Introduction: Dental schools believe that repetition is the key for competence in clinical procedures, and this believe is based on two concepts, 1) student learn from experience 2) practice and repetition is more important than the quality of performance. Materials and Methods: Survey based research was conducted in Riyadh Colleges of Dentistry and Pharmacy in both male as well as female campuses and a total of 304 students from levels 9 – 12 were invited to take part. Data was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS (version 17). Results: 33% of male participants did not have any exposure to complex amalgam restorations as compared to 52% female participants. 50% males felt confident with their exposure to simple root extractions, as compared to 44% of females. This is in contrast to the exposure of 25% males to root separation as compared to only 13% females. Conclusion: There have been evidences of students lacking enough exposure to various clinical procedures. Level 11 and 12 students are lacking exposure to a number of procedures.
