          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Estudar o padrão de prescrição de medicação antimicrobiana e analgésica/ antiinflamatória de uso sistêmico na clínica odontológica. MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional realizado a partir de questionários respondidos por uma amostra representativa randômica de 163 cirurgiões-dentistas, clínicos gerais, da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. Alguns dos aspectos verificados foram a prevalência de prescrições dessas medicações nas duas semanas anteriores à aplicação do questionário; uso do nome genérico nas receitas odontológicas; realização de cursos de reciclagem em farmacologia; auto-avaliação sobre o grau de conhecimento e importância dada a esta disciplina para a prática profissional e preenchimento de fichas clínicas e registro nestas das prescrições realizadas. RESULTADOS E CONCLUSÕES: Observou-se que os medicamentos são prescritos pelo nome comercial, com tendência a prescrever mais freqüentemente antiinflamatórios em relação aos analgésicos. Uma percentagem de 13% de indivíduos não realiza ficha clínica para todos os seus pacientes e cerca de 43% da amostra não registra suas prescrições. Os cursos de reciclagem em farmacologia parecem não alterar a auto-avaliação sobre o nível de conhecimento em farmacologia e o uso do nome genérico.

          OBJECTIVE: The study of the prescription pattern of antibacterial and analgesic/antiinflammatory systemic medication by dentists. METHODS: Observational study based in questionnaires answered by a representative, randomly selected sample of 163 general dentists from the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, Southeastern Brazil. Some of the topics verified were: the most frequently prescribed drugs in the fortnight prior to the study, the use of generic names of drugs in the prescriptions, attendance at refresher courses on pharmacology, self-assessment of degree of knowledge on pharmacology, the importance given to this subject in the dentist's professional career, and the filling out of the clinical chart and the registration of the drugs prescribed on it. RESULTS: It was observed that the drugs were usually prescribed by their commercial name. There were a trend to prescribe more antiinflamatory than analgesics drugs. A small, but worrying, 13% of dentists didnot fill out the clinical chart for all the patients and 43% of the sample didnot register the drugs prescribed on it. The courses on pharmacology seemed to produce no significant alteration in self valuation as to the degree of knowledge in pharmacology and the use of the generic names of drugs.

              Compliance with guidelines for management of dental school patients susceptible to infective endocarditis.

              The purpose of the investigation was to determine the extent to which the 1984 American Heart Association prophylaxis guidelines were adopted in a sample of dental school patients and to determine whether implementation strategies resulted in change in the management of patients at risk for infective endocarditis (IE). Dental records of 330 patients requiring medical consultation on the basis of a heart problem identified in the medical history questionnaire were reviewed. One hundred fifty-four patients required IE prophylaxis according to their physicians. Only 11 percent of IE-susceptible patient charts showed documentation of correct prophylaxis for every appointment at which a bacteremia was possible. Only 35 percent of patients receiving prophylaxis after December 1984 were covered according to the new American Heart Association guidelines.
