Abstract
An 'open apex' model for teaching obturation techniques in a very wide root canal has been developed using bovine deciduous incisors which a re soon to be exfoliated. Extracted human teeth may also be modified i n a variety of ways to simulate resorptive defects, Both may be combin ed with existing models to allow use in a phantom head or be mounted i n materials to mimic the radiographic appearance of bone.
