Lectures on operative dental surgery and therapeutics . Fig. 9. There is, however, no arbitrary or stereotyped rule bywhich you can be governed in the use of the hand mallet;and the above illustration is only intended to convey anidea of the light and easy manner of holding, as an absenceof all muscular rigidity of the hand is required while usingit; further than this, the execution becomes simply a ques-tion of time and practice. With this, as with all other in-struments used in operating about the mouth, the studyshould be to attain a delicacy of touch that may beperceptible to your patients; for a heavy hand in den-tistry is much to be dreaded. 39 It now becomes necessary to consider the instrumentsbest adapted for introducing gold into cavities. Thoseilkistrated in Fig. 10 fulfil the requirements of all myordinary work, and much that is more No. 1, round pointed and bayonet shaped, gives anunobstructed view while working, and is used as ananchorage instrument. No. 2, similar in all respects, butthat its point is square, permits it to come in close contactwith flat surfaces, and is used in connection with the footshaped instruments, in proximate and crown cavities. is well adapted for filling fine fissures which, occurringin the bicuspids, sometimes unite the caries existing inthe ante-medial and post-medial* regions of the crownsurface. It is an instrument also well adapted to filling thecrucial fissures on the grinding surface of lower the instruments represented in the above cut, Nos. 4 * All explanatory illustration of regional nomenclature, including theset<irms, will appear with the next lecture. 40 to 7 are well suited for filling cavities on the proximate andlabial surfaces. The angle of the foot-shaped instruments(5, 6 and 7) keeps the serrated portion in a horizontalposition, and at the same tim
