In all, the inner corner of the heel is higher than the outer corner—the attritional face thus lies obliquely to the frontal plane. On the left side replacing crowns lie in pockets of the alveolar wall of Nos. 2, 3, 4, and there is an empty pocket behind No. 1. On the right side a strong replacing talon emerges obliquely from a pocket behind No. 2; the pocket behind No. 4 contains a tip, and empty pockets lie behind Nos. 1 and B.
