Introduction:
in 2010, the first chapter of the Alliance for a Caries-Free Future was established in Colombia with a group of leaders in dentistry interested in generating contextualized intervention strategies that would allow integrating the elements of the Health System to guarantee dental caries-free communities with actions aimed at the early childhood population. The objective was to evaluate the impact of the Alianza project on children under 5 years of age who intervened in Comuna 20 of Cali during the period 2011 to 2018.
Methods:
based on the RE-AIM framework coverage, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance and access, were identified to know the impact of keeping children free from cavitation cavities.
Results:
89% of the population under 5 years of age has benefited from educational actions and the application of fluoride varnish, increasing the caries-free population from 34 to 57%, the project has been maintained thanks to the teaching-service agreement and the intersectoral workspaces. 54% of the children visited at home have had access to individual care services by a dentist, only 30% of the initial protocol was maintained under the Family Health strategy.
Conclusions:
the project has allowed the articulation of actions, resources, and wills for the development of inter-institutional actions in favor of oral health of the early childhood population, in the time evaluated, a significant advance is evidenced in the individual and population indicators with the active and permanent participation of Cali institutions in this alliance.
