Radiographic examina-tion revealed Hento-alveolar abscesses and much loss of osseous tissue, CANAL SURGERY AND ORAL INFECTION 457 due to pyorrhea. The affected teeth were extracted. The patients con-dition improved promptly and continued to improve for several upper anterior bridge was made, using the two cuspids for Thursday hefore the Monday when the patient had arranged to go towork again, he suffered a relapse and developed pain in the region ofone of iln. abutment cuspids. His physician again sent him to the radio-dontist. A radiograph was made of the tooth causing pain. It showedthe canal tilling reaching only about two-thirds the distance to the apex. Fig. 4S9. Radiographs of hands of Fig. 488. of the root, and tissue changes indicative of abscess formation in theperiapical region. The bridge was removed, also the imperfect canalrilling.

Again the mansgeneral physical condition began to improve, and continued to improvewhile the canal work in his mouth was done over again, this time checkingthe work with radiographs.
