The objective of this study was to report the collective construction process of the Expanded Clinic (EC) in Dentistry, through permanent health education. This descriptive study is a documentary based in the analysis of the topics in the records of the weekly meetings of the Permanent Commission for the Evaluation of the Expanded Clinic (CEEC), Department of Dentistry, State University of Maringá (UEM), from the first half of 2010 to the first half of 2017. The data were interpreted using the content analysis method recommended by Bardin. The documents pointed out that the impacts of collegial management on the UEM dental clinic's operation were: greater problem solving, less difficulty in confrontations and greater commitment, more efficient case planning and satisfaction of all in this collective construction process. As products of the collective discussions and constructions carried out by CEEC, we can cite three basic documents: Single record; Expanded Clinic's Instructional and Manual. This study allowed us to conclude that the construction and improvement of the EC have occurred continuously over seven years, resulting from an effort and synergy of the team. The weekly meetings of CEEC are the space where collegial management is consolidated and listening, and potentialities are legitimized. Several issues emerged from problems detected daily. There were discussion and reflection, and proposals were elaborated aiming at the improvement of service and teaching, as recommended by the National Humanization Policy.
