“…These teeth have been developed in opaque and translucent resin, like reported elsewhere 3 , 9 . In 1994, Reader, et al 10 made experiments with a similar artificial tooth model, but without refinement. With the tooth developed by Nassri, et al 7 (2005), there was a need to evaluate them properly.…”

“…Kahn 5 (1983), Jackson and Tidmarsh 4 (1993) and Sauveur and Boucher 11 (1998) created endodontic models with teeth made of wax or resin, but without the characteristics of natural teeth. Reader, et al 10 (1994) highlighted a number of reasons why the use of natural teeth was not indicated in endodontic teaching, including frequent concerns about infection control and difficult in standardization, all these posing difficulties to teaching.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of artificial teeth for endodontic teaching. A questionnaire was prepared and submitted to 18 professors of Endodontics from different Brazilian universities to evaluate the following features of five cloudy resin artificial teeth: internal and external anatomy; coronal chambers regarding their size, shape and canal path; root canal regarding their size, shape and position; fulfillment of the pulp chamber and root canals by considering the texture, quantity, color, and ease of handling; resin hardness and visualization of the radiographic image. The results presented favorable opinions, in terms of internal and external anatomy, coronal pulp chambers and root canal and handling and radiographic imaging. The contents of the pulp space and hardness of the teeth were considered satisfactory. The average grade assigned to the artificial tooth quality was 8.4, in a 0-10 scale. In conclusion, the artificial teeth have potential to replace the natural teeth in endodontic teaching; however, improvements are still necessary to reach a better quality model.

The purpose of this article is to describe a simple and versatile aid for the endodontic treatment of extracted teeth and its possible applications. The Med*-box is a new endodontic multipurpose device made of transparent acrylic that permits all elements of root canal treatment to be performed and evaluated either visually or radiologically. The Med*-box represents a valuable addition to the spectrum of educational and practical means in endodontic training. It is well suited for students, dentists, and endodontists for learning the handling of new materials, methods, and instruments in endodontics before they work clinically upon a patient. Also in the context of scientiic endodontic issues, the Med*-box represents a simple, economical, and easily manageable aid.

The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the desirability of alternative models of artiicial teeth versus extracted natural teeth for use in preclinical dental education. Speciically, the study was designed to compare the preparation time and perceptions of dificulty of undergraduate dental students and endodontists in carrying out root canal preparations on resin models (both clear and opaque) and extracted natural teeth. Twenty participants-ten ifth-year students at a Brazilian dental school and ten endodontists with at least ive years' experience in the specialty-performed root canal instrumentation on two samples of each model. Preparation times were recorded, and the participants completed a questionnaire about the anatomical and physical characteristics of these models. The results showed that the time required for performing endodontic procedures in the natural teeth was higher than in the alternative models. The perceptions of the students and specialists regarding some topics on the questionnaire were signiicantly different. The students had more positive opinions about artiicial teeth made of opaque resin, while the specialists had more positive opinions about simulated root canals in clear resin blocks. This study suggests that neither of the alternative models fulilled requirements to replace natural teeth in endodontic teaching; improvements are still necessary to accomplish this goal.Dr.
