SUMMARY:

Introduction: Since 2002, there has been an Ordinance from the Ministry of Labor and Employment that allowed the dental surgeon (DS) to request complementary tests, such as those intended for surgical risk and laboratory tests in general. The exercise of dental practice requires that the DSs know how to identify and interpret the presence of oral alterations, especially what this finding can interfere with during surgical or invasive procedures, as well as its importance to guide the preoperative measures that should be employed. Objective: to contextualize the importance of laboratory tests in dental practice, as well as to evaluate the request for blood count and biochemical tests, under different aspects, by DSs in the state of Minas Gerais. Aim:To describe and analyze factors associated with the knowledge of DSs in the state of Minas Gerais about laboratory tests in dental practice, culminating in the elaboration of a manual with an approach to the subject. Methods: 279 DSs from the state of Minas Gerais participated in this descriptive observational cross-sectional study, working in public service, private service or both, who completed their course in the period between 1980 and 2021. To obtain data for further analysis, a questionnaire was created on Google forms, which was sent to all DCs enrolled in CRO-MG. Results: the analysis of the answers to the questionnaires revealed, as main findings: a) a greater number of female participants with graduation after 2002; b) the majority claimed to perform invasive procedures knowing when to request blood count and biochemical tests; c) in the case of patients with oral manifestations, many DSs claimed to request laboratory tests, in addition to most claiming to have knowledge about medications and diseases that cause oral manifestations and d) most have already performed care for patients under anticoagulation. However, only a minority (2.9%) always requests laboratory tests in professional practice, while the majority rarely requests them (58.3%). Conclusions: the data analyzed together reveal that a significant number of DCs still have limitations regarding knowledge and the conduct to be adopted in invasive procedures when the patient has special needs, especially with regard to the request and interpretation of laboratory tests that may optimize dental practice. A quick reference manual on important laboratory tests for dental practice is included as a useful and timely supplement.
