Results: One hundred forty-nine undergraduate dental students, including 54 third-year students, 60 fourth-year students and 35 fifth-year students, answered the survey on a voluntary basis. Upon this, each answer was examined separately, and efforts were made to reach conclusions about the distance education model. When results were evaluated, the majority of the students (40.9%) who participated in the survey reported that the distance education model contributed to the theoretical lessons, when adequacy of the practical training was assessed, it was concluded that distance education was "Absolutely Inadequate" at with a 79.9 percentage Conclusion: As a result of the study, most of the students found the distance education model sufficient for theoretical courses, but insufficient for practical education and found traditional practical education more advantageous.
