I did this in about 1 hr. It is made from nurbs curves that have been extruded or had planar surfaces created from them. All surfaces are nurbs.

Everything has been circular filleted and trimmed to get the final shape.

To make the outside teeth I created a circle with 4 x the number of teeth. One tooth is made of 4 points in the circle. I selected 2 points, missed 2 points etc all the way around the circle and then scaled them out as required.

This gave a basic tooth shape with nice smooth curves. I rebuilt the curve using the 1 linear setting which gave nice sharp corners.

Hope this helps.........
