<p><strong>Foundation</strong>: in Odontology studies at the University of Guayaquil, the subject removable Prosthesis lacks a structured system that guarantees   the articulation of the labor, research and academic components. That could be reverted at a medium and long terms in deficiencies at working performance in future professionals.<br /><strong>Objective</strong>: to describe the tests results in the subject removable prosthesis in regards to abor, research and academic components.<br /><strong>Methods</strong>: a correlational, observation study was developed with panel design, to develop the analysis of the subject removable prosthesis, of the Odontology studies at the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador during the academic year  2017-2018. The variables were the results obtained in the test of 57 students, valuations about the three components articulated: academic, research and labor, so as the alternative non parametric ranking test with Wilcoxon sign.<br /><strong>Results</strong>: significant differences were observed in the average marks in both research works for each of the groups. The three components had a similar behavior, though there was evidence of a decrease in the labor component.<strong><br />Conclusion</strong>: the marks obtained revealed better results in theoretical knowledge related to research abilities, not in the same way in at the job practice linked to prosthesis design. The integration of the three components of the teaching learning process is affected since the labor component isn not properly developed.</p>
