Superior to charts and textbook illustrations which lack depth, this fully three dimensional representation incorporates lifelike reproductions of the muscles of the facial expression and mastication.
Muscles have been molded from a specially formulated material which is flexible, yet tough enough for heavy hands on study. Among the muscles representative are:
- fontalis
- temporalis
- orbicularis oculi
- nasalis
- levator anguli oris
- levator labii superioris
- zygomaticus major
- zygomaticus minor
- masseter
- orbicularis orbis
- mentalis
- depressor labii inferioris
- depressor anguli oris
- pterigoid
- mylohyoid
- left and right digastrics
Ideally suited for anatomy studies, patient education, allied health training, medical-legal documentation, and forensic science. Complete with illustrated key.
Replicast from a select natural bone specimen for unparalleled realism, every premier skull features individual teeth with complete roots - each in its own socket - not just a set of fused dentures like other synthetic skulls.
An exclusive hinged flap in the right mandible swings open to expose the roots of the two premolars and first two molars in their sockets, plus an impacted third molar (wisdom tooth). These five teeth are permanently anchored.
All the remaining teeth in the upper and lower jaws are secured in their sockets with a permanently-flexible cement which allows you to extract teeth individually for thorough examination, and then reinsert them.
Once replaced in their sockets, teeth will not fall out. This unprecedented extraction procedure can be repeated time and time again.
