Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ohio State Journal of Dental Science, 1884, Vol. 4 By way of a more comprehensive introductory to the new method, their indulgence is asked for a few retrospective remarks in reference to the 0e Method, and the present status Of the ques tion Cohesive versus Noncohesive Gold. Without doubt, the introduction of cohesive gold and the mallet opened an extended field Of usefulness to the dental opera tor. Thousands Of teeth which, previous to this period could not possibly have been filled and saved with gold, could now not only be filled, but the original shape of the tooth could also be com pletely restored; indeed, whole crowns were Often built up by means Of cohesive gold. And as a natural consequence, within one decade after its introduction the Operative branch of dentistry underwent a complete change. The Old method Of filling teeth with noncohesive gold was gradually laid aside, and every opera tor who desired to keep pace with the times, turned his attention to the acquirement of that peculiar manipulative ability requisite in the use of cohesive gold.
