Resumen

This paper presents the outreach activity ´Toothache´, which is part of the university project called SmileACTION (free translation). The project supports the popularization of science and aims to investigate high school students' oral health conditions. Teaching materials were designed (problem situation, guide, text and game) based on situated learning and active methodologies. Educational practices were carried out with 1,344 students enrolled in public schools. The Simplified Oral Hygiene Index and an Index with the categories Decayed, Lost and Filled for every tooth was used to assess volunteers´ dental condition. The 58 participants evaluated the process. The results point out that the practice promoted collaborative interaction based on autonomy and the construction of scientific knowledge. In addition, it helped identify problems related to the dental conditions and the oral hygiene of teenagers.
