This area is provided with information regarding the quality assessment on providers of oral health care. The designation Oral Health relates to the intention to include the various types of care available - dentistry, dentistry, dentistry ... - a global and comprehensive area.
Until the emergence of SINAS (national system for health assessment), Oral Health in Portugal, was not subject to any assessment in terms of quality of services: nonexistent to date in our country, systematic and structured work in assessing the quality for Oral health; addition, there was a lack of an aggregator document the indications and clinical guidelines for use in daily practice, despite the existence of technical manuals. Aiming to fill this gap in terms of documentary systematization, a working group dedicated to the production of a system of quality assessment for the area of oral health, which could be integrated in SINAS Project was created.
The group with the collaboration of external elements to the Regulatory Authority for Health (ERS), invited by his experience and recognized merit, trying to cover various areas of clinical and technical expertise from the field of oral health care to the quality, hygiene and safety. It is not intended here to evaluate clinical practice in technical or ethical dimension, but rather to assess the existence and adherence to procedures and requirements leading to better quality of services.
