Realistic Tooth Lab

Use this beside the CPG deck when the simplified tooth looks too cartoon-like. The model is still a teaching diagram, but it uses a single SVG anatomy illustration with enamel shading, root form, gingival margin, plaque band, white/brown lesions and cavitation overlays.

Plaque at gingival margin

Soft glutinous plaque accumulations at gingival margin.

Realistic primary anterior tooth ECC teaching model A stylised but more realistic primary anterior tooth with roots, enamel, gingival margin, plaque, early white spot, brown spot and cavitated lesion overlays.
SurfaceStart by pointing to where plaque collects near the gum line.
CPG phrasing“Soft glutinous plaque accumulations at gingival margin.”
Presenter promptAsk caregiver about feeding, sugar frequency and brushing routine.

Risk factor convergence

ECC is multifactorial. Use the triad to explain why “bottle feeding only” is too narrow.

Primary anterior teeth make the visual story easy for parents: show surface, sign, then prevention action.

Clinical bridge

Move from visual signs to CRA, OHE, fluoride toothpaste, fluoride varnish and recall interval.

Presenter notes

Keep language simple: this model supports explanation. Diagnosis and treatment decisions still follow clinical examination and the CPG.
