1. A computing device implemented method for estimating a surface texture of a tooth, comprising: collecting a sequence of images utilizing multiple light conditions using an intra-oral imaging device, wherein the multiple light conditions include capturing different light intensities from multiple light sources, and wherein each light source from the multiple light sources generate light having a different light intensity than each of the other light sources; comparing the light intensities from at least two of the images within the sequence of images to one another; and estimating the surface texture of the tooth based on the comparison of the light intensities from the at least two images within the sequence of images, wherein the estimated surface texture is added to a dental model providing dental detail.
