Product Description
The PTC Triple A° Smile Library is a set of 5 smile libraries for 3Shape CAD Systems. The 5 libraries are based on PTC's popular training teeth, the Ness Teeth, in 5 stages of wear, making it easy to quickly pick the right library for the case being designed.

Unlike other tooth libraries, since all 5 libraries were created from scans of the worn Ness Teeth, they contain all the features of natural teeth, even in the advanced stages of wear. With each stage, cusp and ridge angles are reduced, wear facets are increased, the occlusal anatomy becomes shallower and less pronounced, the proximal contacts are flattened, and the embrasures are reduced, just like natural teeth. All teeth include a contoured CEJ for superior contours on subgingival preparations and pontics, rather than the cylindrical look of so many library teeth. Each library still retains all the esthetic principles we teach in our courses, such as the occlusal plane, the curve of Spee and curve of Wilson, centrals flat to the front, long axes, the curve of the arch, the turn of the arch, and the buccal corridor. The 5 libraries are, in ascending order of wear:
- PTC Ness Teeth
- PTC Youthful
- PTC Middle Aged
- PTC Worn
- PTC Ultra Worn
