Resumen
Objetivo: Informar sobre la experiencia de los estudiantes de odontología en el contexto hospitalario público. Relato de Experiencia: Este informe cubre las experiencias de los estudiantes de sexto semestre del programa de Odontología de una Institución de Educación Superior, realizado en un hospital público en el municipio de Caxias, Maranhão, durante el mes de marzo de 2024, en los períodos de la mañana y la tarde. Todas las actividades fueron supervisadas por un docente perteneciente al equipo del hospital, con formación en Odontología Hospitalaria. Se adoptó la Metodología de la Problematización a través del Arco de Maguerez para el análisis. La experiencia proporcionó una visión de las limitaciones enfrentadas en el contexto de la salud pública. La escasez de recursos, la falta de instrumentos quirúrgicos adecuados y la baja calidad de los equipos de protección personal (EPP) demostraron la necesidad de adaptación para asegurar la prestación de cuidados de salud a los pacientes. Durante la visita a la UCI, las condiciones precarias de infraestructura y la falta de bioseguridad resaltaron fallos en el control de infecciones. Además, la utilización de los materiales proporcionados por las propias estudiantes resaltó la falta de recursos para realizar procedimientos simples, como la higiene bucal de los pacientes. Consideraciones Finales: La experiencia en odontología hospitalaria permitió reflexionar sobre los desafíos y oportunidades en el ámbito de la salud pública.
