Short answer: the Anatomage Table is a good fit for a dental school that wants whole-body and head-and-neck anatomy taught on real digitised cadavers and already shares a teaching space with medical or health-science courses. It does not teach tooth preparation, and it is not chairside dental software. If your main gap is hand skills, a haptic trainer answers a different need. Anatomage publishes no price, so this guide covers what you can verify before asking for a quote: models, size, weight, computing limits, updates and what remains unknown.
We checked Anatomage’s and Nissin’s official pages on 9 November 2026. Tested by us: Not tested yet. Everything below is taken from vendor documentation, and we point out where that documentation is silent.

What it adds to a dental curriculum
The Table is a general anatomy platform, so judge it by the parts a dental course would use every term:
- Layered cadaver anatomy. Students can cut, remove layers and isolate structures at life size. In a dental course that means the skull, mandible, muscles of mastication, vessels and nerves, which matter for local anaesthesia and oral surgery teaching.
- Dental Arch simulation. It appears in Anatomage’s list of physiology tools. It is the only explicitly dental feature named on the main Table page.
- Teaching tools. The vendor lists instructor-built quizzes, lecture recording, on-screen notes and 1,031 case-specific anatomy presets.
- Imaging links. The Table 13 page describes a DICOM Activity that quizzes students on anatomy using 3D reconstructions from real CT imaging. The Tablet page shows a fractured condyle among its DICOM multiview examples.
- Table 13 additions worth a look. A swallowing simulation that the vendor says involves more than 50 structures, and histology slides, listed at 1,598 specimens.
What we could not find: a dental-school page on anatomage.com, or any mention of teeth, TMJ or occlusion modules on the Table and Table 13 pages. Ask the vendor to show the exact head-and-neck content you plan to teach, using your own syllabus as the checklist.
What drives the cost of running one
There is no public price list, so treat any figure you see in a forum or a reseller listing as unverified. These are the items that decide the total cost of owning a Table, and the questions to put in your request for a quote.
Room and floor
A 330 to 380 lb unit with a footprint of around seven feet by just under three feet needs a planned location. Anatomage does not publish power, ventilation or floor-loading requirements, so get them in writing and show them to your estates team. For the Convertible, remember the 85.8-inch height in its upright position, and check door widths and lift access for delivery.
The computer inside
This is the most useful detail buried in the vendor’s update pages, and it matters most if you are offered an older or second-hand unit:
| Table shipped | Graphics card | Latest update, per Anatomage |
|---|---|---|
| On or after May 2021 | RTX 3070 or newer | Fully supported |
| January 2019 to May 2021 | RTX 2070 | Runs, possibly with reduced performance |
| Before January 2019 | GTX 1080 or older | Hardware must be updated first |
Software updates
The Table 13 release is limited to the full anatomy software on the Classic, Convertible and Clinical models. Anatomage’s Table 12 update page said that update was free. The Table 13 update page says nothing about cost, so ask directly. Updates are requested through a form, the vendor allows up to five business days to process a request, and it says complimentary update USB drives are no longer provided. A room without reliable internet needs the offline installer route.
Staff time and service
Quizzes, presets and lectures only help if someone builds them into the timetable. Budget faculty hours for that work. Warranty length, repair arrangements and what happens if the touchscreen fails are not on the public pages, so make them contract questions.
Anatomage Table vs the alternatives for dental teaching
| Criterion | Anatomage Table | Simodont Dental Trainer | 3D Tooth Atlas 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Virtual cadaver dissection | Haptic practice of dental preparations | Tooth morphology study |
| Form | Life-size touch table | Workstation with force-feedback handpiece, 78 cm wide | Software for PC and iPad, plus VR apps |
| Users at once | A group around one screen | One student per unit | One student per device |
| Teaches tooth preparation | No | Yes | No |
| Free access | None | None | Conditionally free (shareware) |
| Tested by us | Not tested yet | Not tested yet | Not tested yet |
The Simodont Dental Trainer from Nissin lists modules for cariology, crown and bridge, endodontics, implantology, periodontics, paediatric dentistry, manual dexterity and dental anatomy on its product page. It complements a dissection table rather than replacing one. For individual tooth study, eHuman’s 3D Tooth Atlas is the lower-commitment route. For free radiograph measurement exercises, ImageJ / Fiji is open source and needs no special hardware. Our dental anatomy education software guide compares these options in more detail.
Who it suits, and who it does not
- Good fit: a university where dental, medical and allied health students can share the unit and its timetable; a school without regular cadaver access; anatomy faculty who will write their own quizzes and presets.
- Poor fit: a programme whose real shortage is pre-clinical hand skills; a small private course with a few students a year; anyone looking for a tool to use on patient cases in a dental practice.
- Be careful: a used unit shipped before 2019, unless the seller and vendor confirm what it takes to run current software.

FAQ
What is the Anatomage Table price?
Anatomage does not publish one. Its pages direct buyers to a contact form to book a demonstration. Ask for hardware, delivery, updates and service as separate lines.
Can I use the Anatomage Table online for free?
No free online version appears on the official site. Access normally comes through a school or simulation centre that owns a Table.
What is the latest version of the Anatomage Table software?
On 9 November 2026 the newest version named by Anatomage was Table 13, listed for 2026. Table 12 is listed for 2025.
Is an Anatomage Table for sale second-hand worth considering?
Only after confirming the shipping date and graphics card against the table above, and asking Anatomage whether the unit can still receive updates and service. Those transfer terms are not published.
What does the Anatomage Tablet do?
The vendor describes it as a companion that is compatible with the Table, with more than 2,600 labelled structures, patient cases, quizzes and DICOM multiviews. The Table 13 update does not cover it unless Anatomage says otherwise. The product page does not list its operating systems.
Can a dental clinic use the Anatomage Table for diagnosis?
Anatomage’s Table page says the product assists in medical diagnosis, but we found no FDA or CE statement on the pages we checked. Do not treat it as a dental diagnostic system. For CBCT reading, use dedicated dental imaging software cleared for that purpose in your country.
