MARQUES, Jeidson Antonio Morais et al. Legal aspects of occupational assessments in Dentistry. RFO UPF [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.2, pp. 230-234. ISSN 1413-4012.

Occupational assessment in Dentistry is essential for the current context of both social and Employee-Employer relations. It provides the courts of justice with technical inputs that allow determining the proper order for labor and criminal issues. Objective: this study aimed to highlight, interpret, and discuss the legislation that qualifies and guides the role of the expert in the work environment. Literature review: hence, in addition to the interpretation of the clauses of inherent laws, we carried out a digital database search. Final considerations: it was possible to verify the importance of the expert's work in several forums, especially in assessing the extent of damage to employees due to accidents and oral diseases resulting from their work, and preventing these sort of problems.
