Objective: To analyze the temporal evolution and identify factors associated with dental production in primary care in the Northeast of Brazil between 2016 and 2023. Methodology: This is a quantitative, exploratory, and analytical cross-sectional time series study, using data collected between 2016 and 2023 on dental procedures in primary care in the Northeast of Brazil. Dental data were obtained from the Health Information System for Primary Care (SISAB). The analyzed variables included sex and age group. Additional data on income and Human Development Index (HDI) were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Results: Between 2016 and 2023, the number of dental procedures in the Northeast of Brazil remained stable (p=0.355). Women underwent significantly more dental procedures than men (p < 0.001; E = -124.114). The number of procedures remained stable up to 39 years (p = 0.169), with a significant reduction from 40 years onwards (p < 0.001; E = -99.144), being more pronounced for those aged 60 years or more (p < 0.001; E = -239.755). HDI had a positive influence on the number of procedures performed (p < 0.001; R = 0.180), while per capita income did not show a significant impact (p = 0.218). Conclusion: The temporal trend during the analysis period was stationary. There were more procedures performed on women, with stability up to 39 years and a significant reduction from 40 years onwards. The increase in HDI showed a positive influence on the number of procedures performed.
