Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ohio State Journal of Dental Science, 1885, Vol. 5 While so many in the profession are deploring the decline of true prosthesis at the present time, very few. It would seem, truly understand the causes which led to it, or the means by which it mav again be restored to its former position in the estimation of the more intelligent men in the profession. And yet these causes are easily found. They exist in every dental workshop where vulcan ite and section teeth constitute any considerable portion of the business. And it was the invention and introduction of the latter which marks the decline of true dental prosthesis. With the invention of section teeth, the necessity for taste, skill and judgment on the part of the dentist, no longer existed. Or if it did, it could not longer be exercised. Why study expression, and nature's methods, when by no possibility, could those methods be followed? Whoever has observed the endless modifications which exist in the arrangement of the natural teeth, also the wonderful vari ety of expression, resulting from these modifications, has not failed to perceive that, to reproduce in artificial teeth, every shade and variety, which we behold in nature, must, of necessity, require long and careful study of the methods of arrangement.
