teeth molds
notes: label: Description
content: Set of dental models used in a 2012 study at the School of Dental Medicine at the University at Buffalo Laboratory for Forensic Odontology Research. Made of WhipMix Jade Stone (gypsum composite), these teeth were used by Hannah Holtkötter in conjunction with a bite apparatus (see 2023.0110.01) for bitemark studies on cadavers. This set systematically varies tooth positions, specifically those of the incisors and canines.
