A SYSTEM QF RETAINING SPRINGS FOR PARTIALPLATES AXD REMOVABLE BRIDGES.By W. E. Griswold, D.D.S., Denver, Col.(Second Article.)In my former article I described my system in so far as it wasapplicable to roots where the crown was entirely removed. In this I will describe its application to teeth simply grounddown and gold crowns placed over them. For this work I use a different form, made of the same metal,a wedged-shaped U spring, with a depression in its side, made inthree sizes—a small size for bicuspids, the second size for molars,and also used as a box for the small size, and the third size as a boxfor the second. These are all made in steel dies, and one exactly fits over theother, and when so placed, on account of the depression in thesides, locks the finished denture in place.
