Toofer Model and Kicking the Coffee Habit

Viade 2072 Model
Boys and there toys! I just got my new Viade #2072 Clear Model yesterday and I am perdy darn excited about it. Man, I wish I had this during tooth morphology! 


The reason I bought this was three-fold. (1) To have an accurate model of tooth anatomy including roots; (2) removable teeth for individual comparison (+ see through structure to view roots in centric occlusion); & (3) to help study for boards next year and have a comparison for projects in my D2 Year.


PS, this is not an endorsement for Viade or their products. Just me being excited.

Was it worth buying? I dont know, it wasn't that expensive in the first place! Maybe after taking the boards and using it for projects in second year I will have a better idea. But for now, it looks cool sitting on my desk and will make a good book end for after dental school. [Thansk to @DiaryofaDentalStudent who led me onto this product]


A little bit about my life: I have given up coffee and as much caffiene as possible for the summer! I know I will need a good -wake-me-up- once school starts so I am not going to be overly ambitious and claim I have kicked the habit for good. I mean, come on now, I love coffee! It is day 6 of giving up coffee and I am over the skill-crushing headaches and anger-driven madness that withdrawal brings (and also the sitting in the corner scratching at the walls, crying, and shaking). The first day of being coffee-free was easy, just a mild headache that went away as I went about my day. Day 2 and 3 were the worst and I had to give in and take a Excedrin Migraine w/ caffeine to dull the pain and get a little fix. Once I relapse at the start of dental school, my goal is to study less and practice my coffee art more, maybe something like this:

    I liked the jaw model. I think it would've been brilliant if I had one like this ,with root canals, when I was practicing RCT. =P
