The aim of this study was to compare the rates of implementation of Oral Health Teams in the 92 counties of the State of Rio de Janeiro, with the rates of dental procedures including first consultation, preventive procedures and basic procedures in the period 1998 to 2010. The results, obtained through secondary data provided by data sources from the Ministry of Health, showed that the growth in the rates of dental procedures was much more modest than the increase in coverage rates of Oral health teams in the studied period and that, after the implementation of these teams, there was no increase on rates of dental procedures. The only procedures that appear to have had anything to do with the activity of these teams, were the preventive procedures. It was concluded that, at least in the State of Rio de Janeiro, we cannot affirm that these Oral Health Teams (ESBs) have improved significantly the access to oral health care in recent years and that this should serve as a warning; before efforts are made to increase the number of ESBs, there should be an evaluation of why the desired improved access to dental care has not materialized.
