Assessing the potential effectiveness of oral health promotion strategies in primary health care in Brazil

- Our results showed significant differences in oral heath promotion amongst distinct Brazilian regions.
- The highest scores were seen in the richest Southeastern and Southern regions where health promotion strategies were followed.
- The lowest scores were seen in the Central-Western and Northern regions, which are much poorer regions.
- These findings indicate that promoting equity through our National health policies is important to provide equal access to health for everyone.
