Introduction: Periodontal disease is a chronic, multifactorial condition caused by bacteria and characterized by the destruction of the protective tissues of the teeth (gums) and supporting structures (cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone). The condition affects up to 50% of the world's population. The National Oral Health Policy establishes guidelines that expand access and comprehensive care. Furthermore, it proposes a reorientation of the oral health care model, including more complex procedures in Primary Health Care, as well as periodontal treatment that does not require surgical procedures. Objective: To analyze the profile of periodontal treatments performed by Primary Health Care in Rio Grande do Norte between 2015 and 2022. Methodology: This was an ecological time-series study using secondary data on periodontal treatments in the population of Rio Grande do Norte between 2015 and 2022, taken from the Outpatient Information System of the Unified Health System. Pearson's test was used for socioeconomic and demographic correlations with periodontal disease, One-way ANOVA for comparisons between mesoregions, and the Friedmann test for variations over the years, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The East mesoregion had the highest average number of procedures across all years. In the analysis by municipality, there was a positive and significant correlation between the performance of procedures and socioeconomic conditions. The most frequently recorded procedure was "supragingival scaling and polishing". Periodontal treatment was more frequent in municipalities with greater socioeconomic development, especially in the Eastern mesoregion. Conclusions: Periodontal treatment is more common in municipalities with greater socioeconomic development, especially in the Eastern mesoregion, which includes the state capital.
