RESUMO

The increase in the number of ethical infractions committed by dentists for not fulfilling the norms of the Code of Dental Ethics (CDE), suggests that these professionals are unprepared to face the ethical problems that appear in the daily of its profession. Ahead of this, it was considered to analyze the knowledge of dentists and dental students, related to this deontological code, searching still, to verify, if it has statistically significant difference, how much to the knowledge level, between the groups: of the academics of the last year of graduation in Dentistry (GROUP I), of the dentists who exclusively act in doctors office or clinic (GROUP II), and of the clinical dentists of who attend a course specialization (GROUP III). For this, 150 questionnaires had been applied (50 for each group), with objective questions that turned on some of main articles of the CDE. The results had confirmed that really deficiency in the knowledge of some on ethical aspects attended with the Dentistry, where, of the 150 participants, n=90 (60%) dont know that, beyond the dentist, all the professionals of other recognized auxiliary categories for the Federal Advice of Dentistry, must follow the ethical norms of the CDE. Another interesting result, sample that 31% of the participants, not to know that, in some cases, the dentist has right to resign to the attendance of the patient during the treatment. The GROUP II, when compared with the other groups, it was what it demonstrated a bigger deficiency in the knowledge of the ethical questions that involve the Dentistry. One concluded that a bigger possible spreading of the CDE is necessary, mainly to those professionals exclusively physicians, with maximum persistence of the Advice of Dentistry, beyond the professors of the area and the entities of classroom, searching preventively to educate and to instruct, to prevent to condemn and to punish.
