The non probabilistic sample, was of 163 persons. The variables about knowledge and practice were classified in correct and incorrect, according to the answer to a questionnaire ; years of professional experience was analyzed and if the dentists were specialists and professors.
Results: the right answers about knowledge were higher in dentists (54,8%) than in technicians and technologists (47,8%). The contrary was observed related to practice.
