Contemporary society imposes constant challenges in the areas of health and education, founded on permanent revisions and redesigns for training. This article promotes a critical review of the literature on problem-based learning (PBL) directed to the teaching of Dentistry. Data bases consulted were Medline (via EBSCO), SCIELO, BBO and LILACS (BVS). The keywords have been defined based on previously selected articles. The PBL is presented as an alternative methodology for training and education in Dentistry. It isconsidered a working tool for teachers seeking to develop in their students cognitive skills promoting the development of integrated clinical reasoning with the continuing education directed profile.
