Abstract
El tratamiento endodóntico es uno de los procedimientos dentales más difíciles a los que se enfrenta un odontólogo durante la práctica clínica. Se espera que un estudiante de odontología al graduarse, pueda realizar un buen diagnóstico, implementar un plan de tratamiento adecuado, razonable, calificado y seguro. Sin embargo, pocos estudiantes se sienten capacitados para realizar tratamientos endodónticos después de graduarse, donde son diversas las variables a considerar. A su vez, esta falta de confianza está estrechamente asociada con la percepción de la educación universitaria de los estudiantes y el conocimiento adquirido durante los años académicos de formación profesional. Objetivo: Conocer el nivel de confianza al realizar un tratamiento de conducto y la percepción en la calidad de la educación en endodoncia en estudiantes de 4to y 5to año de odontología de la Universidad Finis Terrae en el año 2022. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo, de tipo transversal. La muestra del estudio estuvo constituida por 94 estudiantes de 4to y 5to de odontología de la Universidad Finis Terrae en el año 2022. Se evaluaron 4 variables: Nivel de confianza al realizar un tratamiento de conducto, percepción en la calidad de la educación en endodoncia, año en curso y género. Estudio aprobado por el Comité de Ética Científico de la Universidad Finis Terrae. Se solicitó la firma de consentimiento informado por parte de los participantes. El instrumento utilizado para la recolección de datos fue un cuestionario realizado por J. Davey et al. en Reino Unido y aprobado por la Universidad de Cardiff, el cual tiene como objetivo medir la confianza de los estudiantes al realizar un tratamiento de conducto y su percepción en la calidad de la educación en endodoncia. Debido a que este cuestionario estaba en inglés, se utilizó la traducción certificada realizada por A. Valdez en la tesis “Confianza en estudiantes de 4to y 5to año de la carrera de odontología al realizar tratamientos de conducto uniradiculares”, validado en la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. Se realizó análisis estadístico descriptivo en el Software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Resultados: Un 77,3% de los estudiantes se sintieron confiados al realizar una endodoncia unirradicular, con una mediana y rango intercuartílico de 6(3), respectivamente, lo que indica que en su mayoría se sentían confiados (puntaje >5). Al anestesiar la pieza dentaria a tratar, un 91.7% de los estudiantes se sintió confiado, con una mediana y rango intercuartílico de 9(3), siendo esta, la etapa donde se presentó mayor confianza. Por otro lado, la etapa con menor confianza de los estudiantes, fue al colocar un poste en el conducto radicular y saber cómo utilizarlo para retener una restauración, con una mediana y rango intercuartílico de 4(3), en donde solamente el 48,4% de los alumnos se sienten confiados. Respecto a la percepción en la calidad de la educación en endodoncia, un 63.9% de los estudiantes consideró “buena” (puntaje >5) la cantidad de tiempo empleado en su entrenamiento en el área de la endodoncia, con una mediana y rango intercuartílico de 5(3), un 80.4% de los estudiantes consideró “buena” la calidad de las sesiones prácticas, con una mediana y rango intercuartílico de 6(4) y un 81.4 de los estudiantes consideró “buena” la calidad de las clases teóricas, con una mediana y rango intercuartílico de 7(4), lo que indica que en su mayoría, consideran buena la educación en endodoncia en estos 3 aspectos. Conclusión: Los estudiantes de 4to y 5to año de la carrera de Odontología de la Universidad Finis Terrae en el año 2022, se sienten confiados al realizar tratamientos de conductos uniradiculares y perciben como buena la calidad de la educación en endodoncia.
Endodontic treatment is one of the most difficult dental procedures a dentist faces during clinical practice. A dental student upon graduation is expected to be able to make a good diagnosis, implement an adequate, reasonable, qualified, and safe treatment plan. However, few students feel qualified to perform endodontic treatment after graduation, where there are several variables to consider. In turn, this lack of confidence is closely associated with the students' perception of their university education and the knowledge acquired during the academic years of professional training. Objective: Determine the level of confidence when performing root canal treatment and the perception of the quality of endodontic education in 4th and 5th year dental students at the Finis Terrae University in the year 2022. Material and methods: Descriptive observational, cross-sectional, cross-sectional study. The study sample consisted of 94 students in the 4th and 5th years of dentistry at the Finis Terrae University in the year 2022. Four variables were evaluated: level of confidence when performing root canal treatment, perception of the quality of endodontic education, current year and gender. The study was approved by the Scientific Ethics Committee of the Finis Terrae University. Participants were asked to sign an informed consent form. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire developed by J. Davey et al. in the United Kingdom and approved by Cardiff University, which aims to measure students' confidence in performing root canal treatment and their perception of the quality of endodontic education. Since this questionnaire was in English, we used the certified translation made by A. Valdez in the thesis "Confidence in 4th and 5th year dental students when performing uniradicular root canal treatment", validated at the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed using the Software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: A 77.3% of the students felt confident when performing uniradicular endodontics, with a median and interquartile range of 6(3), respectively, indicating that most of them felt confident (score >5). When anesthetizing the tooth to be treated, 91.7% of the students felt confident, with a median and interquartile range of 9(3), being this the stage where the greatest confidence was presented. On the other hand, the stage with the least confidence of the students was when placing a post in the root canal and knowing how to use it to retain a restoration, with a median and interquartile range of 4(3), in which only 48.4% of the students felt confident. Regarding the perception on the quality of endodontic education, 63.9% of the students considered "good" (score >5) the amount of time spent on their endodontic training, with a median and interquartile range of 5(3), 80. 4% of the students considered "good" the quality of the practical sessions, with a median and interquartile range of 6(4) and 81.4% of the students considered "good" the quality of the theoretical classes, with a median and interquartile range of 7(4), which indicates that most of them consider the endodontic education good in these 3 aspects. Key words: Confidence, perception, endodontics, students.
