The tightening of loose teeth: some technical innovations . th sticking-wax. By means of this method,the most complicated saddle-bridge can be made inhalf the time that would be required for swaging aplatinum saddle. Within ten minutes the parts arecovered with an absolutely dense and beautiful coatingof platinum. If the processus alveolaris be badly absorbed, it maybe sometimes better practice to substitute an extensionbridge of the saddle-bridge kind, A very strong wire splint is laid horizontally fromone abutment to the other, and very heavily sol-dered. The tube teeth are placed on the splint with regardto the articulation, and the pins marked through thetubes of the teeth. Bowel crowns are pressed intothe wax to mark the pins. The lower margins of theteeth extend to the splint, in order that the tonguebe not irritated (see Fig. 26). Extension bridges with very divergent abutmentsshould be adjusted with caps which will not project TUBE TEETH BRIDGE-WORK 37 beyond the most prominent part of the tooth, theundercuts thus remainincr Fig. 26. A heavy wire sj^hnt is to be fixed across on themost prominent margin of the caps and soldered in averv strong manner.
