Abstract
Qualitative research with a phenomenological basis (case study) whose objective was to analyze the senses attributed to clinical practices of Primary Care (PC) dentists in the care health production. Semi-structured interviews guided by a script of guiding questions with dentists who worked in the PC and unstructured observation of clinical routine and records of field diary of these professionals were used for data collection. Sampling was intentional, following the theoretical saturation criteria and density of the textual material produced (n=11). Results showed dentists with clinical practices capable producing subjectivities and connection characterized by reception of listening and dialogue with the user and by the agreement of a shared therapeutic plan and in constant reconstruction, opposite to a dental-focused assistance, based on necessities diagnosed exclusively by the professional. The user has been recognized as a subject as experimentation and social interaction whose necessities of the lived-body go beyond those of a physical body. Pedagogic innovation proposals in health field curricula should provide theoretical foundation and practical activities that includes subjectivities as one of the dimensions of production mode of the health care and the health relational technologies.
