A new app ‘Real Tooth Morphology’ has been released by two academics from the University of Sheffield. This unique app uses high resolution micro-CT scan data of real teeth. The data has been collected and processed by the academics, who used 3D reconstruction techniques to allow the external and internal structures of the teeth to be explored in 3D in great detail.

Using mirco-CT scan data of real teeth, the app creates a 3D reconstruction of both the internal and external structures of real teeth. The app is designed to serve as an educational tool for dental students, dentists, dental nurses and anyone wishing to learn about the structure of the teeth.
Included in the app is a guide to the morphology and features of the teeth, with 3D demonstrations of how they relate to the tooth in question. A major advantage of using real teeth is that many show interesting and unusual features, which would be seen on dental patients. These can be explored and are explained through an interactive guide.
Described as ‘the perfect tool to learn the structure of the teeth and mouth. The high detail and resolution available when viewing an individual tooth, including the internal structures, allows many interesting features of the teeth to be seen and understood.
It contains an educational guide containing facts and detail about each high resolution tooth. This has been written by published experts in the field and gives a medically correct overview of the morphology of the teeth. Real Tooth Morphology can replace a dental textbook as a learning tool and has the advantage of being able to demonstrate the points shown using real 3D tooth models rather than flat diagrams.
The app is available now on most touchscreen devices via the Apple App Store and android Google Play Store.
