Integrality is a principle of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) defended by the sanitary reform movement. It is a polysemic and democratic term for it considers several perceptions. For that reason, other kinds of knowledge were included in this paper in addition to the scientific one. Oral health can also be understood in various ways, since its limited meaning of mouth until a collective notion regarding health promotion precepts. Therefore it is possible to discuss integrality focusing on oral health. This research aims to identify possibilities for action seeking integrality for oral health in SUS and in social movements, according to their participants perceptions. Key people in knowledge building were selected to be interviewed, connecting scientific and popular knowledge, SUS and social movements participants. The methodology used was qualitative research and content analysis. The findings were divided into four categories: different meanings of integrality, perceptions of oral health in SUS, perceptions of oral health in social movements and possibilities for actions. Each category was then subdivided into subcategories. The main conclusions about the action possibilities are those related to re-integration, allowing a re-totalizing paradigmatic posture of the reality, the use of problem based learning strategies both in professional forming and in permanent education of SUS workers, building public policies and health models of attention aiming the integrality. Although health promotion was not described as a specific category, it undergoes most possibilities for actions mentioned, acting as a structural framework.
