Lower Jaw of Preadolescent with Removable Teeth

Four teeth extract for hands-on study.

The lower jaw of an eleven year old depicts deciduous teeth being replaced by permanent teeth. Unbreakable plastic, the model has been scaled to 3.5X life-size to enhance difficult to observe details.

The outer portion of the jaw bone has been cut away exposing the roots of the teeth, their nerves and blood vessels. Four teeth can be extracted from the jaw: an incisor, a premolar, molar, and a developing canine. One molar has caries. Another is sectioned longitudinally revealing its enamel, dentine, cementum, and pulp.

Thirty-one hand numbered structures are identified in the accompanying key.

The only models in the world which are personally autographed and dated by their handcrafter! 100% American-made, made every step in the production of every autographed anatomy model - molding, hand sanding, hand painting, number-coding, labeling and autographing - is carried out at the DGi Skokie factory.

Mounted on a hand rubbed, hardwood base.
