Objective: To design and validate a questionnaire measuring composite remodeling and replacement knowledge level according to modified Ryge USPHS criteria in dentistry undergraduate students from UCACUE. Materials and Methods: Analytical, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. The content validation was conducted with ten expert criteria in the field with ample clinical experience in oral rehabilitation, restorative dentistry, and scientific research. Results: After applying the questionnaire through the coefficient Aiken's V, the statistics showed values between 0.8 and 1. Conclusion: The instrument developed is highly reliable in each of the proposed dimensions; each value obtained quantifies the relevance and evaluation of the judges; therefore, it can be applied to the target population.
