The pupil participation in learning process must be constantly stimulated. This participation, without intending the disappearance of the formal education, more points a head with respect to a format of knowledge distribution where the focus is especially in who learns and not in who teaches, as in the traditional education. The function of the teacher is essentially to stimulate the acquisition of knowledge and the methods control, as well as guiding the pupils in its study. This conception of learning based on the discovery of the knowledge and less in the passive information acquisition, nowadays is considered elementary for process of a continuous education, crucial to all health professionals and mainly for Dental Medicine professionals.
