Resumo
Educational principles related to clinical and technical pro-
cedures taught to undergraduate students of dentistry play
an important role in the professional development of future
clinicians and in the quality of service given to their pati-
ents. The present study reports a survey of undergraduate
Complete Denture teaching in Brazilian Dental Schools. A
comprehensive survey questionnaire containing objective
questions related to materials and techniques used in com-
plete denture construction, pedagogic methods and working
conditions, was sent to 84 dental schools and 59 of them(70%)
provided the answers. The results showed relatively uniform
pattern regarding the several clinical and technical stages of
complete denture treatment and there are remarkable diffe-
rences concerning working conditions provided by Brazilian
dental schools. Some variation in the taught procedures were
mainly due to the readiness and cost of the material or mere-
ly personal preferences. An extensive discussion among tea-
chers regarding complete denture teaching is needed in or-
der to improve educational conditions in undergraduate level.
