They were selected through a simple random probabilistic sampling and assisted in the Stomatology Service of 30 de Noviembre Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba, from March, 2020 to the same month in 2021. The analyzed variables were occupational category of the prescriptor, prescriptors satisfaction and users satisfaction; for the last 2 variables, approaches, indicators and standards were established. Likewise, the survey as information collection method and the percentage as summary measure were used.

Results:

When evaluating the satisfaction of these prescriptors it was observed that in a single approach the indicator overcame discreetly (91.4%) the preset standard (90.0%) and in the rest the values were inferior to 50.0%. The evaluation of the users’ satisfaction showed that in any indicator the preset standard of 90.0% was accomplished.
