Sumario:Dentists should be prepared to manage eventual medical emergencies that occur in the dental practice. However, many dentists are not fully prepared to manage these situations and have insufficient experience training in medical emergencies. The aim of this paper is to report the experience of educational activities using a high-fidelity simulator in different scenarios in order to prepare dental professionals for medical emergencies in the dental clinic. This methodology allows discussion in the debriefing room regarding the main techniques and procedures to be performed in clinical practice in cases of emergencies and training of dentists to meet these situations. It can be concluded that high-fidelity simulation represents an innovative learning scenario and it is an effective educational method to prepare dental professionals for medical emergencies.
