§ xv. Of Incorruptible Teeth with Talons.
Ever since the making of incorruptible teeth has been
thought of, the necessity of making them with talons has al-
ways been felt ; that is to say, equal, in all respects, to natural
teeth.
If the dentists who have adopted them, had not made any
to the teeth they fabricate, and contented themselves only
with imitating the exterior surface, which is what they pre-
tend to, than in making the incorruptible teeth thus, there
would be more facility in mounting ; and altogether less
trouble in adjusting them to the mouth, because the teeth
which are opposed to the artificial piece, finding less obstacle
in the way, would not misplace, and consequently derange
them. But the artist who, in his labours, would equal nature
as much as possible, ought lie to give up the work, because
No, certainly not he ought, on
he meets with obstacles ? ;
the contrary, to redouble his efforts and his patience.
The subject with which we are occupied is well worth the
trouble : and having also given it all our application, it is with
