In a method for displaying at least one property of an optically determined surface geometry of at least one three-dimensional object, in particular a tooth, on a display, in particular a computer screen, a defined region of the surface geometry is monitored to ascertain whether a defined criterion has been fulfilled. An amount of optically determined data of the defined region is a criterion. A number of defined regions of the surface geometry are assigned a property when all the regions of the number meet the criterion. The property is displayed graphically in a defined manner, wherein different properties are graphically displayed in a differing manner.
