This is a classic, oversized anatomical model of a complete adult human jaw, commonly known as a Typodont. It is an indispensable tool for dental education, patient consultation, and visual demonstrations.
The model features full upper and lower arches with simulated gingiva (pink gums) and a complete set of white teeth. The jaw is mounted on a sturdy base with a hinged articulator, allowing the user to fully open, close, and demonstrate the natural movement of the jaw and the occlusion (bite).
Ideal for:
Dental Students: Learning tooth identification, morphology, and arch relationships.
Clinics & Patient Education: Explaining common procedures, oral hygiene techniques, and treatment plans (like braces, bridges, or dentures).
Presentations: Clear and large-scale visualization for educational settings.
The durable construction and realistic representation make it a foundational component for any dental learning environment.
