Abstract(s)
A escolha do tema para o presente trabalho de investigação, com vista à conclusão do
Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Dentária, tem por objectivo contribuir para, de uma
forma séria e clara, dar resposta a uma série de interrogações, ansiedades e situações
confusas entre membros da classe dos Médicos Dentistas no que diz respeito às
práticas de sedação durante tratamentos médico-dentários.
Este tema actual, especialmente no que ao panorama nacional diz respeito, tem vindo
a levantar no seio da classe diversas questões no que se refere às diferentes
abordagens e aos profissionais que as deverão praticar com segurança, nos diferentes
contextos.
Foi um objectivo, desde a génese do presente trabalho, que o mesmo contribuísse para
o estado da arte da Medicina Dentária portuguesa, ultrapassando a mera formalidade
curricular de conclusão de um ciclo de estudos de graduação, mas que permitisse
ainda um trabalho sólido a continuidade na investigação a desenvolver futuramente
nesta área do conhecimento médico.
Optou-se por dividir esta monografia em duas partes. Uma primeira de revisão teórica
dos conhecimentos e fundamentos inerentes à sedação, em que são revistos os
diferentes tipos de sedação existentes e disponíveis, os graus de sedação existentes, os
diversos fármacos e técnicas utilizadas, as indicações e contra-indicações e a sua
adequabilidade aos vários pacientes, de acordo com as suas especificidades.
Na segunda parte do trabalho, a ambição e o desejo de verificar os conhecimentos dos
Médicos Dentistas a exercer em Portugal, no que respeita ao uso de técnicas de
sedação na sua prática clínica, conduziu à realização de um trabalho de pesquisa com
preenchimento de inquéritos aos profissionais, abordando as técnicas, os
conhecimentos e a experiência. Todo este processo foi devidamente aprovado pela
Comissão de Ética da Universidade Fernando Pessoa.
The choice of the theme for this research paper, with the main goal to finish my MSc in Dentistry, aims to contribute, in a serious and clean way, to give an answer to some doubts, anxieties and some questions between members of Dentist class relating to sedation practices during dentistry treatments. Nowadays, especially concerned about the national scene, this theme has been raising several questions with regard to different approaches and professionals who need to practice safely in different contexts. Since the beginning of this paper, it was a goal that this one contributed to the state of the art of Portuguese Dentistry, going more far than the simple finish of a formal curricular cycle of graduation’s studies. More than that, intents to be a solid and consistent work to be continued, developing even more the research in this knowledge area of medicine. This work is divided in two parts. The first one is a theoretical review of knowledge and fundamentals involved in sedation, where different types of available and existent sedation techniques are reviewed. Besides that, intents to revise the several sedation degrees, the most frequently used drugs and techniques, indications and contraindications and their suitability to patients, according to their specificities. On the second part of the paper, the ambition and desire to actually verify the knowledge of Dentists about sedation techniques in Portugal and to know if a Dentist recognizes how sedation techniques can be useful in the clinical practice, led to do a research paper with filling out surveys to professionals, addressing the technical, the knowledge and the experience. This whole process has been properly approved by the Ethics Committee of Fernando Pessoa University.
