Abstract

A dental teaching and practicing simulator comprising a stationery work bench having a work surface and a completely enclosed storage compartment. The storage compartment has a door with locking means thereon to restrict access to the storage compartment. The dental simulation and teaching equipment is mounted on a slide mechanism which can be stored within the compartment and slid out therefrom for utilization. The dental simulation and teaching equipment comprises a mannequin head, a torso, handpieces, and vacuum tools which are normally used in dentistry. The dental simulation and teaching equipment can be stored and locked in the storage compartment such that access thereto is limited. Thus, a safe and secure environment is provided for the equipment until its authorized use.
