Estudo de 19 anos dos procedimentos odontológicos realizados no Sistema Único de Saúde brasileiro.

Background: Public health in Brazil has undergone major changes in recent decades. Objective: To describe the overview of dental production performed by the Brazilian Unified Health System from 1999 to 2017 in Brazil and its macroregions. Method: Data were obtained from the Outpatient Information System (SIA/SUS) and from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Procedures rates (per 100,000 inhabitants per year) were established in each macroregion: restorative, prosthetic, collective, endodontic, exodontia, periodontic and preventive procedures. Statistical analysis of the time series was performed using a regression linear model. Results: Prosthetic and periodontal procedures were the only ones with a positive linear trend in all Brazilian macroregions (p<0.001). Endodontics did not show a positive trend in Brazil (p=0.173). Restorations showed a growth in the North (p=0.003) and Center-west (p<0.001) macroregions. Exodontia presented a tendency to increase in the North macroregion (p=0.046), while the Midwest presented a decrease of it (p=0.049). Preventive (p=0.042) and collective (p=0.017) procedures showed a decrease in their production during the period. Conclusion: Oral health showed great growth within the single health system in the 19 years evaluated. Periodontal procedures and dental prostheses were those with the highest growth trends.
