Volumes of external structures of the scanned tooth were generated and stored in *.STL files. The number of scans for this family was 16, due to surface irregularities that require readings from a greater number of angles. A 360° scan in macro range was chosen in each case. In order to do this, healthy permanent teeth were scanning by NextEngine™ 3D Scanner HD using the MultiDrive. The aim was to present educational material that would allow the dental student to learn to easily identify the morphologic characteristics of permanent teeth, using new technological tools. Computers are becoming an integral part of dental education and dental practice, especially for the acquisition of information in three dimensions and the production of solid objects from computer models. The dental student should have thorough knowledge of the dental morphology and develop adequate manual skill to reproduce any part of the tooth, thus maintaining the perfect correlation with associated structures.
