Medical emergencies in dental practice

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of last year’s scholars of the Dental School of Morgana Potrich on the knowledge of medical emergencies in a dental office. A cross-sectional descriptive study carried out through two semi-structured questionnaires applied to 43 academics. The first questionnaire contained basic self-assessment questions and a second questionnaire with elaborate questions about students' knowledge of different types of emergencies and behaviors. As a result, observed the great insecurity of the students of the institution in the face of emergencies. There was great interest from most undergraduates in obtaining more information and basic life support training (SBV).
