Undergoing clinical training for hypertension management and seeing fewer numbers of patients on a daily basis was associated with a statistically higher level of adherence to the guidelines (P value less then .05).Improper distribution of guidelines, lack of continuous clinical training, negative attitude of physicians toward guidelines and large number of patients seen by physicians are likely to hinder translating guidelines to actual clinical practice.This study evaluated the factors associated with the performance of Brazilian Oral Health Teams (OHTs).This is multilevel research that used data from 12,386 Brazilian OHTs in 2012. The OHTs performance was estimated in previous research by using Item Response Theory model, which employed 20 questions about dental procedures in Primary Care. The first level covariates were based on OHTs procedures such as the record of pregnant woman dental appointment, provision of dentistry home care, dental appointments scheduled choices, and OHTs in charge for more than 5000 individuals. Moreover, the use of guidelines was accessed concerning delivering prostheses in primary care, referring to secondary care, referring to suspected oral cancer, and providing care towards patients with special needs. Variables included in level 2 were GINI and Human Development Index. Multilevel linear regression models were constructed, estimating linear regression coefficients, 95% confidence intervals, and P values.OHTs performance was different among the 3,613 municipalities analyzed (P  less then  .001), with 36.7% of the variation in the performance of the OHTs being attributed to the variability between municipalities. The adjusted model showed that higher performance OHTs reported attention to pregnant women, dentistry home care and use of dental care guidelines (P  less then  .001). There were lower performance scores for those OHTs with more restricted scheduling (P  less then  .05), compared to those
