Fig. 595 represents the most interesting case of all. This is a lower sec-ond molar, which had been extracted and replanted by a colleague for thecure of pyorrhoea alveolaris. The tooth was supported in position by a goldsplint which encircled this tooth, the first molar, and the second operation was made about two years previously. The tooth had beentroublesome for more than a year, but, as there was no discharge of pus,it was thought best to allow it to remain. It finally caused irritation ofthe gum, and was therefore extracted. In this case the root and a largepart of the dentin of the crown was entirely resorbed.
