Abstract

Objective: To analyze the performance of dental care procedures in the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil and regions, 2008 - 2018. Methods: Time series study with data obtained from the Outpatient Information System. Annual rates of dental procedures per 100,000 inhabitants, global and according to procedures and Brazilian regions were calculated from 2008 to 2018. Prais-Winsten regression was used to analyze time trends and annual percentage changes were calculated. Results: Decreasing trends were found in Brazil for Collective actions (-13.5% – 95%CI -21.1;-5.2), Individual preventive actions (-6.2% – 95%CI -7.7;-4.8), Restorations (-7.3% –95%CI -10.5;-3.9) and Extractions (-6.9 – 95%IC -10.5;-3.1%). Endodontics and Periodontics showed stationary trends for most regions and Brazil. Prosthetic procedures showed an upward trend in all regions and Brazil (16.9% – 95%CI 9.1;25.2). Conclusion: Dental care procedures in SUS decreased between 2008 and 2018, except for prosthetic procedures whose production increased.
