The work process involved in population health surveys may interfere with the quality of generated information, which might be useful for population health surveillance analysis and decision making. Despite surveys being considered important to evaluation, there is only an incipient literature concerning the assessment of epidemiological surveys´ work process. This cross-sectional study, employing quantitative and qualitative approaches, aimed to assess the perception of the 2010 Brazilian Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil 2010) coordinators of the survey´s work process. An electronic semi-structured questionnaire was sent to all SBBrasil 2010 coordinators (N=213). The investigated variables were grouped into the following topics: respondents´ characteristics, role during the survey, qualification, operational aspects, interpersonal relationship, financial aid, advertisement, work experience, usefulness of the survey, self-assessment, future oral health surveys´ participation, and suggestions for future surveys. Response rate was of 75.6% (N=161). Most respondents were dentists (90%), aged between 30 and 49 years, females (68%), in management position (75.8%), permanent workers at the public health system (59.2%) and acted as municipal coordinators of the survey (77.6%). Reported positive aspects of the survey were: planning, training and calibration workshops, logistic support provided by both the health system and the surveys´ coordination, good relationship between staff, and survey acceptability by the participants selected for the sample and by the health professionals. The transport allowance/financial aid, the perception of inconsistency between the allowance granted and the delay in payment were considered negative aspects. The respondents reported the SBBrasil 2010 experience as useful to train staff to perform data collection and showed interest in participating in future oral health surveys. Of the seventeen aspects studied, only three were identified as shortcomings of the SBBrasil 2010's work process: the transport allowance, isolated cases of conflict between staff and conflict between members of the coordination. All of the other aspects were mainly facilitators of the work process. The most frequently cited suggestion for future surveys was changes in methods (34.4%), followed by general issues related to the conduction of the survey (31.1%) and also higher pay (23.3%). It is concluded that the perception of the coordinators of the National Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil 2010) of the work process studied was mainly positive. The results may contribute to the improvement of the health professionals´ work process in future oral health surveys.
