ABSTRACT
Background: A quality management system is a valuable tool for improving public health services.Objective: To describe the current state of orthodontic quality management service to contribute to the patients’ quality care with dentofacial abnormalities.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2020 and July 2021 at the Sancti Spíritus provincial and teaching stomatology center. Three managers and 12 members of the basic orthodontic team were selected. The following variables were measured: level of information and quality management practices. Theoretical, empirical and descriptive statistical methods were used.
Results: 50 % of the basic team members had a low level of information on the orthodontic quality management service. 100 % of them also their managers, showed moderately adequate practices in three of the five aspects evaluated.
Conclusions: The orthodontic quality management service allowed us to determine that, although there are managers with work experience and a basic team with scientific-technical preparation, a low level of information prevailed, as well as moderately adequate practices on quality management.
