That is, these conventional dental arch models are largely different from a natural tooth in grinding sensation including slipperiness and easiness in grinding. A tooth for a dental arch model simulating the enamel texture and the dentin texture constituting a natural tooth whereby even the difference in grinding sensation between the enamel texture and the dentin texture constituting a natural tooth can be reproduced by forming at least the enamel portion with the use of a sintered body of an …
