Dr. Moorehead removed the apex of the root through theexternal alveolar plate, smoothed the end of the broken root, and the caserecovered promptly. It is almost superfluous to do so, yet I want to callyour attention to the fact that this case, like very many others I have re-ported, could not have been diagnosed and treated properly without usingthe Fig. 233 Fig. 233 Fig. 234 Fig. 232.

The radiograph shows they are not. Fig. 234. Left central fractured near the apex. The case had been treated for alveolar ab-scess without success for several weeks. The removal of the piece of fractured root-endthrough the external alveolar plate effected a cure. (Radiographed by Lewis, of Chicago.) 34.
