Description
Norman – Multi-Procedure Canine Dental Model
Advancing Veterinary Dental Education
Veterinary dentistry demands skill, precision, and hands-on practice — yet training often relies on cadavers, raising ethical, logistical, and biosecurity concerns. Norman changes that. As the world’s first anatomically accurate, reusable canine dental model, it offers a safe, cost-effective, and modern alternative for students and professionals.
Norman delivers an exceptional hands-on experience by closely replicating the texture, resistance, and responsiveness of real tissue, bone, and dentition. This lifelike feedback reinforces proper technique and allows users to see and feel outcomes such as flap integrity, tissue positioning, and closure success .
Key Features
- Complete anatomy: Replicates soft tissues, periodontal structures, mandibular canals, nerve foramina, and full endodontic detail.
- Realistic soft tissue fidelity: Separate mucosa and periosteum layers allow accurate flap creation, fenestration, and tension-free closure.
- True-to-life tactile response: Provides authentic feedback for incisions, drilling, suturing, extractions, and flap manipulation.
- Diagnostic radiographs: Produces images that closely mirror true canine anatomy, including pulp canals, neurovascular structures, and mandibular bone detail.
Built to support repeated procedures on a single unit, eliminating reliance on cadavers.
Clinical Training Applications
Norman supports practice in essential veterinary dental procedures, including:
- Radiographic positioning and diagnostic interpretation
- Regional anesthesia (nerve blocks)
- Tooth extractions (simple and complex)
- Gingival incisions and flap surgery
- Root canal treatment
- Suturing techniques
Future versions will expand capabilities further, enabling simulation of tumours, malocclusions, and skeletal deformities for surgical planning and advanced training.
Why Choose Norman?
Competing non-cadaveric models are typically modular and limited — requiring separate units for radiography, endodontics, or surgical skills. Norman is different. It is a unified, anatomically complete training environment that covers the full sequence of dental procedures in one platform. This continuity allows learners to progress naturally from diagnostics through to advanced surgery without interruption.
Norman delivers a realistic training experience by replicating the texture, resistance, and responsiveness of actual tissue, bone, and dentition. It reinforces correct technique by allowing users to see and feel accurate outcomes such as tissue positioning, flap integrity, and closure success — features unmatched by lower-fidelity models.
Changing the Way We Learn Veterinary Dentistry
By replacing cadavers with a sustainable and standardised alternative, Norman sets a new benchmark for veterinary dental education. It offers realistic anatomy, reproducible training conditions, and safe practice opportunities — all without ethical or biosecurity concerns. Norman is not just a model, but a step forward in shaping how the next generation of veterinarians learn, practice, and master dentistry.
