Introduction Brazil has experienced transformations in higher education and health services, including launching more inclusive public policies focused on these two areas. Objective To evaluate the profile of final‐year dental students from a Brazilian public university from 2010 to 2019, accompanied by changes in public health and higher education policies. Methods A prospective observacional study was carried out with final‐year dental students. A self‐applicable semi‐structured questionnaire was applied. Result Six‐hundred and seventy‐seven students participated, of which 71.5% were women, 72.9% aged between 21 and 25 years, 96.2% single, and 96.4% were without children. Over ten years, it was possible to identify trends in the profile explained by implementing public policies toward more inclusive access to Brazilian higher education by socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals. Students who completed the course between 2018 and 2019 did not have the state capital city (the wealthiest area) as their origin city and had lower parental education and income levels than dental students graduating between 2010 and 2011. Moreover, working as a primary care dentist in the Brazilian National Health System was considered a professional possibility by 61.4% of the students, and has gained prominence significantly over time, ranging from 21.1% in 2010 to 72.9% in 2019 (p < .05). Conclusion Over the study period, concomitantly to advances in public health and higher education policies in Brazil, more diverse access to public dental education was observed, allowing students from low socioeconomic positions to take the education. Changes have also impacted the students' perspectives regarding the need for postgraduate training and a career in public health dentistry. However, these trends need to be consolidated, and public policies continued and strengthened.

Avaliar a trajetória de graduados em Odontologia é importante para garantir o alinhamento adequado dos currículos odontológicos às necessidades da sociedade. Este estudo observacional transversal descritivo teve como objetivo caracterizar o perfil sociodemográfico-familiar e a trajetória de educação na pós-graduação e de atuação profissional de cirurgiões-dentistas egressos de universidade pública do Sul do Brasil. Foram convidados a participar do estudo todos os egressos que concluíram a graduação em Odontologia nesta universidade, entre 2007 e 2019. A coleta de dados aconteceu pelo autopreenchimento de instrumento semiestruturado online, pré-testado, organizado em três dimensões (perfil sociodemográfico-familiar, educação na pós-graduação e atuação profissional). A análise das questões objetivas foi realizada por estatísticas descritivas e as abertas pela análise temática de conteúdo. Participaram do estudo 245 cirurgiões-dentistas (percentual de resposta: 25,7%). A maioria eram mulheres (68,6%), com 26 a 32 anos (73,9%), solteiros (71,4%), sem filhos (92,7%), naturais (51,4%) e residentes (59,2%) na cidade onde cursaram Odontologia e trabalham (67,5). A renda pessoal mensal foi de 5 a 10 salários mínimos (36,7%). Atuam na Odontologia (97,1%) e estão satisfeitos com a profissão (79,6%). Realizaram ou estão realizando cursos de pós-graduação (94,3%), concluídos em até três anos após a graduação (58%), principalmente especialização (62,8%), nas áreas de Saúde Coletiva, Ortodontia e Implantodontia. Setor privado mostrou-se o maior empregador dos cirurgiões-dentistas (60,8%), entretanto, a atuação no serviço público cresceu entre os egressos de 2010-2019 (2,4% para 20,7%). Estudos de acompanhamento destes egressos são recomendados para avaliação do curso e das demandas/desafios contextuais que caracterizam a profissão de cirurgião-dentista no Brasil.
