IMPROVEMENTS IN DENTAL SUR
GERY.-It has tor many years been a great des-
deratum among European and American Dentists TO
nufacture TEETH from ineorruptible Materials which
should initiate the artificial living teeth.
Many have devoted years TO unsuccessful experiments
and others have succeeded in manufacturing Teeth of ma
teras similar to the porcelain ware but generally they
have opaque white appearance, by which they east
ly distinguished from the human Teeth.
After long and tedious experiments the subscriber has
succeeded manufacturing Teeth of materials entirely
incoTruptJe and perfectly imitation of human Teeth
They have semi transparency and are made of various
size and shades.
In cases where absorption of the alveoar process
other may render it necessary, he will cast of the
materials attached to the Teeth: artificial gums,
which shall initiate the Gum and supply the loss OF sub
stance.
II is entirely impossible for these Teeth 10 change their
color or cause footed breath.
He will insert them from TO entire sets, in such
manner that they will make articulation of the voice per
feet and materially assist in nascaton, and TO that they
cannot be distinguished from the most beautiful natural
living Teeth by the most scrntnizng observer.
He also performs all the various operations in Dental
Surgery, according the late scientific Improvements in
