Figure 419 shows what might easily be mistaken for a post passingthrough the side of the root. Notice, however, there is no bone destruc-tion about the post which seems to penetrate the osseous tissue. Whatseems to be a post penetrating the osseous tissue is a bar for a Gilmoreattachment, for a partial plate, resting on the gum Fig. 41OA. Radioeraphs of an extracted crowned tooth, made by directing the X-raysthrough the tooth from different angles. (By R. Ottolengui.) Figure 419A shows three radiographs of a:i extracted, crownedupper cuspid, with the post of the crown passing through a perforationon the labial. The radiographs were made at different angles. Xumberone seems to show the post following the canal; number two seems toshow the post passing through the distal side of the root, while numberthree shows the post passing through the labial side of the root. Number one was made by directing the X-rays straight through thetooth from labial to lingual (X-rays Xo. 2, Fig. 419B). Xumber threewas made straight through from mesial to distal and number two wasmade with the rays passing through the tooth in a disto-lingual direction(Fig. 419B, X-rays No. 3). 37^ APPENDIX Figure 419C is a case from practice.
