Resumo: Purpose: This work aimed to identify and analyze the social representation of Dentistry by dental students of the State University of Montes Claros, Unimontes. Methods: Qualitative study design. A probabilistic, randomized, and stratified sample included 20 students: 10 female and 10 male students (two per school year). Data were collected using a semi-structured interview from March to July 2006. The key questions were: “What is the society view of Dentistry? What is your opinion on Dentistry?” Narrative data were transcribed and analyzed by content analysis. Results: Thee categories were identified: Dentistry – high value, Dentistry – low value, and Dentistry - problems. In this sample, 55% students raised problems in Dentistry: devaluation of the dental profession, reductionist view to teeth, trivialized profession and high costs, ethical problems such as disloyal competition. Conclusions: The relationship between Dentistry and the present society requires understanding of the social and health care structure and the dental professional role in this context. In education, the university should discuss the social commitment of Dentistry and educate health professionals to meet the real population needs and increase the dental profession impact. Key words: Students; Dentistry; qualitative research

Key words: Students; Dentistry; qualitative researchObjetivo: Este trabalho objetivou identificar e analisar as representações sociais da Odontologia junto aos acadêmicos da Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros, Unimontes. Metodologia: Estudo com delineamento qualitativo. A seleção da amostra foi probabilística, casual simples estratificada, compreendendo 20 acadêmicos, sendo 10 do sexo feminino e 10 do sexo masculino, e 2 estudantes de cada período da graduação. Para coleta de dados foi utilizada uma entrevista semi-estruturada no período de março a julho de 2006. As questões norteadoras foram: “Como a sociedade vê a Odontologia? Qual a sua visão da Odontologia?” Os dados coletados foram transcritos e analisados por análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Foram identificadas três categorias: Odontologia valorizada, Odontologia desvalorizada e Odontologia problema. A maioria (55%) dos entrevistados percebeu problemas no exercício da profissão: desvalorização da profissão, visão reducionista ao dente, banalização da profissão e seu alto custo, problemas éticos como a concorrência desleal. Conclusão: A relação da Odontologia com a sociedade atual requer compreender a estrutura social e de saúde e a inserção da profissão nesse contexto. Na educação, a universidade deve discutir o compromisso social da Odontologia e formar profissionais de saúde que atendam às reais necessidades da sociedade e que atuem em busca da valorização da profissão e do bem comum.
