Abstract
El Dolor Orofacial (DOF) es “Un dolor que es percibido en la cara y/o cavidad oral,
está causado por enfermedades o trastornos de estructuras regionales, por
disfunción del sistema nervioso, o bien el dolor puede estar referido desde un origen
o localización lejanos” 1
Su alta prevalencia hace de esta condición un problema de salud a nivel mundial, la
literatura internacional ha demostrado a lo largo de los años la deficiencia que existe
en los profesionales con relación al entendimiento del DOF, debido a esto el
presente estudio tiene como objetivo determinar el conocimiento en Dolor Orofacial
en los docentes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Finis Terrae en el
año 2021 (n=29). Para esto se utilizó una encuesta validada, obtenida de la literatura
científica. Este cuestionario permitió evaluar parámetros sociodemográficos,
percepción y conocimiento del encuestado respecto al diagnóstico, signos y
síntomas clínicos de afecciones de Dolor Orofacial. Dentro de los resultados se
pudo observar que del total de encuestados 44,83% fueron hombres y 55,17%. En
donde 17.24% llevaba menos de 10 años ejerciendo el título, 51.72% llevaba 10-20
años de práctica y 31.03% llevaba más de 20 años ejerciendo como cirujano
dentista. El ultimo parámetro evaluado fue la presencia de especialidad en donde el
89,66% dijo tener alguna especialidad dental.
Se pudo concluir que los conocimientos de los docentes son aceptables, ya que
cinco enunciados fueron respondidos correctamente por más del 60% de los
participantes. Si bien se encontraron algunas limitaciones en el estudio, los
resultados fueron favorables y pueden ser la base para próximas investigaciones,
para la instauración de cursos y para darle un nuevo enfoque a la odontología, en
donde se desarrollen profesionales integrales y capaces de diagnosticar, tratar o
manejar estas condiciones.

For this, a validated survey, obtained from the scientific literature, was used. This questionnaire allowed evaluating sociodemographic parameters, perception and knowledge of the respondent regarding the diagnosis, clinical signs and symptoms of Orofacial Pain conditions.
