Abstract

New technologies for college education and knowledge are required for the new educative systems. Informatics tools that are applied to biomedical teaching contribute to advance in the learning skills of the student. In the Dentistry area we have this tools very poorly developed, and for this reason we created a model of the craniofacial bones that we believe is going to stimulate the students in learning this area. It is a 3D model, based on a real 3 years old infant head that help us to teach the anatomic structures of a pediatric patient.
