The storage and recall of dental study models pose major problems for orthodontists. This problem may be solved by taking holographic films of study models. A method is described for their fabrication and some preliminary measurements are reported. The image produced by this method has a measurable three-dimensionality which can be produced at a very reasonable cost.
