Cuspids are sometimesused to form the fronts for bicuspids. The teeth are groundand fitted to the model and articulation, so that the labial. 156 ARTIFICIAL CROWN- AND BRIDGE-WORK. upper edge of the teeth shall press lightly on the gum. Thosewhich are intended to form the fronts of the caps on the cuspidroots should be adjusted in the ordinary manner for singlecrowns. To determine the proper positions of the teeth forproducing the best appearance, they can be adjusted in the mouthon wax, without the gold crowns or caps of the correct position of the teeth on the model having beenobtained, investing material, composed of one part plaster to-two of calcined marble-dust, is placed on the outside of themodel on the labial aspect of the teeth, merely sufficient in Fig. 300.
