During their undergraduate course, dentists need to be aware about the risk they are exposed to in their work environment so they can avoid them. Thus, we proposed a TV newscast entitled "Ergonews" which was presented to the 2nd-year undergraduate Dentistry students at Araraquara Dental School – UNESP, in order to expand and enhance their knowledge in the discipline of Ergonomics in Dentistry I. The newscast has included a reporter and a "philosopher", the latter having the function to issue philosophical opinions not always correct about the concepts of ergonomics. The topics covered were: i. the importance of rationalizing work to increase productivity and quality of life of the dentists; ii. requirements of ergonomic posture, occupational health, and the importance of cross infection control in dental practice; iii. dental equipment and delegation of functions - four hands work. Each “Ergonews” episode was prepared previously to the class and all recordings were edited using the Movie Maker. The newscast was presented to students during the Ergonomics in Dentistry I classes, every 15 days, using multimedia projection, with an average duration of 10 minutes. After the presentation of each "Ergonews" episode, students were asked to evaluate critically the concepts of ergonomics issued by "philosopher" in the newscast. It can be concluded that the "Ergonews" was an auxiliary method to promote learning about ergonomics in dentistry.
