That is the case, among others, of Senators, Renato Casagrande and João Ribeiro, and the president of the Brazilian Association of Intensive Care Medicine, the doctor Álvaro Réa-Neto, who in recent interviews to the ABO National Journal, said he was at the disposal of ABO in various causes advocated by the entity.

Last year, the work of ABO about including dentists in teams of Intensive Care Units (ICUs) has led to a bill that requires the participation of such professionals in this hospital setting. The initiative has the unrestricted support of the intensive medical community, represented by Amib, which created the Department of Dentistry Amib-ABO, common to both entities and presided by the dentist Teresa Marcia Nascimento de Moraes, aiming to join forces to approve the bill and make professionals of the two areas aware on the importance of this service. According to Réa-Neto, "ABO's support is essential to disseminate information about the importance of the dentist in the intensive care units, because healthcare professionals lack knowledge on how the absence of appropriate dental care, for example, can cause terrible impact on the health of a critical patient."

The inclusion of dentists in ICUs teams was also advocated by Senator João Ribeiro, to whom the initiative benefits professionals and the society. "I believe that the proposed inclusion of dentists in the ICU setting is a good initiative as it can reduce cases of infection, especially lung infections, in hospitals. For dentists the measure is also positive because it means the opening of new jobs for the contingent of professionals in the market," he said. Ribeiro recalled that, at a meeting sponsored by ABO in Brasília, with federal authorities of the public power, the national president of the entity, Norberto Francisco Lubiana, presented the demands of the class, promptly defended by the senator. "I understand that, in general, senators are sensitive to the demands of health professionals - especially those of a class that sums over 220 thousand professionals in the country," considered, highlighting ABO's national actuation in defense of Brazilians oral health. Today, it is an entity engaged in national issues and participating in major discussions about oral health. Everybody in Brasília knows that no decision in the oral health area should occur without ABO participation."

For Senator Renato Casagrande, “the Brazilian Dentistry was never so well represented in the government as now, because in recent years, ABO is getting increasingly close to the parliament, what is very good for the professionals it represents, as well as for the whole population." The direct relationship of public power with entities of the society places population priorities in the discussions of politicians, believes the senator. "The federal government, in its current management, had made good progress regarding oral health public policies, but the Senate cannot give up interacting with the government and the population. Attention to the oral health by the public power is still a recent phenomenon. We have much work to do."
