Gold fillings were introducedin the palatal and approxiraal surfaces of the left cuspid, to pro-tect it from the attachment. Gold crowns-were placed upon themolars, one of which, the left, was pulpless. The appearanceof the teeth after these operations is shown in Fig. 538. Fig A plate bridge (Fig. 539) was then constructed, the attachmentsfor which were collars on the molars, and half-collars or claspson the cuspids. The former rested on shoulders formed on thegold crowns, and the latter on the palatal curves of the cuspids. Fig. 539.
