Modifiable clinical dental impression methods to obtain whole-mouth and detailed dental traits from vertebrates

|
By Johannes Nicolaus Wibisana, Ray Sallan, Towa Ota, Pavel Puchenkov
| BioRxiv
Abstract Dental impressions, developed for accurate capture of oral characteristics in human clinical settings, are seldom used in research on non-livestock, non-primate, and especially non-mammalian, vertebrates due to a lack of appropriate tools. Studies of dentitions in most vertebrate species usually require euthanasia and specimen dissection, microCT and other scans with size and resolution tradeoffs, and/or ad-hoc individual impressions or removal of single teeth.
