Abstract:

The Regional Specialized Dental Care Center in Sobral-Ceará (CEO-R), has characteristics that make it unique: it has regional coverage, is managed by a Local Health Consortia (which comprises 24 cities) and works in conjunction with the School of Dentistry, Federal University of Ceará - Campus Sobral, congregating in the same space and service academy. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the accessibility to specialized care in this region with the implementation of this CEO-R. We conducted a descriptive exploratory study with a quantitative approach, through the collection and analysis of secondary data supply and usage of this service in addition to the application of semi-structured interview to Oral Health Coordinators of 24 municipalities. The results showed that the CEO-R is prepared to meet the demand. However, we found geographic, financial and organizational barriers which explains the low rates of utilization of appointments and use the service and the high rate of absents, causing a significant financial impact on consortium municipalities.
