A substitute for facial replica in mannequin procedures.
The use of mannequin exercises has been a teaching tool in the education of dental students. Various commercially available materials to simulate extraoral facial structure form part of this apparatus, also called a "phantom head." It is not always practical, with cost considerations, to replace this external component when unavoidable wear and tear occurs. An alternative that uses a recycled milk carton is presented as an inexpensive substitute.
