Methods: A study was conducted through a descriptive analysis of the temporal evolution of the indicators, built through secondary data issued by the Ambulatory Information System (SIA-SUS), between the years 2002 through 2013. Results: There was a decline in the indicator for first dental appointment coverage (24.48% to 4.17%), the proportion of extraction (6.62% to 1.23%) but also the individual average basic dental procedures (1.07 to 0.09), however, there was an evolution of the Oral Health Team coverage indicator (ESB). It was possible to observe a strong negative correlation between initial consultation and ESB coverage rate; proportion of extraction and, individual average basic dental procedures. Conclusion: It was evident that all dental clinical procedures indicators analyzed showed a decline during the studied period of time, despite having an increase of Oral Health Teams coverage. These results can be attributed to pent-up supply of dental procedures rendered to population , the misreporting of procedures or even policy -related issues / management / management of health services in the municipalityopenAccessSistema de Informação em Saúde.serviços de saúde bucal.Indicadores Básicos de Saúde.odontologia em saúde pública.bachelorThesis
