A radiograph (Fig. 292) was finally made,and showed an impacted upper third molar. This tooth was removed,and since then, now over four years ago, she has not had a single attackof neuralgia. Attention is called to the fact that up to the time of making the radio-graph this was a typical case of idiopathic facial Fig. 291. The same case as Fig. 290. A radiograph of the upper part of the shadow. Itshows the crown of a supernumerary bicuspid with three denticles above it. The white spotat the apex of the second bicuspid is caused by an air bell attaching itself to the film in thatregion at the time it was in the developing solution. (Radiograph by A. M.
