The aim of the study was to evaluate the presence of dental surgeons (DS) in Hospital Multiprofessional Residency Programs (HMRPs) in Brazil. This is an exploratory, descriptive study, with a quantitative approach. Documentary analysis was performed of health HMRPs edicts, in effect during the year of 2019, linked to federal university hospitals in Brazil, collecting the macroregion variables, areas of concentration, and presence of a dentistry professional core. The analysis consisted of Spearman's correlation for the association of the Human Development Index, Gini index, oral health teams, population coverage, and dental courses with the presence of DSs in HMRPs. Of the 41 HMRPs, 5 (12%) are in the Midwest; 6 (15%) in the North; 12 (29%) in the Southeast; 14 (34%) in the Northeast, and 4 (10%) in the South. Of the 93 areas of concentration, 27 (29%) have a DS on the multiprofessional team. The Northeast (n=26, 27.9%) and Southeast (n=32, 34.4%) have the greatest diversity of areas of concentration, with the presence of a DS in 10 (38.4%) and 9 (28.1%), respectively, in each region. The most predominant area of concentration in the public notices is child and maternal-infant health (n=26, a 27.9%), and the DS is present in 7 (26.9%) of them. The DS is in many residency programs, although it is noticed the need to expand the number of vacancies offered.
