title: Simulation models for teaching endodontic surgical procedures.
abstract: Models which simulate oral conditions pertaining to endodontic surgical procedures are most suitable if they contain natural teeth and have hard and soft tissues which handle realistically. In addition, the model should possess radiological characteristics similar to bone. A simple custom-built model which fulfils these requirements is described.
