The present work looked for to evaluate the dimensions dental cervico-incisal of the patients' teeth with DIGH. The digitization of the 28 models of plaster was accomplished, using the scanning technique to laser no destructive, manual measuring directly in the models of plaster obtained in the research of Oliveira Neto 2007 and obtainment of the dimensions.
