Protocolo para organização da demanda do serviço de saúde bucal de acordo com o risco socioeconômico da população de Bonito de Minas

Abstract

The health service´s organization is a major challenge for the Equipes de Saúde da Família, because it needs a well done plan, which takes time and commitment of both managers, and of all other professionals involved in the various areas. With the inclusion of oral health services in Equipes de Saúde da Família (ESF) in 2003, some municipalities have set up their teams, but not planned, and was thus linked to the clinical care of the spontaneous demand of the population without prioritization. This work was based on the organization's demand for oral health services in Bonito de Minas, using as a tool to analyze data collected by surveys of socioeconomic conditions of the population in previous studies. Due to the inability of the individual attention of the entire population of the municipality, because of high demand, it is almost mandatory for production of protocols, which ensure uniformity in the dental schedule. Initially, we proceeded to review the literature on the subject, followed by a careful analysis of the data and the reality after the clinical experience have experienced the day-to-day by several professionals from the Equipes de Saúde da Família in the region, held is a local diagnosis. Suggested a protocol to organize the demand in the service of oral health in order to prioritize the care of needy families, respecting above all the guiding principles of the Health System: universality, comprehensiveness, equity and community participation. Criteria were established to enable the dental care according to family socioeconomic rating by providing more time to the attention of members of families with higher risk. Thus, more complex treatments will be avoided and many future complications will be prevented, which would decrease considerably, far greater costs to the public health system.
