Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify and analyze the ethical difficulties present in the Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde Bucal de 2010 (National Oral Health Survey). This is a qualitative research, in wich interviews were carried out with 12 members of the Management Group and the Advisory Technical Committee of the Ministry of Health, in addition to two coordinators, one State and the other Municipal. The discourse of the collective subject technique was used. Six central ideas were identified, among which are convince the municipal manager who does not want to release the professional to carry out the research; to negotiate in places where the Municipal and State administrations are from different political parties. The refusals to participate took place at two levels: dental surgeons and municipal health managers. In both cases, there is an important violation of responsibility, both individual and public.
