Objective: To evaluate access to Endodontists and radical endodontic treatment by SUS users in the North and Southeast regions of Brazil in the last 15 years. Method: An ecological study was carried out using secondary data from the SUS. The number of specialists in Endodontics and radical endodontic treatments in deciduous and permanent teeth performed by such specialists between 2008 and 2022 were retrieved and analyzed with a significance level of 5%. Results: There was an increasing temporal trend in the number of specialists in Endodontics in the North and Southeast regions (p < 0.05). However, there was no increasing temporal trend in the number of radical endodontic treatments in the North region (p > 0.05), only in the Southeast (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Access to Endodontists by SUS users increased in the North and Southeast regions of Brazil, but the performance of radical endodontic treatments by such specialists increased only in the Southeast region.
