Model scope & sources

Explore 265 oral and neighboring structures from an open anatomical atlas. Twenty teeth use registered, higher-resolution source surfaces; 17 structures use the original artist’s render-level subdivision. Colors and gloss are visual aids.

Included structures

28 permanent teeth; jaw, palate, sphenoid and hyoid bones; tongue, gums, soft palate and uvula; major salivary glands and ducts; tonsils, jaw joints, chewing and mouth-floor muscles; major vessels and lymph nodes; and major nerves, including the infraorbital and incisive nerves and the five facial-nerve branch groups.

Important gaps

This is not a complete microscopic reproduction. Wisdom teeth, lip and cheek mucosa and frenula, tongue papillae and taste buds, intrinsic tongue muscles, some palatal muscles, the superior alveolar and palatine nerves, the lingual artery, the pterygoid venous plexus, the maxillary sinus, and all small glands, peripheral nerves and capillaries are not represented. Complete enamel, dentine, pulp and periodontal-ligament layers are not available for every tooth. Some original internal dentine surfaces remain in the lower first molars. The superior alveolar, palatine and nasopalatine nerves, the lingual artery and the maxillary sinus can be shown as a separate schematic layer (Display tools → Schematic paths) drawn from landmarks in this model; it is not measured anatomy.

The atlas represents general adult anatomy, not a patient-specific scan or a clinically validated replica. Model-to-model alignment measures do not establish clinical accuracy. Category layouts preserve scale but rearrange positions for study. Section cuts draw the inside of each cut structure in a flat colour; they are not tissue sections.

University reference models

These are separate reference models. An internet connection is required to open the external 3D viewer.

These references have different sources and scales, so their geometry has not been merged into this atlas. If the external viewer is unavailable, use the source link.
