Abstract

The Resolution CFO-82/2008 released on 1 October 2008 lowered standards for habilitation of Dental Surgeons (DS) in Complementary and Integrative Practices (CIP) in Brazil. The aim of this study were to identify and analyze the available scientific evidence in the field of CIP in dentistry, as well as knowing the motivations of CD that led to the search for vetting in PIC. The research results were available in this thesis in eight chapters (articles). The first three chapters cover the elaboration process of systematic reviews that include dimensions beyond of clinical parameters and of clinical evidence of the use of CIP in buccal health. The fourth chapter deals with the perceptions of students of dentistry about the incorporation of the teaching of CIP during graduation. The fifth and sixth chapter presents the results of two systematic reviews of the literature concerning the capture of qualitative data through telephone interviews and through other types of interviews conducted at a distance. The seventh chapter presents the geographical distribution of DS habilitated in 2009 to exercise the CIP in Brazil. The eighth and final chapter consists of a qualitative study about the motivations of DS to get its habilitation in CIP. With the development of research was possible: a) expose to the scientific community a proposed methodology that goes beyond the compilation of clinical data and quantitative information that does not reach beyond the interventions and clinical outcomes (Chapter 1); b) identify that literature analyzed revealed higher number of published studies on dental laser therapy furthermore there is positive evidence of the use of CIP in dentistry, but the articles evaluated showed limitations regarding the quality and consistency of their results (Chapter 2); c) identify the prevalence of positive evidence from the use of CIP in different contexts of oral health (Chapter 3); d) identify that dental students in the institutions studied, considers important the incorporation of the teaching of the CIP during the undergraduate course (Chapter 4); e) verify that the analyzed articles presents superficially how the telephone interviews (TI) were planned and conducted thus the low cost and the need for small infrastructure were the main reasons for the choice of the use of TI in qualitative data collection (Chapter 5); f) verify that the most studied subject was the comparation of distance interviews (DI) with other techniques of data collection, followed by studies on the feasibility of DI and evaluative studies of instruments for data collection by phone (Chapter 6); g) verify the existence of the concentration of professionals in the State of Sao Paulo, identify the most of DS are female and has habilitation in Dental Laser therapy (Chapter 7); h) identify that the main motivation for the pursuit of habilitations in CIP applied to buccal health was curiosity aroused by different stimuli, especially those included in the personal and professional demands (Chapter 8) (AU)
