Teeth are specialized
structures originating from bone, which undergo growth and
replacement during early life. They are covered with the
hardest substance in the human body, enamel, which has to withstand
a lifetime of cutting and grinding. The four different types
of teeth have different roles. Chisel-shaped incisors cut and
slice, pointed canines grip and tear and broad, flat premolars and
molars crush and chew. Our anatomical models show the
development of teeth, individual teeth, the teeth and jaws together
and, of course, dental hygiene, which covers various diseases and
the need to brush teeth properly. These are great patient
education aids, especially helpful to dentists. Be sure to check out our Dental Skulls and especially our Deluxe Medical Demo Skull. |
