Abstract(s)
Objetivo: O objetivo principal do presente estudo é averiguar a perceção que os alunos dos 4.º e 5.º anos têm em relação aos fatores responsáveis pelo apinhamento antero-inferior e analisar se ainda consideram os 3.º molares como responsáveis pela ocorrência desta má oclusão.
Materiais e Métodos: Neste estudo, aplicou-se um questionário aos alunos dos 4.º e 5.º anos do curso de Medicina Dentária da Universidade Fernando Pessoa. Foi também efetuada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos científicos disponíveis nas bases de dados eletrónica Pubmed, B-On, Science Direct e Scielo, cujos critérios de inclusão foram os seguintes: limite temporal de 20 anos; o idioma, selecionando-se artigos em Português, Inglês, Espanhol e Brasileiro apenas com texto integral e com acesso livre.
Resultados: A causa mais apontada pelos alunos dos 4.º e 5.º anos para o apinhamento tardio dos incisivos é a existência de dentes supranumerários, surgindo em segundo lugar a erupção dos 3M. Os alunos do género masculino referem possíveis causas com mais sustentação científica. Os discentes estrangeiros consideram a erupção do 3M a causa que mais contribui para provocar apinhamento antero-inferior. Em relação ao fator apontado pelos alunos dos dois anos como causa primordial do apinhamento tardio dos incisivos, os discentes do 4.º ano apresentam perceções mais plausíveis.
Conclusão: A erupção dos 3M molares apontada como causa para o apinhamento tardio ainda é uma ideia muito presente nos alunos dos 4.º e 5.º ano de Medicina Dentária.
Objective: The main objective of the present study is to investigate the perception that students in years 4 and 5 have regarding the factors responsible for antero-inferior crowding and to analyze whether they still consider the third molars responsible for the occurrence of this malocclusion. Materials and Methods: In this study, a questionnaire was applied to years 4 and 5 students of the Dental Medicine course at the Fernando Pessoa University. A bibliographic search of scientific articles was also made available in the electronic databases Pubmed, B-On, Science Direct and Scielo, whose inclusion criteria were: time limit of 20 years; language, selecting articles in Portuguese, English, Spanish and Brazilian and only articles with full text and free access were selected. Results: The most common answer given by years 4 and 5 students as a possible cause of late crowding of the lower incisors is the existence of supernumerary teeth, being the second cause most pointed out to be the third molar eruption. Male students point to possible causes with more scientific evidence. Foreign students consider the eruption of the third molar as the most capable cause of antero-inferior crowding. Regarding the factor that both years 4 and 5 students consider the third molar eruption as the main cause of the late crowding of the incisors, year 4 students presented better evidence. Conclusion: The eruption of the third molars as a cause of late crowding is still a very present idea in years 4 and 5 students of Dental Medicine.
