lighter in the pieces of large dimensions, and having less
height before ; at length, when there yet remains some good
teeth, they should be fixed to the best advantage for patients.
The paste which is put in the interstices agglutinates, and
makes it quite solid, giving much beauty to the work."
In resuming the subject, it will be seen, that by the addition
of a mineral solvent, the material of the porcelain is ren-
dered much more fusible than that which we make. The
dentists might make themselves sufficiently acquainted with
these facts to bake it for imitating the gums.
" In this last case, the calliodontes, which might have been
vitrified at the fire of the manufacturers, on trial, does not
differ from that which has been placed in their furnaces."
To colour the base which shapes the gum, see in what
manner it is handled by M. Delabarre ; he expresses himself
thus
" I properly bake the bar—if any crevices are formed in it*
I stop them up with earth, a little more delicate than the first
then I place a covering over it while the fusibility is going
on, and raise the heat to the degree that is calculated for its
semi-vitrification. I incorporate a small quantity of the mu-
riate of gold, I put it in the furnace* and I stop the heat the
moment I obtain the shade I wish ; for it is essential to not
forget that the more the pieces are submitted to its action, the
less the colour is deepened."
In reproducing here the proceedings of M. Delabarre,
we ought not to omit observing, that the last, having for its
discussion the confection of artificial gums, was susceptible
of rendering, in practice, the greatest services, if its execu-
tion did not require the most particular care, and a number
of precautions of which few artists are capable.
In the following section we shall speak of the best means
of mounting incorruptible teeth, to be then fixed and set. in
