Abstract
This paper presents a new hierarchical, modular and scalable model of a human face and oral cavity based on anatomical data taken from the Visible Human Project (National Institute of Health). The described model can further be adapted to any particular face and oral cavity of a human head by means of a finite elements method (FEM). The final aim will be to construct functional virtual medical patients
