Regulation of dental consultations in primary health care and performance of services in dental speciality centers.

Objective: This study analyzed the regulation of dental specialty centers (CEOs) coordinated exclusively by Primary Health Care (PHC) in four primary outcomes: access and dental consultation, reception services, bonding and responsibility, and social participation.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out using secondary data from the National Program for the Improvement of Access and Quality of Dental Specialty Centers (PMAQ-CEO): second cycle, using multilevel logistic regression to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and individual covariates.

Results: The analytical sample consisted of 9,599 CEO users who had completed all the variables analyzed.
