received during graduation. Conclusion: it was observed that dentists who work in private dental offices in Palmas need a professional retraining in order to update knowledge acquired during graduation on the indication and use of local anesthetics in dental treatments for patients with special needs, with an emphasis on patients with diabetes mellitus.
