FORECAST BY HIRING THE PARANÁ MILITARY POLICE OF TEMPORARY OFFICERS IN INSTITUCIONAL HEALTH VS. INTERNAL COMPETITION: DENTISTRY AREA

Abstract

The goal of this study, based on relevant literature and legislation, was to analyze the real need for hiring temporary officers to provide oral health services to the Paraná Military Police (PMPR), rather than through an internal selection process, given that a considerable number of the force's members already have degrees in dentistry. This article employed qualitative exploratory research and a deductive method, combined with bibliographical, documentary, and related literature. The results demonstrated the importance of dental professionals for military police officers, promoting their physical and mental well-being, boosting their performance, and contributing to improving their quality of life. The proposal for hiring through an internal selection process could substantially meet the demand and need for dental services, as the research demonstrated the need to expand this service given the shortage of dentists in the PMPR. The conclusion is that implementing this system of valuing professionals in this field, through a team of the institution's own permanent employees, has the potential to bring positive effects to the corporation, as it does not result in a payroll burden, but rather a considerable reduction in medium-term costs for the institution.
