  • Patent number: 10319258
    Abstract: A dental indirect vision training apparatus is provided devised to assist in the development of indirect vision eye-hand coordination among dental students. A prosthetic jaw member is rotatably positioned upon a base stand and each of a maxillary and mandibular denture is attachable into the jaw member in positions appropriate to resemble human anatomy. Target members disposed upon each of the maxillary and mandibular teeth enable practiced movements with dental tools wielded to contact the target members by indirect sighting via a manually coordinated dental mirror. Dental students thereby learn spatial relationships and eye-hand coordination interior to an oral cavity while visually apprehending images reflected at angles atypically experienced in everyday life. Indirect vision and coordinated movements are thereby explored, strengthened, and developed.
