Syphilis : a treatise on etiology, pathology, diagnosis, prognosis, prophylaxis, and treatment . * It is quite true that themilk teeth in syphilitic children are often very peculiar. * * ^Sometimes the tooth sacs suppurate, and the crowns of the teeth,almost always the upper central incisors, are exfoliated beforethev are cut. The occasional occurrence of this is one of the 422 SYPHILIS strongest facts which I can adduce in support of the assertionthat the gums and tooth sacs are liable to congestion and inflam-mation during the secondary stage of syphilis in infants. I havenever witnessed this suppurative exfoliation of the upper incisorsexcepting in those who were syphilitic. The lower incisors (sec-ond set) usually present serrations only, that is, two small notchesand three elevations. I have, however, seen several examples ofa single central notch, resulting apparently from the suppressionof the middle denticle, as in the upper set. A far more commonevent than exfoliation is caries, and it is often very peculiar inform. The neck of the tooth is attacked, and is rapidly eaten. ^^Hit^
