Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the development stage of the oral healthcare network of the Brazilian Unified Health System in the state of Minas Ger-ais, Brazil.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study was conducted with205 municipal oral health coordinators from the state. Data collection was car-ried out through a validated questionnaire to analyze the state of developmentof the oral health care network. Descriptive and cluster analysis were performed,and two clusters were generated.Results: The total median score of the questionnaires classified Minas Gerais as astate with incipient oral health care networks and a minimal capacity to operatesuch networks, reflected in the predominance of cluster 1 in the sample. There wasno statistical association between age, time since graduation, and time spent work-ing as a coordinator and the clusters (Mann–Whitney test). The coordinators’ gen-der and educational level were also not statistically associated with the clusters(Pearson’s chi-square and Fisher’s exact, respectively).Conclusion: There is a great need to improve the organization of services of theoral health care network in Minas Gerais. This can be done through improvementsin its operational structure, as well as investment in management training.
