Introduction: Dental follow-up in prenatal care represents a unique strategy with interdisciplinary action for the prevention of injuries in pregnant women and complications during childbirth. Objective: To identify the interdisciplinarity in prenatal dental care from the nurses’ perspective. Methodology: This will be a qualitative approach study with based on the Gadamer and Habermas's hermeneutics-dialectic in six primary health care units in a metropolis in Northeast Brazil, with six nurses through in-depth interviews in 2018. The organization of the data occurred through Minayo´s thematic analysis. Results: After the thematic analysis, the categories of “The interdisciplinary care of the doctor, dentist, and nurse” and “Nurse referral during prenatal dental care” were evidenced. There are implications for the development of interdisciplinary practices in prenatal dental care such as weaknesses in the continuity of care, communication, and the team’s interaction. Conclusion: There is a need to expand the comprehensiveness for the quality in the development of healthcare for pregnant women and the reduction of maternal and neonatal complications in populations of Brazilian women.

Con el objetivo de comprender las prácticas colaborativas al interior de los equipos interprofesionales para el seguimiento odontológico prenatal en atención primaria de la salud, se realizó un estudio cualitativo exploratorio descriptivo con trabajadores directamente implicados en el cuidado prenatal del municipio de Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Para ello, entre junio y agosto de 2018, se llevaron a cabo 24 entrevistas individuales semiestructuradas en profundidad; la información obtenida se organizó aplicando el análisis temático, la fundamentación teórica y la interpretación se sustentan en la hermenéutica dialéctica. Los discursos revelaron tres categorías: percepciones profesionales acerca de la práctica colaborativa, desafíos de la colaboración interprofesional y prácticas de colaboración en el equipo. Se verificó una percepción favorable de los profesionales acerca de la colaboración interprofesional en el cuidado materno-infantil; sin embargo, en algunos casos, la práctica laboral interdisciplinaria dista de efectivizarse por la existencia de barreras que dificultan su concreción.
