Description
Ten times life-size, six teeth representative of every human tooth type are included in this series:
- Lateral Incisor
- Canine (cuspid)
- First Premolar (bicuspid) with advanced caries
- Second Premolar
- Detachable bridge, consisting of first Molar with gold crown
- Second Molar
Since it is nearly identical morphologically to the lateral incisor, the central incisor is not included, nor is the third molar, which is so similar to the second. Each tooth has its name hand lettered on its surface, and is removable from the transparent base.
22 hand-coded features are identified in the accompanying key.
- Lateral Incisor
- Crown
- Neck
- Root
- Enamel
- Dentin
- Pulp
- Cementum
- Nerve and Blood Supply
- Cuspid
- Amalgam Filling
- First Bicuspid
- Caries (Decay)
- Abscess
- Second Bicuspid
- Tooth Preparation to Receive Inlay
- Second Bicuspid Inlay
- First Molar (Replacement Tooth)
- Gold Crown on Replacement Tooth
- Second Molar
- Tooth Preparation to Receive Inlay
- Second Molar Inlay
In life, the periodontal membrane lies between the tooth and the gum line. The gum line is represented by the stand on this model. The mandible (jawbone) lies under the gum line.
