Abstract:

The study evaluated the secondary care in endodontics at Dental Specialties Centers (DSC) of Belo Horizonte-MG. A data collect used two forms: (1) about the endodontic treatment, filled by endodontists; and (2) about the restorative treatment, datathe medical records. The results were analyzed by frequency and percentiles using the SPSS 19.0 program. A total of 452 endodontic treatments were completed. Patients presented a median of 39 years old, the majority were female (69.7%) and presented a primary care (PC) reference form (96.2%). Most of the endodontic treatments were performed in upper premolars (23.7%) followed by lower molars (22.3%), using a mixed technique (74.1%) and in a single session (64.2%). The referral for restorative treatment was to the DSC in 81.2% and was completed in 24.1% of the cases (n=109). The counter-reference after the restorative treatment occurred in 58.7% of completed cases. It is necessary a joint planning of the dental treatment between primary and secondary care and among the specialties, besides an adequate process of reference and counter-referral to guarantee the integrality of care and the efficiency and effectiveness of care.
