Operative Dentistry in the Phantom Lab

Before they work on real patients, it is important for dental students to practice treatments on phantom lab heads and ivory teeth. While dental simulators are available for specific areas, such as restorative dentistry and prosthetics, they are not available in all dental colleges because the high expenses. Fortunately, this book helps to simulate the operative dental cases for dental students and their supervisors in a phantom lab. The book includes more than eight hundred high-resolution images, illustrations, and tables. Tools and instruments are explained as well as the common terms used in operative dentistry. Simulating systems for caries lesions and their corresponding restorative treatments are shown in the phantom lab. Radiographic images and clinical photos are included to help students make the correct caries lesions diagnosis. From easy procedures, such as practical step-by-step rubber dam techniques to retainer application, and teeth preparation and correspondent restorations with amalgam or composite restoration, this book is an important resource for prospective dentists and those new to the field.
