Professional trajectory of postgraduate egress in Dentistry in Brazil : a literature review

Introduction: Many career perspectives are available within the dental sciences and with the continued growth and consolidation of postgraduate in Brazil these perspectives are even greater. Objectives: This article aims to review the current literature on the professional trajectory of masters and PhDs egress from brazilian postgraduate in dentistry. Methodology: A search was carried out on the most prestigious indexing bases within the CAPES assessment, which is currently Scopus, Web of Sciences and Google Scholar. Only 5 articles were within the scope of this research and were eligible to compose this review. Conclusion: The current medical literature is very poor in terms of the professional trajectory of masters and PhDs egress from Brazilian postgraduate studies in dentistry. Other studies must be carried out so that there is a more reliable parameter for collection and comparison between different studies and only in this way can a more consistent conclusion on this topic be established.

society or eradicate problems through new ideas, leadership profiles and new policies, in addition to making it possible to identify the contributions that the course played in the education of the student (Cequeira et al., 2009). Among the means of evaluating a postgraduate course, monitoring the professional or academic activities of egress has been highly valued (Ibid et al., 2009). In their daily work, graduates face complex situations, which lead them to confront the skills developed during the course with those required in professional practice. From there, it is possible to evaluate the adequacy of the pedagogical structure of the course that was experienced, as well as intervening aspects in the academic formation process (Meira & Kucgant, 2009). The insertion of Egress in the labor market is an important indicator for higher education managers to analyze the deficit areas and others with a large contingent of professionals (Moimaz, Santos, Garbin & Saliba, 2017).
Based on the above, this article aims to survey the current medical literature on the professional trajectory of egress of the postgraduate program at the stricto sensu level in dentistry.

Methodology
This study is a narrative review of the current medical literature on the professional trajectory of egress postgraduate students in dentistry at master and doctoral level. Based on the CAPES methodology, which currently honors the Impact Factor, Cit Score and H Index to classify the notes of the journals within the Sucupira Platform (CAPES, 2019), a scan was carried out on the Scopus, Google Scholar and Web of Sciences indexing portals, with the terms postgraduate, Brazil, dentistry, master's, PhD's and egress. A huge number of articles were found, but in the preliminary analysis, it was found that very little really fit the scope of the research. There are several studies on former graduate students and specialization in dentistry, but the literature is extremely poor when it comes to masters and PhDs in dentistry in Brazil. To the surprise of the authors of this review, there are only 5 articles in the entire medical literature worldwide that report a professional trajectory of master's and doctorate in dentistry in Brazil.
After the identification of these 5 articles, they were studied and certified with good quality by the authors of this review, and later these articles were summarized and inserted in this review. Research, Society and Development, v. 9, n. 8, e528985833, 2020 (CC BY 4

The Lattes Platform as the main research tool for the study of Egress.
Studies on data from scientific and technical productions have received attention from researchers, from different areas, who aim to gain knowledge about the evolution of research in general. Such studies allow the analysis of scientific production for different purposes and one of the challenges in this type of analysis is the diversity of repositories containing data in different formats and structures. Lattes Platform curricula are currently characterized as an important tool for researchers, academics and students to record their data, being widely used, being characterized as one of the largest repositories of data on scientific, technical, artistic and professional production, containing millions of researchers registered (Dias, Moita & Dias, 2016).
The curricula that make up the Lattes Platform have become a national standard used in the individual evaluation of scientific, academic and professional activities, aggregating data from researchers from all areas of knowledge, making the Platform an extremely rich source for investigating and understanding the behavior of diverse research groups (Digiampietri et al., 2012).
In Lane (2010) it is highlighted that measuring and evaluating academic and professional performance becomes a crucial factor for scientific life. Several factors to make this assessment and measurement are linked to the calculation of metrics, however, the current measurement systems are insufficient to determine reliable responses. The work
