Another milestone, yard limit No. 2, lies in checking up uponthe treatment of apical abscesses with the negative ray. This is ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS. 667 perhaps the most frequent source of disappointment to the due to the little overlooked bet, that bone takes a long time APICAL ABSCESSES A film is made, treatment is instituted, and in a couple ofmonths a second film shows almost the identical condition. Thedentist is discouraged. He forgets that when bone fills in, it does soslowly, and that the young bone is yet transparent to the X-light. I do not know the time for complete regeneration, but I wouldput it roughly at a minimum of two years. I have seen bone de-fects start filling in in eight weeks, but after three months therewas but little change to be detected. I would recommend that wehere insert a peg and call it real limitation No. 1. For no matterhow perfectly planned the technic, baby bone is transparent in com-parison to the denser old alveolar substance. Oh, yes, I can showcallus on long bones, but wre are conversing about teeth.
