Sentidos da docência em Odontologia: memorial

This memorial meets the criteria established for the promotion to Class E - Holder - of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). It constitutes the analysis of my professional trajectory and the opportunity to give visibility to my way of thinking and acting as a professor at this institution. I attribute qualitative meanings and values to the quantitative values established in reports, tables, graphs, and spreadsheets that accompanied my teaching, research, and extension activities in these 25 years of academic life and, especially, in these last 10 years. The year 2017 has a special meaning: a (re)start.
