Abstract

This is a descriptive study, the integrative review type of literature on the formation of human resources for health, with an emphasis on academic education of dental students, taking as humanization focus based on the National Humanization Policy (PNH). The reflections here presented were collected from items available in electronic databases, such as SciELO, BIREME and LILACS. The aim was to put in evidence the importance of debate and deepen the humanization theme in the training of dental students process considering that the academic environment constitutes an appropriate place, since it produces knowledge, are formed ideas and creators. It is necessary to humanize education to humanize the only health system, that is, enable the construction of a new profile of academic dentistry that can develop humanized health actions within the health services. Although there is a sum of efforts to change the current scenario, the biomedical paradigm and hard technologies still dominate the education of the student.
