Abstract

Little is known about the use of public dental services in the center-west region of Brazil, and even less about the number of endodontic treatments. Endodontic procedures through the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde; SUS) are performed mainly in specialized public centers for dental care, and these data are available from the database of the Brazilian Ministry of Health (DATASUS). This study aimed to determine the number of endodontic procedures performed in state capitals in the center-west of Brazil. We conducted a cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection of all endodontic procedures performed through the SUS from January 2011 to December 2016. Data were obtained from the DATASUS and from the website of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and were compared by analysis of variance, using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Levene’s tests followed by Tukey post hoc test at a significance level of p<0.05. Campo Grande had the largest number of endodontic treatments per inhabitant (0.063), followed by Cuiabá and Goiânia, with similar rates (0.028 and 0.026 respectively), and Brasília (0.006). Teeth with three or more root canals had significantly more endodontic interventions than teeth with one or two root canals (p<0.05). Higher education institutions must be attentive to the changes in the model of dental care offered by the SUS so that their graduates are trained in accordance with the epidemiological profile of the population as well as with health public policies.
