【 摘 要 】

This article discusses the structuring of health care networks in the Unified Health Care System, detailing the main priority thematic networks. It is argued that the transversal insertion of oral health in priority networks makes the specific demands of the area invisible. It is argued that the oral health care network has all the elements to constitute a priority network, with points of care, logistical and diagnostic support. It is concluded that it is necessary to place dental management beyond the primary health care division in order to develop a specific network, and strengthen the municipal and state dental management instances.
