Abstract: A model tooth, that is constructed with multiple layers of material. The object is designed for a particular procedure, such as removal of material to repair a cavity. The 3D area to be removed is provided in a first color, the area bordering the material to be removed is provided in a second color and the area on past the border is provided in a third color. Advantageously, upon performance of a procedure, the object can be visually inspected to determine if all of the first color material is removed, without over removing the material of the second color.

Abstract: A virtual haptic simulator enabling individuals to work on model teeth to create preparations and/or restorations. The virtual haptic simulator interfaces to a comparing system that can evaluate augmentations performed on the model teeth to ideal targets that are intended as the result.
