Hello Folks,

I need some advice on buying the Dentoform/Typodont for Bench test practice.

1. Which is good and helpful for testing - soft or hard gingiva?
2. Which is good for practicing and testing -Ivorine or Plastic teeth?
3. Also do I need to look for the specifications like Curve of Spee or something, becoz its really confusing?
4. Which is good- Kilgore or Columbia?

Please do help me with answers for these questions.
Also anybody up for sale can PM me.

Thank you.

Soft gingiva, Ivorine teeth, Look at occlusion, and Kilgore or Columbia depends on your preference and which schools you want to practice for.. Most schools use Kilgore.
 
Thank you asd123 for your feedback! If you could elaborate on the occlusion that what I need to look, that would be great!

Well you don't look for the Cure of Spee since that is only in real dentition. You just need to make sure the occlusion is correct.. like there are no high points, but if there are any you can articulate and selectively grind. Anyways when you order from Columbia or Kilgore the occlusion should be correct.
