Resumo
The dental team is subject to conditions that foster occupational
exposure to biological material such as the performance in
the oral cavity - environment of small, difficult access and colonized
by various microorganisms - and the use of professional
tools and equipment rotary-generating sneezing and aerosols.
In this context, the objective was to identify the epidemiological
profile of accidents involving biological material institution reported.
A descriptive study was outlined considering the sheets
cross (n= 71) for registration of accidents with biological material
occurring in the institution during the period from March 2002
to July 2008. Among the accidents, 91.6% occurred in students,
4.2% in technical, administrative, 2.8% and 1.4% in teachers in
trainees, with 64.8% of the injured were female. Considering
that 31 notices remained with incomplete data, other accidents
(n=40) showed the following: percutaneous exposure (34/85.0%)
and sneezing in mucous (6 /15.0%); The body area most affected
were the hands (32/80.0%), and as mucous (6/15.0%); the
biological material involved: there was the prevalence of blood
and saliva (17/42.5.0%), followed by saliva (5 /12.5%) and blood
(3/7.5%), 4. Location of accident: there was a prevalence of reencape
(9/22.5%) and handling (7/17.5%) of anesthetic needle and
implementation of surgical procedures (6/15.0%); 5. Situation of
the patient source: source known in 75.0% (n=30) of accidents.
The use of all equipment for individual protection was reported
by 75.0% (n=30) of respondents and immunization coverage
against hepatitis B by 95.0% (n=38), and 92.1% had full immunization
schedule and 50.0% knew and were responsive to anti
HBs. It was concluded that the biological risk is imminent for
the dental team and it is necessary to establish a program of continuing
education focused on strategies for education and prevention
of accidents with biological material and in this public
awareness about the importance of the notification of accidents,
and improve the system of registration of CCIO.
