that would save you a lot of money too, but i woudn't go to a dentist who only has about 2 teeth left.
Go to the rowdiest biker bar you can find and knock over the motorcycles parked out side domino style.
Assuming you're still alive at the end of the night you should be able to get the teeth you need 😉

I don't know too many schools that don't. There are limitations to what you can do on a typodont tooth. Cutting on plastic still feels like plastic, and it's next to impossible to do endo on a tooth that has a screw in the bottom.

Tufts is also having people collect teeth before school starts... here's what they said:
The following guidelines and precautions are provided by the Center for Disease Control and are recommended when handling human extracted natural teeth for use in dental educational settings:
1. All specimens should be stored in a securely sealed specimen container with a sufficient amount of common household bleach, diluted 1:10 with tap water (approximately 5,000 ppm of free available chlorine).
2. Before manipulating extracted teeth in dental educational settings, the teeth should be cleaned of adherent patient material (by scrubbing with detergent and water), and then stored in a fresh solution of diluted bleach.
3. Persons handling extracted teeth should wear gloves. Gloves should be disposed of properly and hands washed after completion of work activities. Additional personal protective equipoment (e.g. mask and eyewear, or face shield) should be worn if mucous membrane contact with debris or spatter is anticipated when handling, cleaning, or manipulating the specimen.
4. Work surfaces and equipment should be cleaned and then decontaminated with an appropriate liquid chemical germicide after completion of work activities.
They also said that the CDC Division of Oral health developed recommendations that permit students to collect human extracted teeth for dental school use as long as appropriate regulations for decontamination are followed.
I called about 5 oral surgeons in my area and all of them said that they, and their staff, would collect teeth for me, I made sure to let them know that I needed *all* kinds of teeth and not just 3rd molars.
Good luck,
Utes

Thats awful. The sad thing is, its probably true. I sure wouldn't laugh at it though.
Exactly...
Any particular reason why you brought it back to life?
EDIT: sorry didn’t see the other response
There are plastic teeth for Endo
I am a dental school hopeful in the near future and I shadowed an oral surgeon and probably have 15 extracted teeth so far including my own wisdom teeth! Usually older patients don't want their teeth and the assistants cleaned them up for me and put them in a container.
