Durante as tomadas radiográficas na clínica odontológica, o operador entra em contato com a cavidade oral do paciente e, em seguida, com o cone de raios-X e botão de exposição, o que pode haver infecção cruzada, sem as medidas de biossegurança adequadas. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a conduta dos alunos do curso de Odontologia da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba a respeito da biossegurança em Radiologia Odontológica. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, observacional, de caráter descritivo, realizado por meio da aplicação de questionário com perguntas relacionadas à biossegurança em Radiologia Odontológica, no qual participaram alunos do 5º ao 10º período do curso de Odontologia da referida instituição. Os alunos que estavam cursando ou haviam cursado o componente curricular Radiologia Odontológica foram incluídos no estudo. Foram respondidos 88 questionários. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. No que diz respeito à preocupação com o controle de infecção, 99% dos alunos mostraram-se preocupados com biossegurança. Quanto à solução química mais utilizada para desinfecção, o álcool a 70% se mostrou o mais utilizado (63%). Em relação a prática de desinfecção do equipo, 78% não responderam à questão. Quanto à proteção dos filmes intrabucais, 97% responderam que fazem uso de barreiras mecânicas. Quanto ao procedimento feito após o uso dos posicionadores, a maioria (58%) dos alunos respondeu que utiliza soluções desinfetantes. Concluiu-se que a maioria dos alunos se mostraram preocupados com a biossegurança na clínica de Radiologia e que possuíam condutas adequadas de desinfecção antes, durante e após os procedimentos.Palavras-chave: Odontologia.

Abstract During radiographic taking at the dental clinic, the operator contacts the patient's oral cavity and with the X-ray cone and exposure button, which may be cross-infection, without adequate biosafety measures. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the behavior of dental students of the State University of Paraíba regarding biosafety in Dental Radiology. This is a cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study, carried out through the application of a questionnaire with questions related to biosafety in Dental Radiology, in which participated students from the 5th to 10th period of the Dentistry course of this institution. The students who were studying or had studied the curricular component Dental Radiology were included in the study. Eighty-eight questionnaires were answered. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. With regard to infection control concern, 99% of the students were concerned about biosafety. As for the most used chemical solution for disinfection, 70% alcohol was the most used (63%). Regarding the disinfection practice of the equipment, 78% did not respond to the question. Concerning the protection of intraoral films, 97% answered that they use mechanical barriers. As for the procedure done after the use of the positioners, the majority (58%) of the students answered that they use disinfectant solutions. It was concluded that most of the students were worried about biosafety in the Radiology Clinic and that they had adequate disinfection behavior before, during and after procedures.Keywords: Dentistry.
