A thin platinum plate may be then fitted on the root end, aplate tooth backed, adjusted, and hard-waxed on the plate and to thefeather-wire, the end of which should be left free as in Fig. 5, sothat it may be grasped by pliers to withdraw the crown and the platewithout disturbance, for investment and soldering in the usual 6 shows the completed crown, after mounting with sandarac var-nish, hot resin, copal varnish, or very thin cement.

It is entirely practicable to fit the plain wire post to the simpleround socket, to fit the root-plate, to back and adjust the crown, andto remove and solder all together as usual ; then reinvest the crownin plaster and marble-dust, leaving the post exposed.
