630. Master's thesis (oral health)

Dear colleagues,
My name is Ana Firmino, have basic training in Oral Hygiene since 2010 by FMDUL, I'm not exercising, and now I find myself preparing my master's thesis by ENSP-UNL, whose theme is related to the Oral Health .
Given the current economic conjecture of our country and according to the inequalities of access to the population is subject, in particular in relation to oral health as a public health component, increasingly it appears an oral health deterioration of our population and other associated problems.
Since it is a field of great concern to professionals in our area, mostly argue that oral health should be part and be 'delivered' to the population free of charge, not a right for us acquired described in the Constitution with the following words:

"1. Everyone has the right to health protection and the duty to defend and promote.
2. The right to health protection is achieved:
a) Through a national universal service and overall health, and bearing in mind the economic and social conditions of citizens, tend Free;
b) The creation of economic, social, cultural and environmental conditions that guarantee, specifically, the protection of children, youth and old age (...)
3. To ensure the right to health protection, primary duty to the state:
a) Ensuring access of all citizens, regardless of their economic circumstances, care of preventive medicine, curative and rehabilitative;
b) ensure a rational and efficient coverage of the whole country in human resources and health facilities (...). "

We know that in relation to oral health is not what is practiced in reality. Therefore, contact you with goals to request some information (studies, articles, papers, posters, etc.) relevant to me they can provide.
Essentially intend to make an introduction to the hygienist, dentist, stomatologist, dentist in order to highlight what roles and function of each of the oral health of the individual, how they can work together and how they complement each other.
I also want to address the supply and access to oral health in public and private side face the population's needs (No. professionals - those mentioned above, but essentially HO and MD - number of public and private spaces, perceived need of the population - the elderly , pregnant women, children and young people, HIV carriers, etc.).
Desire to seek out new approaches and programs applied in other reference countries (European or otherwise), avant-garde in this area and pointing positive results due to the implementation of their programs.
In order to address the aspect of Human Resource Management (number of professionals, number of professionals in service, number of professionals by type public or private, dentist check number issued by various levels and number of use thereof, results of programs oral health previously carried out, etc.) over the existing needs, we need reliable information and based on the evidence.
Still intend to compare results of oral health with other countries and its programs, finally intend to propose new methods and more effective programs that create larger population conditions for access to a public shed with equal access for all.
I really appreciate if I can provide as much information and I ask or think that may be relevant for my study.
I accept suggestions or some sort of guidance if they wish or deem necessary.
They will eventually require a statement of the institution to which I belong belongs, thank you ma request as soon as possible in order to carry out the project without further delay.
I await feedback.
Thanks,
Ana M. P. Firmino,
