Maxillary Third Molar
Free!
Maxillary Third Molar is a realistic artificial wisdom tooth used in dentures, teaching models, and surgical training. It replicates natural anatomy with defined cusps and roots, helping demonstrate occlusion, impaction, and extraction procedures. Ideal for prosthodontic setups and dental education, it brings accuracy and detail to posterior tooth restoration and training.
Description
Maxillary Third Molar, commonly known as the upper wisdom tooth, is often provided as an artificial replica for dental prosthetics, academic study, or surgical training. These replicated teeth are designed to match the anatomical form of natural third molars, including their multi-rooted structure and occlusal grooves. In prosthodontic setups or denture fabrication, they help complete the posterior arch, maintaining occlusion and masticatory function where full denture extension is desired.
Key features and benefits:
• Accurate morphology replicating cusp patterns and root anatomy
• Suitable for inclusion in full dentures, teaching models, and surgical simulation
• Durable material resistant to wear and color fading
• Provides realistic occlusal contact for bite balance and function
• Assists in demonstrating impaction, extraction techniques, and anatomical variations
Common applications:
• Denture setups requiring complete posterior tooth arrangement
• Demonstrations of eruption issues, impactions, or extraction planning
• Dental training in oral surgery, endodontics, and radiographic interpretation
• Educational models for student learning and patient communication
Compared to anterior or premolar teeth, the Maxillary Third Molar features a broader occlusal surface and complex root system, making it valuable for teaching challenging clinical procedures such as surgical removal, root sectioning, or sinus proximity evaluation.
Usage recommendations:
• Position carefully to maintain proper occlusal plane and arch curvature
• Useful in showing mesioangular or distoangular impaction cases
• Compatible with acrylic and composite denture bases
Maxillary Third Molar replicas are essential tools for clinical realism, allowing dental professionals to demonstrate, educate, and rehabilitate with precision.
