ABSTRACT
Introduction: Dentists should be prepared to treat patients with chronic diseases representing a risk to dental procedures, particularly surgical ones.Objective: Describe the perception of the training received and the knowledge acquired by students attending Curricula C and D as concerns the dental care of patients at surgical risk.

Results: Perception of the training received was fair in 63% of the Curriculum C students and 52% of the Curriculum D students. 32.9% of the Curriculum D students ranked it as between good and excellent, while only 25.9% of the Curriculum C students awarded such scores. The level of knowledge was seen as low by 72.8% of the Curriculum C students and 71.7% of the Curriculum D students. It was ranked high by 11.7% of the students in Curriculum D and 8.6% of the students in Curriculum C.
Conclusions: A predominance was found of the category of fair in the perception of the training received by both groups, though almost half of the Curriculum D students ranked it as between excellent and good. As to level of knowledge, the category of low prevailed among students from both curricula, but those from Curriculum D awarded better scores.
