UNLABELLED: Th aim of the study was to assess this course as perceived by the 6th year dentistry students. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Applying and validating the "Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM)" for the first time in Romania. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The reliability of the test according to Cronbach alpha method, which measures the internal consistency of a test, was 0.87 (Cronbach alpha coefficient should be above 0.70). As to the reliability coefficients (internal consistency) for each test subscale and for the entire test, DREEM proved a very good overall reliability, with alpha = 0.89. The reliability of each DREEM subscale was also analyzed. The DREEM test results, with a global score of 149, indicate a "more positive than negative" perception (score between 101 and 150). CONCLUSIONS: The DREEM test showed that the assessment and treatment of pain in dental-maxillary pathology and TMJ dysfunctions through medical rehabilitation by means of balneophysiotherapy is of interest to final year dental medicine students. As a student-teacher partnership, modern education cannot ignore the practical needs of students and should add to their theoretical training with courses and practical training programs necessary in their future profession.
