The odontoma was ofcomposite structure, the central part being made up of what may havebeen the third molar, about which were arranged concentric layers ofcementum, and probablv some compact bony structures. For the report of this case I am indebted to Dr. Don M. Graham, ofDetroit. Mich. 2iq DENTAL RADIOGRAPHY 45. to Observe Anomalous Conditions Such as the fusion of the Roots oftwo teeth for example. Case: Child about twelve. The crowns of two ofTifl. 265. the lower incisors seemed fused together. To ac- complish regulation of the teeth it became expedientin the opinion of the operator handling the case to extract one of the. Fig. 265.

The question arose: Are the roots of the teethfused also? A radiograph (Fig. 265) shows they are not. It showsfurther that the crowns are not fused either, though, let me admit, Ishared in the mistake of the man who referred the case thinking theywere; and failed, as he had, in an attempt to pass a ligature betweenthem. It was not until I had the radiograph before me, showing me thatI was not attempting the impossible, that I succeeded in getting a silkligature between the teeth. One of the teeth was slightly malformed;they were almost mortised together in consequence, and in contact fromthe incisal edge to beneath the gum margin. Second and third molars are sometimes fused together. I recall hav-ing extracted the upper second and third molars in an effort to remo
