If you don't remember the prep techniques or procedures in Restorative Dentistry or Fixed Prosthodontics on your dental work assignments? Don't worry! No need to plug in your laptop and scroll up and down to find the procedures. Do it the conventional way by using the Vinmar Solutions Dental Student Teaching Models with Evaluation Cards.

ResinRock, a new, resin fortified die stone produces models of the highest quality. Die Stone is a Type IV die stone with consistent expansion and ideal for making master models.
- The grade sheets are laminated. The laminates protect sheets from abrasion, spills, heat and everyday wear and tear. You can also mark on them with a felt pen and clean them with a cloth and isopropyl alcohol. (You can also use a Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol as well). Here are the seven goals we expect to achieve with our dental teaching models and evaluation sheets?
- Focusing on what most dental students want to achieve in their work.
- Help the dental student concentrate on their strengths and weaknesses in regards to eye-hand coordination.
- Avoid over-commenting or “picking apart” students’ work.
- Our teaching models and evaluation sheets are not to replace grading policies, standards, and criteria to teaching dental students in your courses or dental schools. Its only to build self-confidence in the dental student.
- To encourage the dental students and graders to share grading concerns and questions with each other in regards to the dental students' performance.
- The strategy is to have our teaching models help the students in their Pre-clinical lab teaching experiences . (The strategy is to put the emphasis on the evaluative, rather than the teaching and function of grading).
- Have dental students grade each other's lab work at the same time in the same place so they can compare their grades on certain sections and arrive at a consensus. The models are available to any dental student or pre dental student who wishes to achieve their goals. The teaching models come in three series.
