- Description
- A veterinary dental radiography training model kit This kit includes anatomical models for training veterinary professionals and students in dental radiograph positioning, using clinic X-ray equipment. It provides a safe way to practice dental imaging without live animals and is intended solely for demonstration and education—not for clinical procedures or treatment. The kit comes in a carrying case and contains: canine and feline skull models, a bisecting-angle technique model with a light for illustrating radiographic geometry, non-functional endotracheal tube segments for position demonstration, a cotton positioning bag with silica sand, a handheld light for illumination, and a sturdy case. Made from photo-cured synthetic resin via 3D printing (SLA/DLP), with silicone elements, the radiopaque teeth are visible under X-rays. All components are inert, contain no active substances, electronics, or power, and are manufactured in the United Kingdom. Practitioners can place the models under the X-ray unit to repeatedly practice sensor placement and beam alignment. The complete kit is packaged as a single set within a dedicated carrying case.
