Beginning at a and following the edgeof the filling upward, we find a considerable defect to exist at b—the point nearest the angle formed by the buccal and distal surfacesof the tooth. From b to the side toward the grinding surface thedefectiveness grows less {c)\ but immediately increases, when thatside is reached, to proportions which it maintains until the oppositeside corresponding to c is attained (at d), where it again decreases,widening again, however, at ^, the point corresponding to b.
