| Abstract | Patients with special needs (PSN) represent a significant part of the Brazilian population, corresponding to 24%. However, these patients may face several barriers to access dental care. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of Dental students about PSN treatment. A questionnaire was applied to undergraduates from the 2nd to 4th year of the Faculty of Dentistry of Bauru (n = 122), with questions regarding dental care and their perceptions about PSN. It is observed that a significant number of students do not feel prepared for this service, reaching 95% in the 4th year. Regarding the perception regarding the preparation to treat PSN, the 4th year students are referred to as regular, while the majority of students in the 2nd and 3rd years believe that they are not prepared. Dental treatment is fundamental for the establishment of oral health of patients, mainly when related to PNE, being essential knowledge of limitations and resources that lead to the reception of the patient by graduates. The contact with PNE during the graduation is essential for the knowledge and the rupture of possible prejudices that can involve the attendance of this population, in order to promote oral health and quality of life to the PSN. |
