Abstract

An observational descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the physical medical records of patients treated in the period of one year. The data was performed were organized in electronic spreadsheets and submitted to descriptive and inferential statistics, with the significance level of 5%. The main problem was the pain (70%); the most predominant diagnosis was pulpitis (41%); the treatment was performed over the opening sequence, the within the duct medication and temporary restoration of the crown (50,5%). Most patients are women (66,9%), from Recife (54,1%) and adulthood (76,9%).
