He scored in the cup semifinal on 27 May 2009 in a 1–1 draw against Vasco da Gama to help Corinthians pass to the final and beat Internacional. On 30 September 2009, Dentinho signed an agreement with Corinthians in order to extend his contract until December 2013. He also received a salary increase, with a release clause of over 30 million euros.
Dentinho scored his first ever goal in Copa Libertadores for Corinthians on 10 March 2010, a strike from just outside the area to draw level in a group fixture away to Colombian club Independiente Medellín.[3]
On 18 May 2011, Dentinho signed a five-year contract with Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk. The deal between Corinthians and Shakhtar was reported to be €7.5 million.[4] It saw Dentinho join a team with several Brazilian players already amongst their ranks, including former Corinthians teammate Willian and fellow Brazilian U20 player Douglas Costa.
