Relatório de atividade clínica

Abstract

Dentistry, as a medical field, not only is it responsible for the zeal of its own specific area of clinical intervention, but also the patient's well being at the systemic level and at its various dimensions: physical, mental and social. That being, it finds itself suffering constant evolution, requiring a concomitant transformation of its clinical techniques, scientific knowledge and ethical grounds for the professionals who practice it. This paper proposes itself to illustrate each of these competences, using for it, the clinical and scientific work carried out by the author at the University Dental Clinic of the Portuguese Catholic University, seeking to characterize it according to clinical and scientific parameters that assert themselves to be relevant to such endeavor. To attain such goal, a statistical analysis of the clinical acts performed by the author and of certain idiosyncrasies of the served population sample is made. By the same token, an interpretation, illustration and resolution of clinical cases is also performed. It seeks to illustrate the current state-of-the-art and its respective concepts, which derive themselves from scientific evidence, aiming at providing an epidemiological and clinical reading of the assisted population, as well as rendering an informed look of clinical situations encountered and of the scientific challenges to be considered.
