SILVA, Guilherme Costa da  e  LARENTIS, Naiara Leites. Dental students' preferences on learning periapical radiographic technique with or without using positioning devices. Rev. ABENO [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.2, pp. 105-110. ISSN 1679-5954.

In order to evaluate ULBRA Torres students' preferences on learning the radiographic technique - with or without periapical periapical positioning devices, 26 students participated in this study. They were divided into 2 groups. In group (A) students took upper region periapical radiographs (anterior and posterior) using the bisector technique without the use of positioning devices (PD) and then with the use of PD. In the next class, two lower region radiographs (anterior and posterior) with and then without PD. In group (B) students held two x-rays of the upper region (anterior and posterior) using the bisector technique with the use of PD and later without the use of PD. In the class following, two lower region radiographs (anterior and posterior) without and then with PD. A questionnaire was applied on their preferences about learning with and without use or without PD. From the 26 students who returned the questionnaire, 9 (34.6%) preferred to practice first without and later with PD, 16 (61.6%) preferred to practice first with use of PD and later without it and there was no difference for 1 student (3.80%). In conclusion, ULBRA Torres 2014/1 students preferred to learn the periapical technique first using the PD and then without, because they believe that PD facilitates learning.
