To evaluate the processing of dental products in basic health units in the capital of Rondônia. Cross-sectional study conducted in 13 units with collection in three stages: filling out a questionnaire, non-participant observation and reading of records. Compliance in the processing of products was evaluated in accordance with the recommendations and regulations in force in Brazil. Just over half of the units have an exclusive purge room (53.8%) and there were nonconformities related to lighting (69.3%), potable water (100%) and lack of adequate brushes (46.2%). All units offered personal protective equipment. Only 18.6% used adequate detergents or descaling soap and 100.0% of the products were washed manually. The main nonconformities were the use of abrasive material (46.2%), non-use of glasses or masks (100.0%), non-correct inspection after washing (100.0%), inadequate preparation of chemical disinfection solutions (77.0%) and 84.6% did not rinse with abundant water. The processing of dental products in in primary care in Porto Velho has weaknesses that can lead to infections related to health care.
