Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Filling of Teeth With Porcelain (Jenkins's System) A Text Book for Dentists and Students The gratifying fact that the use of porcelain as a material for filling teeth is constantly growing, and that in consequence of the good results achieved the number of those who have in view the adoption of the new method is steadily increasing, has prompted me to undertake a detailed description of this innovation which undoubtedly has a weighty significance for the future of operative dentistry. The present work is intended to afford to the beginner who is unacquainted with this method of filling, a knowledge of it in all its scientific bearings, and to be a faithful guide and adviser during his practical study of it; but I hope it may also give to those who are already skilled, various information hitherto unknown to them and much that will stimulate them to independent work in this field. The preparation of porcelain fillings is a labor demanding much endurance and patience, and not a small degree of accuracy and skill. It requires a willing thoroughness devoted to apparently unimportant details, and it should not be supposed that it makes less claims on the operator than filling with gold. Yet, since porcelain fillings will in course of time become indispensable to every dentist, the sooner a good degree of skill can be attained in their use the greater will be the sucesses achieved. In the June number, 1898, of the Deutsche Deutsche Monotsschrift für Zahaheilkrunde, I published an article on the new Porcelain Enamel of Dr. Jenkins, which was the first German publication of the new method. Although I could then only report the result of trials and observations which I had collected in a few weeks, I wrote that this new material provided by Dr. Jenkins seemed destined to contest rank with gold in many cases, since we were now able to insert fillings scarcely visible to the naked eye in place of those which were objectionable to many patients on account of being too conspicuous. The hope based on the new material at that time has been fulfilled completely and beyond expectation. It is now nearly four years that I have been using the Jenkins Porcelain Enamel, during which time I have made many hundreds of fillings with it for all kinds of cavities. This Porcelain Enamel, which by the way has in the meantime undergone various improvements, more especially in color resistance to heat, is so excellent a composition that I have had almost invariable results and very few mischances in working it.
