In recent years the education in Forensic Odontology has undergone significant changes to meet social demands requested, as a result of the intense modifications in the modern society. The new professional has received important information about the labour market, which will help them to carry out clinical activities within a admnistrative, ethical and legal context, besides that it will help them to have a glimpse of the new perspectives of the area. Considering the above scenario, this paper aims to present points to reflection regarding the teaching-learning process. From several discussions held by the Brazilian Association of Forensic Odontology (ABOL) and the Brazilian Association for Dental Education (ABENO), the current aspects of teaching in this area were merged into this article, highlighting the need of joint work of all the IES interested in the teachinglearning process in dentistry.
