Fig. 483, already described, represents the appearance pre-sented when the bridge is cemented in position. To Attach thi Bridge.—To attach the bridge the best attaina-ble oxyphosphate cement should be used. It is desirable that itshould set slowly. Thoroughly dry the teeth and denture; mix Fro. the cement to as thick a consistence as is compatible with per-fect plasticity. A thick, viscid, semi-fluid mass is what isrequired. With suitable instruments, swiftly but carefully placethe cement around the head and shank of each platinum pin,and also in the openings in the natural teeth. This care isnecessary in order to exclude all air-bubbles and thoroughlyengage the pin-heads in the cement. They furnish ample
