GOLD 179
General Directions for Proximal or Proximo-Occlusal
Cavities
I. Take up a small piece of gold, and carry it by means
of the foil carriers, into the point angle farthest distant,
holding it in position with a gold holder in the left hand.

Fig. 193.—Stages in filling a proximal cavity on an incisor tooth with cohesive
gold. First fill the linguo-axio-gingival and the labio-axio-gingival point angles with
a half millimeter plugger by means of hand pressure.
Fig. 194.—Unite the two portions of gold by building along the gingivo-axial
line angle. Then change to a M millimeter plugger and condense with mallet
force.

Fig. 195.—The gingival wall and margin of the cavity shown in Figs. 193 and
194 are now covered.
Fig. 196.—The gold has been "levelled up" and is now being carried downward
along the axial wall.
2. Condense thoroughly with hand pressure, by means
of a half millimeter gold plugger, directed equally toward
the three walls forming the point angle, continuing to hold in
