Comparative study of oral health indicators in primary care of a São Paulo State's city

To compare four oral health indicators (Income, Attrition, Modified Prevention Emphasis, Restoration/Extraction) and the 1st Consultation/Urgency Relationship in 15 Family Health Units and 11 Basic Health Units, in an interior city of São Paulo State, 2008-2011. The data were collected from SIA-SUS and the indicators compared through historical series using the non-parametric test (Mann Whitney) and descriptive statistics. Although there is a strengthening process of the Family Health Strategy, the care model represented by the Basic Health Units still proves more effective in some aspects of oral health in public service.
