The development and organization of services targeted to people with disabilities are increasingly specific and regional. Thus, it was proposed that this study deals with the epidemiological profile of patients treated at the State Center for Dentistry for Special Patients - CEOPE from July 2005 to May 2009. Analysis was performed documentary, descriptive and retrospective database of CEOP in a sample of 5954 entries, distributed by age, sex, origin and diagnosis using the ICD-10. The results showed 52.9% of males, aged predominantly between 10 to 19 years (22.1%). The mental and behavioral disorders were observed in 15% of patients, followed by diseases of the nervous system with 10.1%. The CEOP attended 85.5% of the municipalities of Mato Grosso Cuiabá, the capital led to a percentage of 63.5%. The study points to the need for more professional training and decentralization of dental care for people with disabilities.
