Abstract (English): Introduction: The evaluation of professional competencies in general dentists is a constant concern for health systems, since the quality of the service they offer and the oral health of the population depend on it.

Method: A descriptive study was conducted with 55 dentists, linked to the community, who were working at the time of the investigation and gave their informed consent to participate. It was developed in 2 stages: first, selection of experts and identification of the competencies to be evaluated; second, evaluation of the professional competencies in the selected dentists, using previously established standards. To collect the primary data, observations were made, patients' medical records were reviewed, and a written exam was applied. The results were summarized and the percentage was applied as a summary measure. Results: Using the expert criteria method, seven professionals were selected and evaluated, achieving more than 90.0% in all cases. During the general skills assessment, 92.7% of them were found to be adequate. Conclusion: Significant results were found in the evaluation of professional skills in the dentists of Baire Teaching Polyclinic, with the majority being adequate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
