The oral health team (eSB) has been expanding since the 2000s with the advent of the Family Health Strategy, and with this comes the insertion of the Dental Surgeon (CD), Auxiliary in Oral Health (ASB) and Oral Health Technician (TSB) in primary care. This review study aims to evaluate the oral health and the conditions of the teams that work in the Family Health Strategy. As an methodology, an integrative review was used to search for publications in the VHL portal. For the discussion of the results the data were organized into three categories: (1) Employment Bond and Compensation; (2) Structural factors: physical structure and inputs; (3) The organization of the work process. It was found that there was an expansion of oral health teams and improved access, however, there is still a great demand, lack of municipal management, planning and insufficient permanent education for professionals.
