Brown & Hebransons "3-D Interactive Atlas of Human Teeth" is the most complete compilation of information on dental anatomy ever produced. This advanced high-tech educational aid is produced in collaboration with the Stanford/NASA Biocomputation Center at Stanford University. The difficulty of learning how to form three-dimensional mental models from two-dimensional images will be dramatically improved. Individual differences in spatial ability strongly predict learners ability to comprehend 3-D structures. Having active control of the 3-D interactive models increases the visual depth cures significantly improving spatial abilities and clinical performance of the users.
