    A new, simple external casting technique uses dental impression materials to create realistic anatomical models. This method accurately captures detailed skin and nail features for both normal and pathological conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomical modeling
    • Medical illustration
    • Forensic science

    Background:

    • Accurate anatomical models are crucial for various scientific and medical applications.
    • Existing casting methods can be complex, expensive, or lack detail.
    • A need exists for accessible and precise methods for external anatomical casting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simplified technique for external anatomical casting.
    • To utilize readily available dental impression materials for model creation.
    • To achieve life-like permanent models with high topographical accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel external casting technique was developed.
    • Dental impression materials were employed for their accessibility and properties.

  • The technique focuses on capturing detailed surface features of skin and nails.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed technique successfully produced life-like permanent anatomical models.
    • The models accurately retained topographical features of both normal and pathological skin and nails.
    • The use of dental impression materials proved effective and simplified the casting process.

    Conclusions:

    • The simplified external casting technique offers an accessible and effective method for creating detailed anatomical models.
    • This technique is suitable for applications requiring precise representation of skin and nail topography, including normal and pathological cases.
    • The use of dental impression materials provides a cost-effective and readily available solution for anatomical casting.
