The National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) for the Dentistry course were introduced in 2002 in order to reorient teaching toward autonomous education, guided by ethical, humanistic, critical and reflexive principles, acting upon different levels of care and adapting it the social demands. The traditional methodologies and organization have not proven to be sufficient in order to reaching such objectives, and new educational strategies have emerged. In such context, this study was aimed at analyzing the Educational Project of the Course (EPC) of the Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) from Brazilian public and private Dentistry courses, characterizing and analyzing their Syllabus. From 203 IHE registered in the electronic processing system that regulates Brazilian IHE (e-MEC), only 36 completely provided EPC on the Internet, 89% distributed the contents for subjects and 11% for modules. Among the courses that are organized by subjects, 53% used to group them by areas, axes, or cycles, but without showing how the integration of contents occur. It can be inferred that the Institutions, even after the implementation of Syllabus changes, still need to make notorious shifts in order to achieve the DCN goals.
