A practical treatise on artificial crown- and bridge-work . en fitted in position, they are withdrawn with the caps andspring flanges, and soldered to the bar, in the manner describedat page 202. The gold caps forming the occluding surfaces of thebridge tooth can usually be fitted over the cap. When thesocket is to be attached to the crowns lengthwise, as in Fig. 401,the spring metal plate is placed only on the labial or buccal sideof the socket. In a bridge of this style of the anterior teeth only,—where theabutments form the extremities of the piece,—the ends shouldbe attached to the mesial sides of the crowns forming the sup-ports; but when it also carries teeth posterior to the abutment,and the sections of the bridge are united together, the attach-ment should be made on the distal side, the bar supporting theanterior teeth resting in a slot formed on the palatal side of theabutment (Fig. 406). A shell crown on a cuspid can be utilizedas a support for this form of attachment. DETACHABLE AND REMOVABLE BJRIDQE-WORK. 205 Fig. 406. Fio 40:.
