Performance of Specialized Dental Care Centers considering the sociodemographic context of municipalities of the Amazonas State (Brazil, 2009)

The study evaluated the compliance of performance goals of the Centers for Dental Specialties of the state of Amazonas, using secondary data from the SIA-SUS, considering the structural variables of establishments, comprehensiveness of basic health care and sociodemographic indicators of municipalities. Thirteen centers were assessed. One establishment of Manaus and the Maués and Parintins showed better performance in relation to the global compliance of goals. Coverage of Oral Health Teams in primary care seems not to follow the performance of establishments. The results suggest that the performance of the Centers is related to the sociodemographic characteristics of the municipalities.
