Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Medical Education
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Bones are essential for anatomy education but often scarce for practical classes.
  • Limited availability of anatomical specimens hinders comprehensive student learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an accessible and low-cost method for duplicating bone specimens.
  • To provide a solution for the scarcity of anatomical materials in educational settings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized thermoplastic impression material for creating bone molds.
  • Employed polymer cast material for replicating the bone structures.
  • Demonstrated the technique using a human mandible as an example.

Main Results:

  • Successfully duplicated bone specimens with high fidelity.
  • The method proved effective for various materials, including plaster and clay models.
  • The process is cost-effective for anatomy laboratories.

Conclusions:

  • This method offers a practical and economical solution for bone duplication in anatomy education.
  • Rare or fragile anthropological specimens can be safely replicated for study.
  • Ensures adequate resources for hands-on learning in anatomy.
