The Evaluation Report of the Contracting of the Year 2004 specifically that between the years 2000 and the year 2004 were covered 143 289 children and young people by the Program for Promotion of Oral Health.
Given the data from the National Institute of Statistics for 2004, Portugal had 1 648 996 for children between 0 and the 14 years of age and from 1 360 606 young people between 15 and 24 years of age. Making an extrapolation, the number of children and adolescents aged 6 to 16 years (ages covered by the program) would be around 1 261 519. This means that, after five years of the program, it covered only 11 in every 100 children and young people in age to be answered (or 89 in every 100 children and young people were left out in access to that program) .
Some some positive and negative aspects referred to by the managers of the Program in ARS's:
-It was the late-starting the process of contracting which has limited activities of the programme;
-The gap between the school year and the calendar year prevents better enforcement of contracts;
-Shortage of human resources in the Health Centres, for the amount of work that is necessary to achieve and that conditioned the final outcome;
-Delays in payments to health care professionals oral contract, with far beyond the time stipulated in the contracts;
-Delays in delivery of deployable by professionals hired;
-Handicapped-quality records in Fiche traveller Oral Health;
-Greater involvement of Health and Centers for oral health professionals;
-The mobility of children complicates its location and routing;
-Most of caries in children target of contracting, were treated at the end of the programme, however "some" professional contractors have a large number of caries by deal by the end of the programme;
-For many children this was the first opportunity to benefit from an oral intervention.
