Scientific articles were reviewed with keywords as health social determinants, oral health, and health situation analysis. Boolean operators "and, or" were used.
Results: 18 articles were found relevant to the subject, more than 70 % corresponds to the last five years; the historical transition from the concept of oral component of the health situation analysis and its links to the social determinants of health was discussed.
Conclusions: the oral health situation analysis requires a change of focus, from a biologic approach to health-based focus. The inclusion of health social determinants in the process is a guarantee for its improvement towards raising quality. The model of the WHO conceptual framework facilitates the theoretical basis and it constitutes a vital tool to guide the process, it is feasible to implement, dialectical, effective and sustainable.
