Dental Art Among the Japanese,

DIR. w. ST. George Elliot, formerly of Troy,
N. Y, now at Yokohama, Japan sends to
the Dental Cosmos an interesting account Of
japanese habits in regard to teeth, and of the
state of dentistry in that empire. He says
that the teeth of the daughters of Japan are
objects of envy, and it is rem arkable
that people who place so much value upon
their teeth should keep up the custom Of
blackening them after marriage. As a race
the Japanese have got good teeth, and it is
rare to find an old person with any at all.
Their tooth brushes consist of tough wood,
pounded at one end to loosen the fib e /,
They resemble paint-brushes, and owing to
their shape it is impossible to get one behind
the teeth. As might lie expected, there is an
accumulation of tartar which frequently
draws the teeth Of old people. The greatest ac-
cumulation of tartar is behind the lower or
ais, and these are frequently cemented to-
getber by a dense, dark-brownldeposit quar-
ter of all inch in thickness. Their process of
manufacturing false teeth is very crude. The
plates are made of wood, and the teeth con-
sist Of tacks driven up from under the side. A
piece of wax is heated and pressed into the
roof of the mouth. 1t is then taken out AID
hardened by putting 1t into cold watei.
Another piece of heated wax is api lied to the
impression, and, after being pressed into
shape, is hardened. A piece of wood is theS
roughly cut into the desired form, and the
model, having smeared with red paint, is ap-
piled to it Where tn y touch each other a
mark is left by the paint. This is cut away till
they touch evenly all over. Sharks teeth,
bits of ivory, or stone, for teeth, are set INTO
the wood and retained in position by being
strunS on thread which is secured on each
end BY peg driven into the hole where the
thread makes its exit from the base. Iron or
copper tacks are driven into the ridge to
serve ior mastcating purposes, the unequal
wear of the wood and metal keeping up the
desired roughness. Their full sets answer al
mirably tor the mastication OF food, hu
as they do not improve the looks, they are worn
but little for ornament. The ordinary service
of set of teeth is about five years, but they
frequently last much longer. All full upper
sets are retained by atmospheric pressure.
This principle is coequal with art. In Japa,,,
dentistry exists only as mechanical trade
and the status of those who practice it js'not
very high. II is, in fact, graded WITH carpen-
ters-their word hadyikfsan p~sning tooth

the danger.
