This paper reports the experience of a School of Dentistry in the development of psychomotor, cognitive, and social skills of students, based on the interprofessional collaborative practice between the areas of dentistry, psychology and occupational therapy. It describes the diagnosis and follow-up of the development of these skills in compulsory curricular activities (curricular units) and non-compulsory ones (Project for Follow-up of Dentistry Technical Competences, known as PACTO). It was verified that, in addition to the pioneering curricular insertion of psychology and occupational therapy in the development of skills for dental praxis, this experience renders the psychomotor, cognitive, and social aspects of the teaching-learning process in Dentistry noticeable for teachers, students, and the academic community.
