    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education
    • Biomaterials Engineering

    Background:

    • Small instructional models, like tooth preparation replicas, are essential for consistent dental education and evaluation.
    • Fabricating dental models from molds is an alternative to purchasing them, but model removal can be problematic.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a novel device for the efficient removal of small dental models from molds.
    • To address the difficulties, time consumption, and potential mold damage associated with manual model extraction.

    Main Methods:

    • Assembly of a compressed air injection device using readily available market parts.
    • Application of compressed air into the mold to facilitate model separation.

    Main Results:

    • The compressed air injector device enables easy and rapid separation of small dental models from molds.
