Not a chance it's dental white filling. It's incredibly expensive because the stuff has to set without heat, not shrink on setting, give off no toxic/noxious components, look like tooth, be impervious to pressure equivalent to an elephants foot , resist heat close to boiling point, cold close to freezing, ph changes from very acid to very alkali, be stable in water, have same co efficient of expansion as tooth , be resistant to sheer and compressive forces etc etc etc. It will then have to be capable of lasting in these challenging conditions for decades.

No way would you use one of the most demanding bioengineering challenges in modelling!

Actually, many of those requirements are just as relevant in other fields. In fact the only one that isn't is the toxic / noxious bit!

I did say specialised, we are not talking a five quid plastic kit!
