Canine Jaw Healthy/Diseased

Compare Healthy and Diseased Oral Anatomy

Understanding dental disease starts with knowing what normal looks like. The Canine Jaw Healthy/Diseased Model allows students to compare healthy structures directly with examples of disease, making changes to the teeth and surrounding anatomy easier to recognize and discuss.

The model can support instruction in oral examination, dental anatomy, periodontal disease, and preventive dentistry. Students can examine the jaw from different angles while learning to identify abnormalities and understand how dental disease progresses beyond what may initially be visible during an oral exam.

For veterinary and veterinary technician programs, the side-by-side comparison provides a useful bridge between anatomy instruction and the dental assessment skills students will apply in practice.
