Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the contribution of a Pedagogical Project of Collective Oral Health in the education of the Odontology Undergraduate student in the perspective of the Single Health System principles, of the promotion of oral health and the family health care, through the student’s view using the social research with a qualitative approach.
The project obtained an approval index of 92%. The aspects that contributed the most were the actions developed during the clinical cycle followed by the primary cycle. These actions are related to the first contact with the aspects of the collective health and the social health, showing new tendencies in the oral health/disease care process, creating room in the teaching learning process to critically reflect on the odontology in terms of the preventive perspective in relation to the appeal the current traditional curative clinical care exerts on students.
This is a simple experience that has attempted to obtain positive responses to one of the most challenging problems for the effective implementation of the Single Health System – the formation of a prepared and sensible professional able to meet the population’s health needs and who understands the importance and impact of the socio economic, political and cultural dimensions in the health care delivery.
