DENTAL SCIENCE.

Continuous artificial GumS.-There was pa
tented in 1851 an improvement in mechanical den
istry, which. though the validity Of the patent Is
still contested, seems to be an improvement Of 10
ordinary Importance. II consists in laying aroura
the roots of the teeth, and over the whole exposed
surface of the plate. a composition of porcelain,
which melts at little less heat than the teeth. Aul
forms itself into Continuous Gum, when exposcl
10 proper temperature in furnace. The result
Of this process when successfully managed, Is 4
durable and Interchangeable set of teeth aud guns,
without single creyiee in which particle ofkd
or saliva, may lodge and become offensive lri

same delicate pink, as is usually given to the small
portions ofgum attached to ordinary artificial teeth
The ordinary gold plate melts, under the intense
white heat employed, and the almost infusibepla-
tina is invariably used. This process altOgeths'
requires more skill than is possessed by ordinary
dentists, and there are only two who are using
in this State. Pos, & COmegys and now DR. Comegys,
the successor to the firm Of Post & Comegys, have
furnished good many sets Of artificial teeth after
this style. the gums in every case being continuous
and perfect. Persons wanting artificial work are
advised to call on DR.. Comegys and examine the
work previous to engaging ordinary artificial vOEk
