Abstract

Introduction: Local anesthesia is an essential stage for dental procedures, with comfort and no pain. Objectives: In order to observe the local anesthetic technique performed by undergraduate students of PUC-Campinas, held a noninterventional observational study. Methods: For this, filled with 26 forms in which we observed the following issues: local anesthesia, aspiration prior local anesthetic injection time, number of tubes used, students’ knowledge about the type of salt used anesthetic, weight and systemic condition of the patient. Results: The results showed that 92.3% of students assessed using topical anesthetic, none prior aspiration, only 3.85% had knowledge about the patient’s weight and 69.23% of the students knew which anesthetic salt was being used without consulting in tubete (p <0.0001 Chi-Square for the above results). Conclusion: Concludes that the evaluated graduation students didn’t meet properly all necessary steps to achieve a correct local anesthesia technique in children.
