It is an important consideration that accuracy in amount offilling material should be regarded, as thus the minimum ofsurplus will remain for removal prior to finishing. During the removal of surplus material, and the final smooth-ing of the filling, it should always be remembered that the workmust be towards the edges of the cavity^ as thus the filling ismaintained flush and the gutta-percha kept close to the walls. While finishing, it will be found that moisture is not onlynot detrimental^ but in some cases rather advantageous, as it per-mits a smoother cutting of the gutta-percha.
