The Dental Office And Laboratory 1895 Vol 9 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Ohio Dental Journal, 1895, Vol. 15 The entire credit of continuous gum work lies in two points: first, in taking it out at the proper temperature maintain an adaptation of the platinum, and the compensation for the effect the shrinkage would have on the palate in hard points upon which there was any shrinkage the adaptation must be altered a little bit. This can be done judiciously and without injury to the plate. Aside from this trouble and the trouble of repairing, that is, with the old furnace and the labor connected with making the fire, continuous gum work is a more certain work than any other that we have. It is certainly the highest type of mechanical den ture. It is more cleanly and it is durable. The tissues retain their health and the ridge retains its form under a platinum denture longer than any other plate. With the furnace Dr. Custer has introduced to this society, repair ing would be a matter of no consideration whatever. If a plate hap pened to fall and something broken off it can be easily restored. From the fact that there is no gas about it, there is no danger of free gas attacking the body. There need be no apprehension of that. I think the introduction of this into the laboratory of the dentist will revolution ize that department. It decreases the trouble arising from accidents if you break a tooth it does not have to go through the big coke furnace when you haven't time for it and don't get paid for it, for you can do it without loss of time. I think it is one of the grandest achievements that has been made in the profession recently, aud I think Dr. Custer deserves a great deal of credit for having solved this problem.
