3D Modeling Molar
Digital Dental Technology Training
3D Modeling of a Molar is part of the hands-on dental technology training offered at our dental school. This training focuses on teaching students how to digitally design and shape molar teeth using modern computer-aided design (CAD) tools commonly used in today’s dental laboratories and clinics.
Students learn how digital tooth modeling supports accuracy, consistency, and efficiency in restorative and prosthetic dentistry.
What Is 3D Modeling Molar?
3D Modeling of a Molar is the process of digitally recreating the natural shape and anatomy of a molar tooth. Using specialized dental software, students design crowns, occlusal surfaces, and anatomical details that closely match real human teeth.
This skill is essential for modern dental technicians, as digital workflows are now widely used for crowns, bridges, dentures, and other dental restorations.
