ABSTRACT
Objective: to evaluate the teaching of spirituality in Dentistry courses. Method: this cross-sectional study was conducted with professors and students of Dentistry in higher education institutions in Brazil. Results: a low level of spirituality was more prevalent (53.3%), which was statistically significant for students (60.1%) and female gender (55.8%). When asked whether spirituality was addressed in curricular activities, 82.1% answered never or rarely, 78.5% said that the information received was insufficient or very insufficient to address spirituality with patients. When asked if they believed that topics relating to Health and Spirituality should be part of Dentistry curricula, 81.5% answered affirmatively. Conclusion: religiosity/spirituality is scarcely addressed in undergraduate Dentistry courses or is only incipient, although the study revealed that the subject should be addressed in order to prepare students properly.
