Abstract

Dental teaching and practicing apparatus for the simulation and practice of dental-clinical working or operating procedures, such as are generally employed for the education and training of dentists and their assistants. The apparatus which represents or incorporates a patient-simulator can be individually positioned, especially with consideration being given to limited space or place conditions, whereby during non-use thereof the apparatus can be brought into a space-saving stored position, and can also be set up in such a manner that within an unchanged assembly, it is comfortable for either a right-handed or left-handed person.
