Level of knowledge of students about the application of nanoscience in dentistry
Keywords:
Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, Biomaterials, DentistryAbstract
Introduction: nanotechnology consists of the use of synthetic or natural materials formed by structures smaller than 100 nm, as well as grains with a size smaller than 100 nm, fibers with a diameter smaller than 100 nm, films with a smaller thickness. at 100 nm, and also the nanoholes and compounds formed by the combination of these. Objective: determine the level of knowledge in students of the Dentistry program at the Regional Autonomous University of the Andes Santo Domingo, focused on the main technological developments of nanoscience. Method: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out at the Regional Autonomous University of Los Andes, Santo Domingo campus belonging to the country of Ecuador in the period of 2022, the universe was composed of 160 students enrolled in the dentistry career. Results: according to the information collected, 77 % of the students demonstrate knowledge or idea of the basic concept of nanoscience. Regarding whether this new science should be taken into account in professional practice, the sample showed that 68 % of the same, claim to use this technology in professional practice. Conclusions: within the study it is required that the lack of interest on the part of the students added to the misinformation with the new technologies of the subject in the educational field are the main problems within the study that determines that this practice of nanotechnology in dentistry is in theoretical levels.
