“…That is, in most cases, "the doctor became hemiplegic, just walking with his technical and scientific "leg", with shrinking or growing paralysis of the other, the humanized relationship with his patient and his therapeutic value". It is important to note that Dentistry remains the specialty that most people are afraid of due the endless invasion of their intimate space 4,31 .…”

Introduction: a good oral health is essential to the existence of a good systemic health. Nevertheless, tooth decay is one of the major problems of public health of our days. Taking this into account, to combat this problem it is the duty of health professionals to promote patient education so that they can adopt habits that prevent the onset of the same disease or its recurrence. Objectives: to use pictograms and macro models in order to promote the cooperation and participation of the child, reinforcing the importance of non-verbal language in the dentistry setting. Methods: we created original health education instruments, mainly based on pictograms, for children between 5 and 7 years of age. Results: nonverbal communication allows a relational bond between therapist and child, enabling the continuity of work and active participation of the child. Conclusion: the application of pictograms in children in pediatric dentistry setting may be an asset in health education, promoting a more focused perspective on the patient as well as their active role in it.

Objective: To evaluate the access of adolescents aged 15 to 19 years with heart disease to oral health services at a reference hospital in the city of Recife, Brazil. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Cardiology Clinic of Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP) from April to September 2015 using a convenience sample of 83 adolescents with heart disease. A questionnaire was administered in interview form to adolescents and/or parents/guardians to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics, the use of dental services and oral health habits. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and association tests (chi-square test and Fisher's exact test), with the significance level set to 5% to identify possible associated factors. Results: Fifty-two adolescents (62.7%) had never been denied dental care due to their condition. Public services accounted for 66.3% of the care offered. Checkup/prevention was the main reason for seeking care (39.8%). Many of the adolescents exhibited inadequate oral hygiene habits. Forty-four (53%) did not brush their teeth regularly at night and 66 (79.5%) did not floss. No statistically significant association was found between access to dental care and social class (p=0.148), with whom the adolescent resided (p=0.607), birth order (p=0.598), race (p=0.068), education level of the head of the household (p=0.828) or scholastic failure on the part of the adolescent (p=0.196). Conclusion: Most adolescents with heart disease obtained dental care, although most did not have adequate hygiene habits. Moreover, socio-demographic, psychosocial and behavioral factors exerted no influence on access to oral health services. Further studies on this issue are needed.

“…In the explanation of the drawings, volunteers said sentences like "the dentist is a hero to me, the doctor saves lives and the dentist saves our teeth", "the dentist is cool, polite and gentle" and "the dentist helps prevent diseases". Researchers [23] sought to identify the characteristics of the ideal dentist among 697 students from public schools of Pouso Redondo (Santa Catarina) and verify its relationship with anxiety to dental treatment. For this characterization, the principles of the Free Association of Words were adopted, in which two categories were created: personal characteristics and professional characteristics.…”

Objective: To evaluate the perceptions of students aged 05-12 years about dentists through the interpretation of drawings. Material and Methods: This is a crosssectional study whose sample consisted of 1015 children aged 5-12 years from 10 public schools of Salvador, Brazil. The students produced drawings about their main idea associated with the dentist and answered a semi-structured interview consisting of seven items. Results: Males (521 volunteers -51.3%) were more prevalent than females (494 volunteers, 48.6%), 688 (67.7%) children had experienced dental care, and need for treatment was the reason for seeking dental care to 306 (30.1%) of them. In describing the professional using one word, positive words totaled 805 (79.1%) responses, negative words accounted for 24 (2.2%) and 186 (18.3%) participants could not answer. The drawing category that had the largest number of volunteers was "Procedures", with 238 (23.4%) drawings, followed by: "Dental Consultation" with 228 (22.4%), "Other Professionals" with 174 (17.1%), "Dentist" with 115 (11.3%), "Oral Health" with 71 (6.9%), "Miscellaneous" with 71 (6.9%), "Dental Office" with 55 (5.4%), "Mouth" with 36 (3.5%) and "Pain / Fear" with 27 (2.6%). Conclusion: Drawings were effective in representing the particular vision of students and showed a plurality and complexity of concepts and ideas related to the dentist. In addition to procedures and consultation, professional behavior, knowledge transmitted to patients, physical environment and experienced sensations, factors linked to the origin of the main idea about the professional were also relevant. The perception of volunteers was positive both in the drawings as in the responses of the semi-structured interview.
