Abstract:

Abstract This is an integrative review that considered the period from the beginning of 2015 to the beginning of 2020, carried out in mid-2020. It aimed to review the productions about academical knowledge in Dentistry in emergency situations. The PubMed, Medline and Scielo databases were chosen using descriptors, separately or in combination: medical emergencies, dentists and dentistry emergencies. Eleven original articles were included, nine of which stated that undergraduates do not feel confident and/or have theoretical-practical mastery of emergencies and only two stated the opposite. This study shows a small number of productions related to the assessment of the knowledge of undergraduate dentistry students about medical emergencies. This fact shows how the theme is still little addressed in the training and practice of dental surgeons.
