Typodont Dental Phantom Head Manikin for Training

Realistic Typodont Dental Simulator for Confident Training

The Typodont Dental Simulator Simple Head Model is a dedicated training manikin designed for dental students and teaching labs that require consistent, repeatable practice conditions. Combining a detailed phantom head, articulated jaw system, and lifelike soft-tissue components, it supports structured training in a wide range of pre-clinical procedures before transitioning to real patients.

The head shell is produced from high-strength transparent resin, smoothly finished to clearly reproduce key anatomical reference planes, including the orbital-ear plane, alar-ear plane, jaw plane, and mandibular tangent point. An anatomically shaped outer ear allows for realistic facebow and facial arch practice. The removable face mask is made from bionic rubber material with a skin-like texture and natural color, providing a close approximation to human soft tissue and supporting soft-tissue retraction and instrument handling drills. A built-in drainage design supports exercises that involve irrigation and spray management.

The shoulder support rod is constructed from stainless steel to simulate the position and posture of a seated patient's upper body, helping students develop correct ergonomics and operator positioning. An FE articulator made from aluminum alloy allows the model to open and close, protrude, and move laterally to simulate mandibular movements. The advancing condyle inclination is 30 degrees, the lateral condyle inclination is 15 degrees, the intercondylar distance is 110 mm, and the maximum opening distance is 50 mm, giving students a realistic range of motion for occlusion, preparation, and restorative training.

The universal adjustment handle connects the head and shoulder assembly via large and small universal joints. This configuration lets instructors and students freely adjust head and body positions to replicate different treatment scenarios, chair angles, and operator approaches. The typodont teeth are replaceable, enabling repeated practice on procedures such as cavity preparations, extractions, endodontic access, crown and bridge preparations, and implant-related exercises. The overall design aims to closely mimic the human oral cavity and surrounding structures, providing a consistent, controlled environment for hands-on learning.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Supports a wide range of pre-clinical procedures on a realistic oral cavity with removable teeth and soft-tissue simulation.
• Adjustable head, jaw, and body positioning helps students develop correct ergonomics and familiarity with multiple treatment angles.
• Durable materials and reusable components make it suitable for repeated daily use in teaching labs and training centers.

FAQ

Q: Are the teeth removable and replaceable?
A: Yes. The model is designed with typodont teeth that can be removed and replaced, allowing repeated practice on different procedures and tooth conditions.

Q: Can the head and body position be adjusted for different treatment scenarios?
A: Yes. The universal adjustment handle and joint system let you freely reposition the head and shoulder assembly to simulate various chair positions and operator viewpoints.

Q: Is this simulator suitable for dental school pre-clinical training?
A: It is well-suited for pre-clinical labs, skills centers, and instructor-led courses where students need a consistent manikin for practicing restorative, prosthodontic, and basic surgical techniques.

Q: Does the articulator simulate real mandibular movement?
A: The FE articulator allows opening, closing, protrusive, and lateral movements with defined condylar inclinations and intercondylar distance, providing a realistic approximation of mandibular function for occlusal and restorative training.
