Objectives: Dental Specialty Centers (CEOs) are facilities taken as reference for basic healthcare units, they should be linked to the National Register of Health Facilities (CNES), and offer specialized dental care to the public. Thus, this study aimed to describe the specialized dental production in the cities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, along with the CEOs, from the Outpatient Information System of the Unified Health System (SIA/SUS) data. Materials and methods: A retrospective retrospective longitudinal study was carried out by analyzing secondary data from SIA/SUS. A survey was performed at the CNES of CEOs registered in cities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Dental production of these cities was then searched directly at the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATA/SUS) database and tabulated. From this research, a background series was created for each city. The minimum monthly production required varied according to the modalities of CEOs (Interministerial Decree 1464, of 2011), and the number of CEOs per city. Results: Periodontics procedures were most prevalent (46.2%), followed by minor oral surgery (41.3%), and endodontics (12.5%). Regarding the fulfillment of goals, Pelotas was the city with the best performance (91%), followed by Caxias do Sul (90%), and Canoas (86%). In contrast, 13 cities reached only 25% or less of the established goals. Conclusion: There is a major difference in either the fulfillment or recording of specialized dental procedures in the cities with CEOs in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
