Introduction: In the practice of the general dentist, findings of failures related to previously restored teeth predominate, and, since the loss of tooth structure is irreversible in a natural way, it is essential to make minimally invasive restorative treatment decisions that avoid accelerating the repeat restoration cycle. Objective: To describe the treatment decisions in restorations evaluated by Ryge criteria of 6th year students of the Dentistry career at Universidad Finis Terrae. Material and method: Cross-sectional descriptive observational study. The universe under study is made up of 6th-year Dentistry students at Universidad Finis Terrae in 2021, corresponding to 60 students, who responded to an opinion check-list where 5 images of restored teeth were presented accompanied by their classification according to some parameter of the modified Ryge/USPHS criteria, for each situation they had to select the treatment that they would indicate in each case: monitor, reconditioning, repair or replace the restoration. Results: 88.6% of the participants selected to reconditioning the restoration classified as “Charlie” for “anatomical shape”, 93.2% chose to recondition the restoration classified “Bravo” for “marginal adaptation”, the majority selected the replacement of the restorations rated as “Charlie” for “caries”, both for the amalgam (97.7%) and for the composite resin (77.3%), and 72.7% selected the replacement of the restoration categorized “Bravo” for “marginal adaptation”. Conclusion: The treatment decisions indicated by the students conform to the recommendations by the modified Ryge/USPHS criteria, which satisfactorily responds to the fundamentals of minimally invasive in restorative dentistry. No association was found in treatment decisions regarding sex or the number of years that the participants have been studying.
