on ancient dentistry. Among the
ancients great success was obtain
ed in this art. Casselins was a
dentist in the reign OF the Roman
triumyirs, and gold was used for
the filling. But nearly 500 B. c.,
gold wasthus used, and gold wire
was employed to hold artificial
teeth in position, aud it does not
seem then to have been q new art.
A fragment OF the tenth of the
Roman tables, 450 b. O., has ref

any gold with the dead except
that bound around the teeth. He.

tains had a knowledge of the dis.
