Abstract:

Objective: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the professional profile of the dentists who are part of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) team in municipalities of a region of Piauí (Brazil) in order to try to explain the reasons why those dentists take some primary health care actions. Methods: The study covered the nineteen municipalities of the region. The sample consisted of 111 dentists and data collected was carried out from August to December 2008 using a form. An Excel  database was created for the statistical analysis. Results: The dentists were predominantly female, aged 20-39 years, and with one to five years of professional experience. Most of them are specialists in a clinical field of dentistry and do domiciliary care visits. However, these visits are often in the absence of the health team and in low frequency. The dentists also rarely take part in meetings with the health team. Conclusion: The results indicate that the problems that were found are likely to be the same of other regions of the country. The lack of interdisciplinary professional approach is an issue to address properly when examining the role of the dentist and their unquestionable participation on the family health strategy.
