sections of the tooth, are now selected and applied according to the
method just described. It is better to apply them separately and fire
them to a high biscuit, after which a uniform layer is spread over the en-
tire mass and fused.
If the cavity on the labial or buccal surface extends beyond the neck
of the tooth, and the gum has receded (Fig. 7), that portion of the inlay
replacing the cementum can be constructed of pink porcelain to imitate
the gum. The foundation should be applied as for other cavities on these
surfaces. Select and apply an enamel in the gingival third that ap-
proaches the hue of the enamel. Then apply a gum enamel body to re-
place the cementum. It should be contoured to represent the festoon of
the gum and then fused. This causes the inlay to be more deceptive
than one constructed entirely of yellow porcelain.
