This work aimed to identify the level of knowledge of the faculty and students of the UFRN Dentistry course about the ethical and legal aspects involved in obtaining and manipulating extracted human dental elements. A semistructured questionnaire was applied to the effective teachers of the Department of Dentistry and to the students from the second period because they constituted the users of human teeth in the activities of pre-clinical teaching and research. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. 51 teachers and 201 students answered the questionnaire and 72.55% and 72.60%, respectively, recognized the dental element as an organ similar to other vital organs. As to the way of obtaining, 39.49% of the students obtained the teeth in dental offices and 33.76% in health units, and 91.04% of the students and 80.39% of the teachers do not know any type of commercialization. Regarding biosafety, both students (78.61%) and teachers (90.20%) recognize the risk in handling these elements and perform some type of disinfection. Considering the legal aspects, 68.63% of the teachers and 20.10% of the students stated that they were aware of the existence of regulations, although this was not reflected in the answers obtained. It can be concluded that both students and teachers have little knowledge about the legal aspects involved in obtaining and manipulating extracted human dental elements. It is necessary to implement a BDH in UFRN to meet the needs of the institution and meet legal, ethical and biosafety requirements.
