A recent study conducted at the National University of San Marcos in Peru examined the scientific production and perceptions of research among dentistry students. The study found limited evidence of academic scientific research in the field of dentistry in Peru. The research involved a non-probabilistic sample of 468 undergraduate students from seven dentistry faculties in Peru. The study revealed low scientific production among dentistry students, with only 2.4% of students having published scientific papers. The research also identified associations between research perception variables and students' university affiliation, as well as correlations between scientific publication and academic work with university of origin and year of study.
