In dentistry, a typodont is a model of the oral cavity, including teeth, gingiva, and the palate. A typodont is an educational tool for dental and hygienist students, allowing them to safely practice certain dental procedures on the plastic teeth of a model before actually performing the procedures on live patients.[1]
