This photo of Laney-Walker Boulevard show the water helping Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry freshmen grasp the tex­ level rose above the curb and covered the sidewalk. The 'island' of greenery in the midst of the water is the foliage between the sidewalk and tures, shapes and dimensions of teeth. the roadway. (Phil Jones photo) MCG has partnered with the Georgia Institute of Technology to create the innovative new teaching tool. Several years ago, Dr. Kevin B. Frazier, associate professor of oral rehabilita­ tion, conceived of a teaching cube to help freshman dental students visualize subtle differences in tooth preparations. Dentists must verse themselves thor­ oughly in these subtleties to, for instance, determine the dimensions and con­ figurations of a crown or filling. The cubes, crafted of plaster, have different Internal Medicine tooth-simulated textures and dimensions etched on each side. The plaster models worked well but lasted only long enough to serve the Primary Care Associates needs of one class at a time, Dr. Frazier explained. His colleague, Dr. Daniel C.N. Chan, now has taken the idea a step further to create a more realistic and has Moved! durable cube. Dr. Chan, associate professor and director of operative dentistry, had been collaborating with the Georgia Tech Research Institute on another project when he decided to apply rapid prototyping technology to the cube. "Rapid prototyping is a technique to produce solid objects from computer models," said Dr. Chan. The technique is used at MCG to create crowns and restorations. Dentists enter into a computer the dimensions of a tooth restora­ tion or crown. Blocks of composite or ceramic materials are placed in a produc­ Visit us in our new, convenient West Augusta Dr. Gary Berg tion unit of the computer, and within 30 minutes, the computer crafts a crown or restoration precisely fitted to the programmed dimensions. location - 2834 Hillcreek Drive - off Augusta "Without this technology, dentists would have to send the impressions to a West Parkway near Wheeler Road.

"With the computer, patients can have We are pleased to provide you what they need within half an hour." • Comprehensive care for simple With the help of Dr. David Rosen at Georgia Tech, Dr. Chan has used rapid prototyping to create a new teaching cube. "The new cube, which is made out and complex health care needs of plastic, is very durable and easily changeable to create new tooth situations Health and vvellness counseling for students to study," Dr. Chan said. "Also, we can now ensure that each cube Ample parking at the door is identical, so there will be minimal variations from one student's cube to the Easy access to MCG specialists next." He plans to introduce the cube to dental freshmen next August. "Understanding dimension and depth is very important to a dentist," Dr. Chan j^~ ~"^mmm^ said. "We want to maximize the effects of computer technology, and by linking people and universities together, we're helping our students visualize better For more information and appointments, call MCG than ever before." Internal Medicine Dr. Chan and his colleagues also are applying the technology to research. For (706) 860-4004 Primary Care Associates instance, the dental school's Clinical Research Facilities are testing restorations that resist shrinking. Rapid prototyping enables such quick production of test­ ing specimens that many new educational, research and clinical applications of the technology are now easily within grasp, Dr. Chan said.
