Faulty Articulation.—When, in a finished denture, thearticulation is found to be slightly faulty, the false touchingpoints can readily be recognized and removed with thecorundum wheel. When, however, the articulation is foundto be so far out of the way as not to ])ermit of satisfactorycorrection, the entire denture should be reconstructed. This Fig. occasionally occurs to the inexperienced, and should proveto them a wholesome lesson. It is always better, as hasbeen previously suggested, to try the teeth in the mouthwhile they are yet on the wax plate, when any imperfectioncan be easily remedied. Shaping the Cutting Edges.—In articulating the teeth,particularly those in the anterior part of the mouth, it isfrequently advisable to so cut and shape the edges thatthey could hardly be recognized as the same teeth. Take, for instance, a person of the sanguine tempera-ment. Nature gives such an individual teeth that are wellproportioned, abounding in curves arranged in a full, roundarch, with an articulation that is moderatelv firm and corre- AND ARKANGEMENT OF TEETH. 41 spomlint;- i^eneralK- to l_[ic contour of tlic face.
