I have one that was purchased as Aloe Dental Work and it looks like the images above but I recently saw a post of a member on a facebook forum and he just picked up a few aloes, one of which said very clearly Aloe Dental Work. He said it came from the Huntington. I am curious if the one the one from the Huntington is the real Dental Work , since it actually came from a reliable source.

Wrong Color and no hyaline teeth----Must be something else. (Tag probably got put in or returned to the wrong pot at the nursery or during a sale.)

Spination's plant looks correct: Note robust, blue-green plant with distinct, prominent hyaline teeth of an orange-ish color. ;)

This plant really is 'Dental Work'. Kelly Griffin confirmed it. The more common smooth clone was an unnamed Kelly hybrid commercial nurseries sold with that name.
