TEETH MADE OF PAPER.


Paper teeth are the latest thing in
dentistry. For years some substance
has been sought for which coI'i re.
place the composition commonly en-
ployed for making teeth and fortune
awaited the man who was nscky
enough to hit upon the right material
Although paper has some disadvan-
tages. they are all small compared 10
it's many qualifications and paper teeth
are likely To b. used exclusively, at
least until more perfect material Is
found.
I'D to this time, says the New York
Press, china has been used almost en-
tlrely, but il presents so many disad-
vantages that dentists always nave
been on the lookout for some other sub
stance which could replace ii. Not on
ly does china not resist the action of
saliva and turns black, but china af-
fects the nerves of the jaws. People
who wear false teeth often complain of
sub-orbitai neuralgia, and this IL put
down by many dentists as being caused
by the heat or cold acting on the china
or porcelain. Porcelain or mineral COM
position also is liable to chip or break.
and for these reasons has never been
satisfactory.
The paper teeth are made OF papier-
mache. which is submitted t. a tre-
mendous pressure until they are as
hard as required. Their peculiar COM
position renders them cheap, and the
price of a set of teeth will go down
considerably. owing 10 the new inven-
ton. The color of the papier-mache
can also be made TO vary, which is an
Important point, as no two sets Of teeth
are Identical i'm color. some teeth hav-
ing a strong yellowish cast. while 9TH
ers are bluelsh white. In order, there
fore. TO obtain the right tint coloring
matter has only to be introduced into
the mixture before the tooth is cast
i'm order TO match the other teeth ex-
actly. IL is in this particular that
china teeth often fail TO appear natur-
al. their color differing from the other
teeth i'm the mouth. and showing that
the tooth is artificial.
Another novelty with regard TO teeth
consists I'm their filling. Dentists no
longer use as much gold or platinum as
they did formerly-in fact metal filings
are out of date. Bone or ivory is the
substance employed. and both possess
the advantage OF appearing more nat
ural OF course, those who already
have gold or platinum filings will not
GO to the expense and trouble OF having
them removed but they have been ta-
booed by the smart set. and I'm future
nothing so conspicuous will he used
Neither bone nor ivory satisfies the
dentists. however, and they are hunt
ing around for some composition which
will be both durable and elastic. and
vet will match the color OF the teeth.
