Abstract

The CESPU Scientific Conferences of Dental Sciences are organized every year and are notable for the presentation of scientific papers prepared by the students. The main aim of this study was to assess which themes, in the Children’s Oral Health and Prevention Service (SOIP), are of most interest to students for the presentation of posters and oral communications. For the analysis, we collected all the papers from the service that were presented at the Scientific Conferences between 2013 and 2023. Subsequently, the changes that occurred over the years were assessed through statistical analysis using SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 29.0. After the evaluation, it was concluded that Orthodontics is the theme most chosen by the students, followed by Systemic Diseases and Specific Needs. In turn, Sports Dentistry came in last place, having never been selected for any work. As for the Major Groups, the focus was on Craniofacial Development and Orthodontics, followed by Oral Medicine.
