Abstract

To guarantee the integrality of care, it is important to emphasize the participation of Dental Surgeons in the context of primary care, including the completion of Dental Prenatal, allowing dental care during this period. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of dental prenatal care by Dental Surgeons of Primary Health Care belonging to the health micro-regions under the jurisdiction of the Regional Health Superintendence of Juiz de Fora (SRS-JF/MG) and to discuss possible impacts on the new primary care funding. This is an observational cross-sectional study, carried out through a web survey with the application of a sociodemographic and dental prenatal practice questionnaire. It was directed to 170 Dental Surgeons belonging to the 37 municipalities of the Minas Gerais micro-region. Data were analyzed using the Jamovi statistical software, adopting a 95% confidence interval and significance level (p<0.05). Among the respondents, 69.1% perform the Dental Prenatal, and their workload at the Basic Health Unit is the main limiting factor for carrying out this activity. Therefore, it is concluded that the Dental Surgeons of the APS belonging to the municipalities that make up the SRS-JF/MG perform dental prenatal care, with the workload being the main limiting factor for the achievement of improvements in this indicator.
