Abstract

Introduction: this paper offers an empirical and conceptual exploration of the dental chart, a daily dental practice device to assess dental status. It is built on the "ontological turn" and recent affect theories to reflect beyond the epistemological concept of representation. The text aims to understand the material, bodily and affective relationships put into action in dental training regarding the dental chart. Materials and methods: a dental education program located in an intermediate city in Colombia was taken as a case study, mainly what happened in clinical practices and faculty meetings. For the analysis, it started from the "ethnographic moment" notion proposed by Marilyn Strathern. Results: there were found diverse situations which showed the capacity of the dental chart to articulate affections such as discussing conventions, filling out the clinical records formats with a pencil, moving the chair of the dental unit to see the teeth, drying with the triple syringe, explaining subtle differences between anatomy and pathology, and evaluating the dental charts made by the students. Conclusions: the relationship between the patient's mouth and the dental chart is complex and mutually excessive, enabling a richer experience of the teeth. Finally, speculative questions are left open to think about how the dental chart may blur the limits between the biological and the social.
