Given this finding, it was suggested to examine the existence e type of dental care provided by companies in the metropolitan region on Campinas. In order to improve the quality of life of workers and reduce absenteeism, many businesses have dental care services, contracted or convened to your clinical care as well as their dependents. Questionnaire was sent by electronic mail to 115 companies of medium and large registered in CIESP (Centre of Industries of the State of Sao Paulo) and only 35 responded. According to the classification of CIESP, medium company are those that have from 100 to 499 employees and has great when more than 500 employees. The results showed that 27 (77%) companies offer the service of dental care to their workers as a benefit, and that most hires services of others. The cooperative was the type of dental provider of dental care contracted by 16 (67%) companies. Has been identified in only one company the integration of the dentist of the team SESMT (Service Specializes in Safety and work Medicine). Of the companies surveyed, 13 (37%) reported conducting some type of activity preventive dental, and the speeches given during the SIPAT (work accident prevention week) activity more prevalent (77%). It is concluded that the dental assistance for workers is a reality in companies of medium and large. In Brazil, this benefit is not mandatory, leaving it to the company decide on its implementation or not. Although the benefits are clear that the deployment of dental services can bring to workers, there are more tangible and updated data on the oral health of the worker.
