Formación del pensamiento científico en alumnos de primer año de Odontología en dos universidades latino-americanas

The aim of this study was to analyze the development of scientific thought in undergraduate first year students, who participated of a scientific methodology classroom at the beginning of the dental career in two Latin American universities (Brazil y Argentina). The sample consisted of 144 students. Although the inclusion of the training process for scientific thought in first year students of the dental careers of the two universities analyzed was detected, a more complete, gradual and complex competence development is required for the achievement of established guidelines by the two universities for a professional dentist.
