Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dental Digest, Vol. 2: A Monthly Summary of Dental Science Devoted to the Progress of Dentistry, the Official Organ of the Dental Protective Association of the United States; January December, 1896 They may be applied in most cases to roots, preparatory to crown setting, and will open up around the stump so that the operator can see what he is doing, while trimming it to receive the band or fitting the porcelain to it. They are worn with very slight dis comfort and produce no soreness, and are kept on for a day or two, when the tooth is ready for the Operation. I drill a slot on its. Labial face (fig. 3) one-eighth of an inch, or perhaps less, 'in length, starting very slightly above the gum line, one-sixteenth of an inch in width, and as deep as it is safe to go, making an undercut with a wheel or inverted cone bur, and to insure a neat operation the lower end of the slot, this being a superior bicuspid, should be carefully squared, otherwise it will be apparent where the ends of the bandage are connected. Next with a knife-edged disc I cut a notch on the palatal face of the tooth near the cusp (fig. 4) and looking toward the gum, so as to give a good firm rest for the gold which is to be fitted into it. I now apply the rubber-dam and prepare the cavities. The only excavating which is demanded is simply what is necesary for the removal of the decay, as the shape of the cavity is of no consequence. This is an important feature of the opera tion and one that will commend itself to the patient, for in many cases a large share of the pain, which would be unavoidable in preparing a cavity for the reception of a metallic filling, is obviated. I fill with oxyphosphate, restoring the contour, and wait for the cement to set, then smooth with polishing strips and remove the darn.
