All dental offices need visual models to help explain dental hygiene, dental diseases and the structures of the mouth, jaw and teeth. LWW's visual models provide hands-on examples to help dentists explain dental anatomy and diseases to their patients. In this presentation, we offer a look at the visual models available for use in dental offices.

1. Anatomy of Education:

LWW’s anatomical charts for dentists include a tooth anatomy chart and a
chart on teeth and jaw disorders.
The anatomy of teeth chart provides a detailed cross section of a tooth
and its surrounding gum and bone. The chart illustrates the types of
teeth and their functions, and labels the primary teeth, permanent
teeth, childhood dentition and oral cavity.
The teeth and jaw disorders chart provides a longitudinal view of a normal
tooth, and illustrates diseases of the teeth and gums including
periodontal disease, dental caries, abscess formation, glandular
problems and impaction. Illustrations of 12 dental anomalies, including
enamel hypoplasia, fusion, germination, microdontia, macrodontia,
toothbrush abrasion, hypodontia, hyperdontia, pulp polyp, dens
invaginatus, attrition, and erosion are included.
