The Archives of Dentistry, Vol. VII, No. 12, December 1890

"The Archives of Dentistry, Vol. VII, No. 12, December 1890" by Various is a late 1800s academic journal that dives into the world of dentistry, exploring the methods and challenges faced by dentists of the time. It's like a time capsule of dental knowledge, with a section written by Dr. Walter M. Bartlett shedding light on potential problems with crown and bridge procedures. Bartlett talks about the different kinds of tooth roots that dentists worked with, and points out that doing crown and bridge work the wrong way could cause big problems like inflammation and more decay. It's a sign that dentists back then were really thinking about what was right for their patients and how to improve their skills.
