Trials have been made at London with
. new apparatus for the extraction Of
teeth by electricity. 1t consists in an
induction coil of extremely fine wire,
having an interrupter that can vibrate
ct the rate of 430 times a second. The
patient sits in the traditional armchair
and takes the negative electrode in his
left and the positive in his right. At
this moment the operator turns on q
current whose intensity is gradually in
creased till ii has attained the utmost
limit that the patient can support The
extractor is then put in circuit and fas-
tened on the tooth, which, under the
action Of the vibrations. is loosened at
once
The operation is performed very
quickly, and the patient feels no other
than the pricking produced in
the hands and forearms by the passage
