Esta investigación cualitativa tuvo como propósito interpretar los significados atribuidos por profesionales y pacientes a la gestión humanizada en la práctica odontológica especializada, para sustentar la propuesta de un modelo integral orientado a la calidad ética, técnica y humana. Se utilizó un diseño fenomenológico-hermenéutico, con entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesionales y pacientes de tres unidades odontológicas especializadas en el Centro de Atención a Pacientes con Enfermedades Infectocontagiosas. El análisis se realizó mediante codificación temática, de acuerdo con los procedimientos de la teoría fundamentada. Los resultados revelaron que la gestión humanizada se construye desde tres dimensiones interdependientes: la empatía profesional, la comunicación bidireccional y la coherencia institucional. No obstante, emergieron tensiones derivadas de la sobrecarga laboral, las limitaciones estructurales y la ausencia de políticas institucionales que promuevan la humanización como eje transversal. Se concluye que la gestión humanizada en odontología especializada requiere una visión integral sustentada en la ética del cuidado, la corresponsabilidad institucional y la formación bioética permanente.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: Specialized dental care for patients with infectious diseases requires a deep understanding of the human dimensions involved in clinical practice. This qualitative study aimed to interpret the meanings attributed by professionals and patients to humanized management in specialized dentistry, to support the design of an integral model focused on ethical, technical, and human quality. A hermeneutic phenomenological design was used, with semi-structured interviews conducted among professionals and patients from three specialized dental units in the Centro de Atención a Pacientes con Enfermedades Infectocontagiosas. Data was analyzed using thematic coding based on grounded theory procedures. The results revealed that humanized management is constructed through three interdependent dimensions: professional empathy, bidirectional communication, and institutional coherence. However, tensions emerged due to work overload, structural limitations, and the absence of institutional policies promoting humanization as a transversal axis. It is concluded that humanized management in specialized dentistry requires an integral vision grounded in the ethics of care, institutional co-responsibility, and continuous bioethical education.]]></p></abstract>
