Abstract

Objective: To analyze the basic care in oral health in the state of Goiás, considering the evolution of the population coverage of oral health teams and indicators of dental care in the period from 2001 to 2013.
Methods: This is a descriptive study based on secondary data on the population coverage of oral health teams and indicators of primary health care in oral health ‑ coverage of first dental programmatic consultation, coverage of collective dental brushing action, average basic individual dental procedures and the proportion of exodontia in relation to individual basic dental actions.
Results: There was an increase in the population coverage of oral health teams, mainly in Modality I. Despite the significant advances in primary health care in the state of Goiás between 2001 and 2013, the indicators reveal weaknesses in access and use of services, and the iniquities in the access and use of services between the municipalities of the state of Goiás, as well as the predominantly curative and mutilating nature of the traditional model of dental care.
Conclusions: It is necessary to develop strategies so that the expansion of the population coverage of oral health teams is accompanied by the increasing supply and use of services, with a gradual reduction of the mutilation procedures and the consolidation of an integral, resolutive and equitable assistance.
