Problem-solving Methodology and Problem- Based Learning in Dentistry: bibliometric analysis of papers presented at SBPqO meetings. Rev. ABENO [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.2, pp. 60-67. ISSN 1679-5954.

This study aimed to investigate the Brazilian scientific production on Problematization Methodology (PM) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Dentistry. It was a transversal research, with a quantitative approach, based on secondary data. For that, a bibliometric analysis of the abstracts presented in the last ten Meetings of the Brazilian Society of Dental Research - SBPqO (2007-2016) was carried out. The research performed using the following strategy: location of the abbreviation "PBL" or the fragment "problem" among the abstracts published in the annals of the event. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 902 abstracts were found, 890 were excluded, remaining only 12 abstracts. Nine (75.0%) were researches carried out in public universities, 8 (66.7%) in the Southeast region of Brazil and only 1 (8.3%) received financial support. Although MP and PBL are considered important active methodologies in the teaching-learning process, given the results found in this study, it is concluded that few studies addressing these methods in dentistry have been developed in the last ten years in Brazil, according to the SBPqO Meetings.
