The present study aimed to assess the dental professor perception in relation to the use of extracted human teeth and artificial teeth in pre-clinical activities. A questionnaire was used with objective and subjective questions applied to professors of dental surgeons from the Dentistry Course Centro Universitário de Anápolis - UniEVANGÉLICA. Of the 50 professors who met the eligibility criteria, a response rate of 76% was obtained. The average length of time for professors to graduate is 20 ± 9.7 years and the average teaching time is 17 ± 10.5 years. When asked whether human teeth should be used as educational resources, the majority (89.4%) answered yes, and concerning the acquisition of psychomotor skills by students, 68.4% believe that human teeth are more advantageous. He mentioned the disadvantage of using aspects related to biosafety (36.8%), difficulty in obtaining teeth (21%), risks of commercialization (15.7%), and ethical aspects (15.7%). Most dental professors in the evaluated course understand that the use of human teeth in pre-clinical activities has greater pedagogical potential, in addition to favoring the development of motor skills compared to the use of artificial teeth.
