Introduction

Different authorities of dental education have issued recommendations for teaching modalities during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The role of public universities has been fundamental to apply these education strategies.

Results

When asking about satisfaction with virtual classes, 68% of students (n = 491) were satisfied, and 32% (n = 231) were dissatisfied.

Conclusions

We concluded that home schooling could be permanently adopted for careers in health area to cover theoretical contents, and it is essential that universities support their students by providing necessary tools.
