Team-based learning (TBL) is a dynamic method that provides a motivating and cooperative environment, with appreciation of collective production. The aim of this paper was to analyze the perception of undergraduate dentistry students of a Brazilian university on the TBL method. This is a cross-sectional study with convenience sample (n = 83), in which each student answered a self-administered questionnaire - Student's TBL Evaluation Instrument. Data were analyzed based on descriptive statistics. Moderate, acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.736) was found. The means of answers obtained indicated that students showed preference and satisfaction regarding the use of the TBL method, being able to arouse greater sense of responsibility. The application of the TBL method was positively perceived by almost all dentistry students.
