Abstract:

Objective: To characterize the construction of the regionalized health network, focusing on oral health care, identifying problems and progress in its implementation process. The context followed the suggested national network model for policies that guides the Unified Health System. Method: This is a descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach, methodologically supported by Grounded Theory. Interviews were conducted with managers, health professionals and teachers, graduated in Dentistry, forming three intentional sample groups. Results: The core category was named Reinforcing the interaction of oral health care in the health network, in the regionalization process. In the theoretical model, the enhancement of interactions arises from conditions as: The characterization of oral health care in the regionalized health network; The identification of difficulties in the implementation process and The analysis of the oral health care network operation. Conclusion: The inclusion of oral health in the network is in an early stage, sometimes detached from the set of relations that constitutes the health network, which is also in consolidation. Evidence gathered in this study indicates the regionalized health care network structuring as a condition to bring oral health care to a new level of assistance.
