Excerpt from Dental Anatomy A realization of the fact that the study of dental anatomy is one of the most important subjects in the college curriculum, and, as a rule, one that is usually neglected by the student even if not by the teacher, has prompted the author to present the subject in the most practical phase possible. Besides giving a description of the teeth as minutely as possible, the author has gone to considerable length in describing the anatomy of the pulp canal, and also the anatomy of the tooth with reference to practical consideration, or, in other words, the practical application of the anatomical points in dental operations. The anatomical shape of the crown and the occlusal surface of the tooth are certainly of extreme importance in the construction of restorations, gold fillings, and inlays, and in order that they may be more easily and accurately reproduced the author has carefully outlined the occlusal surface of the tooth as regards the ridges and grooves. Much space has been devoted to the inclined planes in the description of each tooth, which is bound to prove of much benefit to the student of dentistry in later years in the study of other subjects, especially crown and bridge work, prosthetic dentistry and orthodontia. Realizing the importance of root canal fillings, much space has been devoted to this subject in order that the shape of the pulp canal in various conditions be presented so as to give the student some idea of what he may expect to encounter in certain teeth.
