Objective: To determine the confidence when performing single root canal treatments of the 4th and 5th year students of the Dentistry at a Private University of Lima. Materials and Methods: Eighty-one dental students from a private university in Lima were evaluated through a survey of the article prepared by Davey to measure their confidence when performing single root canal treatment. Internal validity was verified through questionnaire translation processes, expert judgment and a pilot test. Adequate coefficient of Aiken’s V (0.91), Cronbach’s Alpha (0.89), and Spearman’s correlation (0.61) were obtained. Descriptive statistical measures were obtained (Mean, S.D, Median, and IQR) and for the bivariate analysis, U Mann Whitney’s, Kruskal Wa-llis, Dunn Test and Spearman’s Correlation tests were used. Results: Students had a high confidence score (8.51) when performing a single root canal treatment and the lowest scores were when determining the length of work and the obturation of the canals with an average of 8.19 and 8.01 respectively. Likewise, the variables as previous experience, perception of complication and having had difficulties were statistically significant. Finally, a positive correlation was found between the dimensions of the variable perception of teaching in endodontics (p=0.003) (p=0.000) (p=0.000) and the variable confidence. Conclusions: There is high confidence when performing single root canal treatment by the students of 4th and 5th year of the Dentistry career.Type
