Biosecurity occupies a main place in degree formation since The Dental Medicine is considered to be a profession of high risk. The teachers must be protagonists managing and informing the student `s training in this one area of the knowledge. The aim of this work was to know Biosecurity 's contents teaches and how they are teaches, in the career of dentist of the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina. We analyzed the programs of all the subjects (n=62) of the career and we realized interviews to teachers of 55 chairs to know what contents presented in programs are approached by the pupils and in what way it was realized. On having analyzed the programs of the subjects (basic, preclínics and clinics chairs) it was observed that Biosecurity 's contents are inserted in 63 % of programs. From the interview to the teachers 60 % of the interviewed chairs expressed that Biosecurity's education corresponds to them; 48 % of them expressed that the education of these contents is systematized along the course and in despite of not appearing in the programs they approach them in the theoretical classes (13 %), in the practical works (31 %) and / or in other activities (4 %). Biosecurity is not a transverse content in the study plan, which would indicate failings in the vertical and horizontal joint among chairs that demonstrate to teach Biosecurity.
