Dental EndoMaster Meets 3D Printing Technology
At Dental EndoMaster, we are continuously pushing the boundaries of endodontic training. Our dental models are created using extracted teeth, which have been scanned through micro-CT to precisely replicate the internal structure of the root canal system. This high level of detail ensures you get as close to reality as possible. Plus, we’re regularly adding new tooth models to cover nearly every type of tooth you may encounter in clinical practice.
“Currently, Dental EndoMaster has over 30 models ready for training.”
Virtual Simulation-Why Does This Matter? The ability to design access cavities for root canals is an essential skill, especially when faced with challenges like calcification within the pulp chamber. Dental EndoMaster helps you develop this skill, providing the knowledge and practice to find and navigate canal orifices effectively. The app becomes your guide, helping you build the confidence needed for real-world scenarios.
“Dental EndoMaster allows you to learn the shape of the access cavity through simulation. By understanding the anatomical structure of the tooth, you can practice and refine your skills for more accurate endodontic procedures”
From Virtual to Reality: 3D Printing Integration While training on your smartphone is an excellent foundation, we understand that you may want to take your practice a step further. That’s why we’ve introduced 3D printing technology! Now, you can practice with the exact tooth models you’ve been practicing within the app.
“The models included in Dental EndoMaster have been 3D-printed to be compatible with standard dentiforms.”
Take, for example, the E16-002 model from Dental EndoMaster, now 3D-printed and ready for clinical practice. We’ve designed it to be compatible with standard dentiforms. This means you can practice hands-on with the same accuracy and precision that you experienced in the app.
“The 3D-printed tooth model fits into the slot of a standard dentiform.”
A Closer Look at the 3D Printed Model The E16-002 model is a taurodontism tooth, featuring a narrow, elongated pulp chamber. When performing an access cavity with a 330 bur, you’ll notice a distinct sinking sensation once you reach the correct depth. As you expand the cavity, you’ll find that the DB canal orifice is more mesio-palatal than an average tooth. These anatomical details allow you to tailor the cavity preparation for optimal results. Finally, don’t forget to remove the often-overlooked pulp horns to complete the preparation!

When can I start using them? We're excited to announce that we've developed prototypes of our 3D-printed dental models and are in the process of selecting the best materials to replicate the feel of real teeth closely. This includes creating more challenging models like calcified root canals. The process is nearing completion, and we’ll have updates for you soon!
