This study aimed to understand the perception of undergraduate dentistry about the contents of social-economic prejudice and its relation to health. For this, a collaborative, pedagogical action research was carried out with undergraduates of the School of Dentistry at the University of São Paulo, Campus Capital, in 2016. For analytic-interpretive purposes, we opted for the classical content analysis, taking as a textual unit the propositions and using the marxist matrix for the interpretation of perceptions. We constructed 18 categories that synthesized the perceptions about the subject. Perceptions about 'diseases, regardless of which side they reach, are grounds for stigma and prejudice' and 'socioeconomic and racial prejudices are connected' were the most present in the perception of this group. It was understood that the perceptions about the socio-economic prejudice are plural and contradictory, with moments of reproduction and criticism of the instituted, including about the students' own role in this process.
