The art of constructing and properly adjusting artificial teeth and artificial plates will not be without interest, even to the casual reader, for the perfection to which this most useful art has attained, from the period of its crude and bungling cseays, is perhaps, unsurpassed in any other departmentand must afford pleasure 10 every true lover of progress. Ope of the most serious deformities and incon- veniences incident to age, and one, too, not confiued to gray hairs, but common to the adult, and even to the youth,1s the decay and final loss of those most useful organs of speech and mastication, the teeth. And it must be a sort of gratification to every lover of progress. as well as every friend of humanity, to know that by the discoveries made in this art these deficiencies can be so far remedied as that the loss of our teeth can be considered no longer an unalleviated affliction. They can now be replaced by artificial ones 50 closely resembling the nacural as not to be detected without close examination ard 50 well subserving every purpose as greatly to mitigate the inconvenience of their loss. Itisa ploasure to record that mechanical dentistry nasarrived at such a state of perfection, which twenty years ago its most zealous operators never anticipated or dreamed of. But he who thinks that practical und successful dentistry can be performed by any one with almost no skill is greatly mistaken. He who would be a suc- cessful dentist should unite an enlighened judginent with great practical skill. He should understand the anatomy of physiology of the mouth and be thoroughly skilled in the various mechanical manipulations that pertain to the prothesis of these organs. Teeth can not, like coats, be furnished ready made to order. No one can be- come a successful dentist in this department unless he be a natural mechanic. Thero is now more quackery in this art vhan any other extant. Let us look briefly at its history. Substances Employed for Artificial Teeth. The qualities which should be sought in artificial teeth are durability and resemblance tothe natural organs. In the first essays of this art human teeth were employed. When theso were the revolting idea of wearing another’s teeth, in which, perhaps, were disease. The repugnance can scarcely be overcome. N The teoth of neat cattio were also used by altering their shapo, theso, of course, being ftted by sawing and filings.but by the absorption and decom position of the saliva they became feetid, rendering the taste and odor very offensive. Teeth from ivory and tusks of the hippopotamus were next used, but these, like the last mentioned, were permeable bythe fluids of the mouth and soon became obnoxious to the wearer, as well as to those who were in his presence. Porcelain teeth were nfterward introduced by the French, but these, too, were deficient in so many ways that they were not received at first with approbation. The Perfection of the Art Dueto the Americans. Although the Frenchled the way in this most valuable invention, it is princi- pally to American Dentists wo are indebted for the perfection now attained in the manufacture of porcelain teeth. g A want of resemblance to the natural teeth, in color and animation, was the great objection urged against porcelain. Such perfection has now been attained that few can tell these teeth from the natural. Their advantages over every sort of animal substance are numerous They can be more perfectly fitted to the mouth and are worn with greater onvenience and comfort. i They do not absorb its secretions, and, if properly cleansed, do not contam- nate the breath and never change their color. 5 These and other considerations entitle them to universal favor. Methods of Applying Artificial Teeth. Here great progress has been attained in this art, as in the lelucuo?. of the material for the teeth. The methods for applying the teeth are four: First, on roots of natural teeth; second, on plate, with clasps; third, with epring, and fourth, by atmospheric pressure. We need notdescant upon the comparative ad- vantages and disadvantages of these several methods. The dependence upon atmospheric pressure is now almost univer: ally re- Gold has been the kind of plate sanctioned and used almost entirely by the best dentists until recently. The modes of attaching the teeth are various, and to the dentist would fur- nish an interesting detail, but by the general reader would be considered unwor- thy attention. Last Great Improvement----Continuous Gum Worlf. But the ne plus ultra of the dental art, and that which should supercedo all former practice, is that which has been denominated the continuous gum, in- vented by Dr. J.Allen, formerly of Cincinnati, now of New York City. On its first introduction there were, as almost always happens, many radi- cal difficulties to be overcome. But all dificulties have, to the one skilled in manipulation, at length been overcome, rendering the teath, thus made, more durable, natural in nv.mnrmme almost defying detection, and most effective in mastication, the most important function of teeth, and the one hitherto imperfectly attained. A set of continuous gum teeth has many advantages over those formed in any other way. And, first, there can be no counterfoiting or alloying of the metal employed for the plate, which is platinum. 1f alloyed it will not bear the heat omployed in bakting. The metalis not acted upon by the fluids of the mouth. The platinum place being more compact and at the eame time more pliable, is made to fit more cimpletely every irregu- larity of the mouth, and when flowed over with porcelan, becomes very much stronger. ,\nuuin there are no interstices in which the food can lodge, rendering artifi- cial teeth, as ordinarily made, offensive and unhealthy. Ovportunity is farnished to aflapt the verge of the gum more perfectly to the mouth, and thus filling out the contour of the jaw, rendering the face more youth- ful and natural in appearance. Tt is impossible t break the teeth off by proper usage. They aro much smoother to the mouth, and persons who have used both say that the continuous P > i sound and coated with a good enamel and were suitable in every respect they were esteemed preferable to any other substan presented here in the defects of the material i A But think of the difficulties elf, deficiency of the supply, an garded as the most a| The firmness wit) proved course, and the one practiced most extensively. which teeth ¢an he made to adhere on this principle render them the most desirable, There may be cases which might determine recourse 0 one of the other methods, but they will be found rare indeed.
