The scientific production generated and published by professors of the Dentistry Colleges belonging to SIEO and linked to the Post Graduation programme accredited by CAPES, is analyzed in this study with the aim to verify the collaborative network between authors. Objectives: To identify the perceptibility of the Brazilian production of scientific articles in the field of Dentistry, indexed in international databases from 2000 to 2008, authored by professors of post-graduation programme, working in the colleges of the SIEO; To plot the collaborative network between the authors who published co-authored articles; to analyze the type of authorship (single or multiple) for the publication of scientific articles published in Brazilian and foreign journals indexed in international sources: MEDLINE, Web of Science and Embase; to check the most cooperating authors among each other, from the network of the most productive authors of each post graduation program and to identify the affiliation of these collaborators. Method: the scientific production of accredited CAPES professors was verified in three international databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science and Embase from 2000 to 2008. We identified in each program the professor with the highest number of papers published in this period and from this production, the publications of single or multiple authorship were identified. Through the collaborative network, it was able to verify the major collaborators of the authors "knots" of each program as well as the form of authorship of articles: single or multiple. Results: In 29 post graduation programme in the Dentistry major area, and from the Institutions composing the SIEO, there are 492 certified professors. According to their scientific production, 24 were selected as teachers "knots" of the collaborative network. Out of 1,422 published articles, the network showed that only 8 (0.5%) were written as single authorship. Conclusions: The international databases MEDLINE, Web of Science and Embase index and provide visibility to the indexed scientific production, from the articles authored by members in the field of Dentistry, belonging to SIEO; the single authorship showed to be, in Dentistry, less frequent, giving rise to co-operation among authors; collaboration resulting in multiple authorship is prevalent among Brazilian professors in the field of dentistry, where the development and dissemination of their research analysis of collaborative networks among authors, is adequate to identify the relationship between them: There is a greater concentration of programme and post graduation professors in the Southeast; the predominance of collaboration was identified among authors of the departments within the same institution, and less frequently, between colleges, universities and other institutions, the strong endogenous showed in 16.6% of the authors (the same department). A collaborative network is not established between authors of accredited programs in different faculties.
