Abstract
The invention relates to a method and device for learning and training dental treatment techniques, according to which a force is applied to a tooth () preferably by means of tools () in order to examine or treat this tooth. A mandible () or the tooth () is coupled to a force measuring device () in a manner that enables the forces applied to the tooth () to be represented in the form of electric measurement signals () that are fed to a data processing device (). Said data processing device has a data memory () in which a multitude of reference force/time courses of different force/time-determined tooth treatment steps can be stored in a manner that enables them to be retrieved, whereby the forces applied to the tooth () and their temporal course are compared with a reference force/time course.
