A number of efficient methods have beendevised, but the one selected usually depends upon circumstances orupon ingenuity. The fossae of the skull as well as the calvarium may befilled with plaster of Paris, and while the plaster is still soft a short,stout stick of wood is pushed through into the foramen magnum, theupper end extending to the skullcap, which is then adjusted. When theplaster hardens, the calvarium is well fastened in good position. If inremoving the skullcap the precaution is taken to crack at least a partof the inner table with the chisel and hammer, projecting pieces of boneare usually left, which interlock and hold the calvaria snugly in positionwhen it is If the edges of the temporalis have not been toobadly lacerated, sutures may be passed through the muscle and fascia 1Mallory and Wright, Pathological Fig. 173.—Method of examining nasal cavities, antrum of Highmore, etc. By meansof a knife the uppermost mucous membrane between the lip and the superior maxilla isincised, the upper lip being elevated with the left hand during the incision. Verticalsawing is now done in the median line, and the tooth extracted at the point where thelateral sawing is to take place. The bone-forceps readily bring the desired portion ofbone away, or it can be loosened by means of a chisel.
