The Human Teeth Bank (HTB) is a non-profit entity, associated to an educational institution or other scientific institution, main objective is to provide in a legal and regular way human teeth to students of the faculty of dentistry during the phase of pre-clinical education. The HTB can also provide teeth for any scientific investigation focused on advancing knowledge. The objective of this project was to carry out a survey of several dental schools to assess the existence of this project or similar dynamic. In addition, as a base not available in the literature, a project was proposed, with the items available, to develop the HTB associated with the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the Portuguese Catholic University. It can be concluded that the association of a HTB to an educational institution is still a recent idea at a global level and embryonic in Europe.
