28 CASES IN MIDBLESEX HOSPITAL. 



The patient seemed to be suffering very much, but 

 the fractured bone was not sufficiently detached to 

 render its removal expedient ; neither was it con- 

 sidered advisable to extract the loosened teeth. 



The patient returned at intervals, and in about 

 two months from the time of the injuries the dead 

 bone had become sufficiently detached from the 

 living to be readily removed. The loose teeth had 

 in the mean time become firm and useful. 



Case 2. — In this instance a man came to the 

 hospital in consequence of injuries he had received 

 six months previously, in the removal of the second 

 upper right bicuspid with the key instrument. 



The alveolar process was very much broken, 

 and the first bicuspid loosened to such an extent 

 that its removal became necessary. The fractured 

 alveolar process was removed at the same time. 



In the third case a large piece of alveolar 

 process was removed from where, four months 

 previously, a second lower temporary molar had 

 been extracted. The key instrument had been 

 used in this as in a preceding instance. 



Supernumerary Teeth, 



Six supernumerary teeth have been extracted 

 during the past year. 



A man, aged twenty-five, had two removed, 

 which were situated behind the upper central 

 incisores. 



The impression of this case is now on the table.
