3D Tooth Atlas
The 3D Tooth Atlas is a software-based virtual environment that allows users to examine the morphology of the human dentition in full three-dimensional clarity. Each tooth can be rotated in three axes, rendered completely transparent to expose the structures of its complex anatomy, and studied from all angles as well as from the inside out. This version includes models of all 26 primary teeth with interactive slide bar to reveal their eruption by age; highly annotated segments of the mandible and maxilla (ie, bones, teeth, and pulp) that can be viewed independently or together from any orientation (eg, through the sinus); three-dimensional views of all anatomic structures relevant to endodontic access and treatment; a mock National Board exam provided by the ADA; annotated view of the entire skull; and the official, unabridged edition of the Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms. The latest version also features a number of new enhancements, including an expanded library of teeth, now comprising more than 300 interactive three-dimensional models; a larger collection of skull models, including several with mixed dentition; an expanded pedodontics section; and animated drawings and movies that demonstrate techniques for file cleaning of root canals.
“Endorsed by the American College of Prosthodontists as the highest quality educational program.”
