One week after performing the surgical procedures, the children (Group 1), their parents (Group 2) and the students who attended the procedures (Group 3) were individually interviewed for the thematic analysis.Results:
The analysis of the conversations identified three emerging contents positive thoughts on the use of diode laser; frustrations from the use of diode laser; and aspects related to professional training.Conclusion:
The results pointed to the acceptance of surgical laser use in pediatric dentistry; however, the feelings of frustration indicate that its use requires guidance from the child and his/her parents, in addition to careful handling and specific training.Palavras-chave
