If this question were posed to me, my answer would certainly be: yes! But I believe that, in general, everyone would answer the opposite. Obviously, this cannot happen either with the dental anatomy lessons traditionally offered by universities, or with traditional private courses, which have the handicap of knowing nothing
about how to design a shape “from the inside,” nor about the anatomical-functional codes already inscribed by nature in the design of the normal human tooth.
Furthermore, the teaching, and the duration of serious training, must have the same characteristics that a music conservatory provides for those who want to approach the instrument professionally, whether manual or digital. You don’t become a musician by going to a concert, nor do you learn to
model in a two-day course. I say this not only because this topic is given little space, but also because, when lessons do exist, they are wrong. Yes, wrong, without ifs or buts!

I have studied human teeth for over 30 years with measuring instruments and have published extensively on the subject. I have been teaching dentists and dental technicians how to reproduce natural human anatomy for 25 years, using a unique approach centered on simple numbers and basic geometries (AFG). For this reason, I maintain that the methods used until now are flawed or obsolete. Let me explain: the old schools, which still dominate in institutes and universities, base their search for form on the movements of the TMJ, thus obtaining absurd, unnatural, mechanical forms—but above all, invented, or worse, “designed.” Teeth are genetically programmed: they are born with a definitive shape in the crown area, while joints, etc., are only “ectoplasmic” sketches. The relationships with the bone structures depend on the position of the teeth, not
on their shape. A dentist first needs to refine brain-hand coordination.
This requires serious practice, based on clear criteria, as only small numbers and simple geometries can provide. Only later, after programming (or reprogramming) the brain circuits, will it be possible to access reconstructive materials, such as composites. And it makes no difference whether one works in the analog or digital field.
AFG (Anatomic Functional Geometry), which I conceived and published in 13 languages, has studied not only the secret codes of human anatomy—normal and individual—but has also developed a sequence of coordinated and sequential gestures with which the dentist imagines a human tooth, and with which he can guide his hands in both the
reconstructive and finishing phases. AFG also allows the doctor to explain the tooth to the patient, transforming it into symbols that even a person with basic education can understand. It can therefore generate
marketing focused on the tooth, rather than the location or the technology, saving mountains of money!
Through this form management system, the practice’s management will also change, resulting in enormous gains in professional authority—and finally, financial gains. It seems impossible, but with AFG, this becomes a reality after a thorough training period. The numbers in your teeth will also make the accounts add up.

Last but not least: unequivocal control over laboratory work, to reduce the devastation of delivering “capsules” that end up in the mouths of unsuspecting patients every day. This also results in a drastic reduction in misunderstandings and reworks, even resulting in improved legal protection. From our analysis, almost 99% of the mouths treated by men have absurd and flat prosthetic teeth, or, at best, shapes that have nothing to do with the remaining teeth. In addition to the traditional schools, there are also those of the so-called “prosthetic tooth,” according to which the internal components of the tooth can be positioned as desired, without any respect for the rules dictated by nature. According to these “pseudologic” theories, the tooth only works when it is free, and not when it has to chop a salad! They don’t even ask where the food bolus ends up, or whether the person is forced to make unnatural movements with their lips and cheeks to prevent food from falling out of the mouth.
Fortunately, nature exists, it has its own rules—and AFG knows them well!
