Simulator for dental surgery, usable by dental students

摘要

The simulator has a support receiving a lower jaw (1) and an upper jaw (2) having the maxillary-facial contours of the bone contours, with sockets for the teeth. The upper and lower jaws can be connected by an articulation (9) to simulate opening of the mouth. There are openings (11,12) formed by the elimination of the bone. The support receives anatomical elements such as the nerves (5), the sinuses (4) and the nasal fossa. The teeth are formed separately and seated movably in the sockets of the upper and lower jaws. The jaws and teeth are formed of materials which mimic their real materials.
