Sumario:Professional competencies (PC) and labor competencies (CL) in the health sector should be oriented to Primary Health Care (PHC). Objective: To determine the relationship between primary care CPs established by the Peruvian Dental Association (Colegio Odontológico del Perú, COP) and the CLs of dental surgeons working in first-level care centers. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study, in an intentional non-probabilistic sample, of 65 dental surgeons working in health facilities attached to the Directorates of Integrated Health Networks in Lima of the Ministry of Health (MINSA). A questionnaire was applied, structured on the basis of CP in PHC established by the COP and MINSA. Results: No relation was found between compliance with CP and CL. Conclusions: The relation established indicates that the level of care and the dental health promotion interventions will be useful.
