Introduction composite resins are materials widely used for Class II restorations, to restore the anatomization of the dental element. However, there are several factors that can interfere with the quality of a good restoration. Objective the objective of the present study is to carry out a retrospective evaluation of the clinical performance of Class II restorations performed by undergraduate students of Dentistry at the Escola São Francisco de Assis (ESFA), and to identify the main errors. Material and method we selected the medical records of patients treated in the disciplines of Dentistry II, Integrated I and II in the Dentistry clinic at ESFA, which presented detailed information on the Class II procedure, as well as initial radiographic examinations, using the FDI method. The sample consisted of 33 medical records that included 72 teeth. Result it was observed that more than 80% of the restorations were classified as acceptable. And, only 19.44% of the restorations were unacceptable, failing due to functional and biological properties. Conclusion it was found that undergraduate students in Dentistry at ESFA, who are guided by professors to perform treatments following pre-established clinical protocols, are capable of carrying out quality restorative procedures.
