A practical treatise on mechanical dentistry . rior surface, together with the attachment and two artificial teethto fill the vacancy. The lettered portion of this appliance is made of soft vulcanized Fig. rubber; its attachment to the teeth of hard vulcanized rubber, towhich the velum is connected by a stout gold pin, firmly imbeddedat one end in the hard rubber plate. The other end has a head,marked C, which, being considerably larger than the pin, and also ARTIFICIAL TREATMENT OF PALATAL DEFECTS. 385 than the corresponding hole in the velum, is forced through—theelasticity of the velum permitting—and the two are securely con-nected. The process, B, laps over the superior surface of the maxilla(the floor of the naris), and effectually prevents all inclination todroop. The wings, A A, reach across the pharynx, at the base of thechamber of the pharynx, behind the remnant of the natural velum. The wings, D D, rest upon the opposite or anterior surface ofthe soft palate. Fig. 174.
