| Summary: | Introduction: The use of antibiotics is very common in the dental consultation for the
post-surgical patient and in the patient who will undergo some invasive dental treatment, but
generally the prescription of antibiotics by the dentist is based on a diagnosis of infection, his
experience clinically and are commonly used empirically. But resistance to these drugs is now
one of the most serious threats to global health. And, the use of antibiotics is becoming more and
more frequent, due to this, certain bacteria have become drug resistant.
Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the level of knowledge of the
students of the dental faculty of the Antonio Nariño University, Bucaramanga headquarters,
about the use of antibiotics in clinical practice and their mechanisms of action (2019).
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, involving 85 students
from fifth to tenth semester of dentistry who were doing clinical practices. For this purpose, a
survey was applied to the students of the faculty who, on the day it was applied, were available
during the clinical shift and had the time indicated for the development of the survey, which
consisted of 16 questions in total. Closed method questions were handled, which were divided
into two groups: the first were questions associated with mechanisms of action and the second
were questions related to clinical management.
Results: A percentage of correct answers was observed by groups of questions: 39%
regarding questions associated with mechanisms of action and 46% regarding those associated
with clinical practice. Determining with the analysis carried out that the level of knowledge about
antibiotics of the students was low since it did not exceed 60%
Conclusions: It was observed that the general average of knowledge on antibiotics of the
students from fifth to tenth semester of clinics is low since it did not exceed 60%. It is necessary
to reinforce both the basic knowledge and during the development of the practicals, in order to
strengthen the knowledge of the students of the Antonio Nariño University, Bucaramanga
headquarters, on the topic addressed. |
