Garengeot continues
"If the tooth must be filed, nothing else can result from the force neces-
sary to be exerted iipon the file than that the tooth must be very much
shaken, and hence a tooth that has been so disturbed from extensive and
oft repeated shaking must become loose, and does not grow firm again in
its socket, and, in consecjuencc, in tiiuc drops out.
To this Fauchard replies:
'If the teeth were as secure against all accidents as they are from in-
juries or shock resulting from the use of the file, they would last througli
the entire life. The small shaking wliich the teeth sustain by reason of
the file does not prevent them from growing firm again, as the elasticity of
the alveolus and of the gums in a healthy and natural condition has strength
to restore the teeth to their firmness. The daily operation of filing has
taught us this, and this experience is still more confirmed liy the fact that
extracted and replaced teeth used in anotlRT mouth grow absolutely firm
again."
Garengeot continues
''I have seen many women of the better classes for whom the teeth have
been made even, in this way (by the use of the file), but who wished three
or four years later that they had never' had tlieir teeth touched, since they
have become carious at tbcir upjier margin where the gums are attached to
them.""
Fauci uTrd says:
"I cannot comprehend how a tooth became carious at the places men-
tioned because it has been filed at its other surface. I concede, however,
that when the operation of filing is done witliout consideration and discrimi-
luition the accidents he fears might occur, as, for instance, when the teeth
are filed so extensively that the internal cavity is exposed, but this can only
occur witli operators who are inexperienced in the art.""
