Abstract
The use of mannequin exercises has been a teaching tool in the educati on of dental students. Various commercially available materials to sim ulate extraoral facial structure form part of this apparatus, also cal led a ''phantom head.'' It is not always practical, with cost consider ations, to replace this external component when unavoidable wear and t ear occurs. An alternative that uses a recycled milk carton is present ed as an inexpensive substitute.
