Erler-ZimmerSkull model for dentistry with CMD syndrome8 pieces

The skull model for dentistry with CMD syndrome by Erler-Zimmer combines detailed skull and dental anatomy with a depiction of craniomandibular dysfunction. In CMD, the interplay of the temporomandibular joints, the masticatory muscles and the teeth is disturbed, and it is exactly this interplay that the model makes visible. As an anatomical skull model it shows the teeth, jaws and the masticatory muscles relevant to functional diagnostics.

It is used in dentistry, functional diagnostics and orthodontics, as well as in educating patients with jaw complaints. It helps to explain the consequences of bruxism and joint dysfunction in an understandable way.

• Human skull focused on teeth and jaws
• Front jaw halves removable, view of teeth with roots
• Depiction of enamel wear caused by grinding
• Wear of the temporomandibular disc illustrated
• Masticatory muscles M. masseter with pars superficialis, profundus and coronoidea
• All three muscles removable to expose the joint

This version is aimed at anyone who, beyond plain dental anatomy, wants to show the functional disorder of the masticatory system; where only the teeth and bony jaws matter, the standard version without CMD depiction is enough. The removable masticatory muscles let you work from the superficial to the deep part of the masseter. This way the cause and effect of a CMD can be followed step by step.
