title: The use of transparent teeth in the teaching of preclinical endodontics.
abstract: Demineralized teeth, which were cleared and hardened in xylene, were used in the teaching of preclinical endodontics. The teeth appeared well suited for the purpose. Of 39 students attending the course, 30 students thought that the use of transparent teeth had facilitated the learning of endodontic techniques.
