DENTA: SIMULATED ROOT CANALS MADE OF HYDROXYAPATITE FOR RESEARCH AND TRAINING USE

Hydroxyapatite root canal model for Endodontic research and training use.

This model presents equivalent architectures, porosity, hardness as a natural tooth, which allows dental simulation training in « real condition ».

Benefits: 

• Method of preparation simple and reproducible
• Composition close to dentin: based on hydroxyapatite
• Porosity close to natural dentin: ~ 20%
• Pore diameter ~ 4.5 microns
• Hardness close to natural dentin
• Anatomy close to natural roots
• Radiopacity which allows viewing on radiographs.
