Since this blog is sweet TOOTH, I figured it was time for some dental school pictures!
For our Morphology/Occlusion class, we have to
"wax-up" different teeth.
Basically, we made a stone model of teeth. Then we shave a tooth down to nothing and then
build it back up using wax and instruments!
We had already done this tooth (#14 - upper left 1st molar) so we had to cut it off and do it again.
 |
| Goodbye wax. |
 |
| Starting again from scratch. |
I liked my wax-up, so I preserved it. Onto the next one.
 |
| 1. Build up with big blob first |
 |
| 3. Triangular/Cusp Ridges |
 |
| 2. Add cones for the cusps |
 |
| 4. More ridges & Fill-in |
 |
| 5. Clean up and polish! |
yay. I love dentistry.
