Throughout, care mustbe observed not to chip the edge. A cavity is cut in the tooth so as to beshallow at the cervical angle with a flatbase and pointing to the incisal edge(Fig. 1), where it becomes deepest, form-ing the only undercut, so that the matrixis drawn by turning out from the cervi- 144 THE DEXTAL COSMOS. cal end or angle. In this cavity isadapted 2/1000 platinum. Should thepuncture be a considerable one. a secondsmaller matrix may be shaped over thepuncture and adapted with wet spunk,which is left in place until matrix is filled flush with any filling Fig. gold packed lightly, and 22-k. solderflowed through. This inlay, returned tothe cavity, is ground flush with the edgeof the latter, taking care not to injure theenamel.
