Given the importance of complementarity and interdependence among the pillars of higher education, the objective of this study is to know the value attributed to teaching, research and extension practices by Dental undergraduate students. A descriptive exploratory study was carried out with the use of a qualitative and quantitative methodology developed by all the graduates of the Dental Course of a public institution of higher education (base year: 2016) (n=54). The seizure of the information of interest for this study occurred through a structured question and three open guiding questions. The quantitative results were presented through descriptive statistics, and qualitative data treated according to the Collective Subject Discourse analysis technique. Concerning the participation of students in complementary activities, 73,1% reported having participated in scientific research, 63,5% in extension activities, and 80,8% in monitoring activities; and only 34,6% of the students reported experiencing the three activities analyzed. From the information obtained were extracted five themes and seventeen central ideas. The most shared ideas among the researched, about each theme extracted, point to a greater appreciation of teaching when compared to extension and research. Also, to the understanding that its higher education institution values research in an extended way and for the belief that teaching, research, and extension are related institutional axes in the institution. The results achieved show the need to improve the practices of knowledge construction and sharing in the analyzed institution.
