Dr. M. L. Rhein, of New York City, was, as far as I am able tolearn, the first man to make routine use of the radiograph in pulp canalwork. The advantages in using the radiograph in this connection are as fol-lows : Much guesswork is eliminated—we know what we are the canal is tortuous, and we start through the side of the root, theradiograph shows us the mistake, keeps us from making a perforation,and, in many cases, enables us to follow the canal to the true apex. Itthe root is unusually short the radiograph keeps us from going throughthe apex, and
