Through this article , we aim to emphasize the use of continuing dental education through the distance mode of education , given the importance and growth of this method of teaching , for being used globally and become a key tool for promoting knowledge to many individuals. We conclude that the presence education , blended or distance becomes a process of training , because , regardless of the method offered , we get the same results , ie , student learning .
