For periodontal patient education — transparent tissue shows healthy bone level versus severe bone resorption side-by-side so patients directly see the bone loss that is otherwise invisible clinically.

Healthy bone level versus severe bone resorption.   The transparent tissue allows the patient to see directly at a bone level they otherwise would not be able to see.  Create a sense of urgency with a patient to complete their periodontal treatment and show the direct effects of periodontal disease.  The teeth are screw retained so you can practice instrumentation on the model and also use as a great visual with your probe to show the patient how deep certain pockets are.
