In the group of preventive procedures the therapeutic application of fluoride was the most done (46.6%) and in the group of curative procedures was periodontal treatment (55.1%), followed by restorative treatment (26.3%). During the three years surveyed there was an increase in total production of the Center, both preventive as curative procedures, which are 39.8% from 2006 to 2007 and 25.1% from 2007 to 2008. The number of curative procedures exceeded twice the number of preventive procedures, showing that the profile of dental care offered by the center investigated still follows the surgicalrestorative model.
