Sumario: Objective: To prepare an inventory of public resources for oral health care in the Autonomous Valencian Community (Spain).Methods: A descriptive study of human and dental material resources involved in public oral health service was done. The hospitals, primary care and specialty centers of the 22 health departments were visited and structured interviews were conducted for staff.Results: Of the 120 centers, 99 were primary care, followed by specialties and hospitals. There were instrumental for examination and surgery but there were not for surgical, endodontic and periodontal procedures at many health care centres. The existence of equipment was similar for all, a good supply was perceived to computers in most of them. It was also noted good physical and dental facilities.Conclusions: For the first time, it was done an inventory of human and material resources for public dental care, reflecting the existence of a significant number of professionals, but insufficient to meet the new benefits for the children of the Valencian Community. It was generally felt good supply, however, requires more human resources, materials and proper equipment for the treatment dental caries, periodontal and pulpal disease.
