To resume: the fang-cavities being cleared out, --no easy matter in the case of lower molars, --they should be filled up, and, though gold may be employed in certain easy cases, it is better to use the oxychloride of zinc, mixed rather fluid, and incorporated with finely-chopped cotton wool; this must be worked into the fangs by a sort of pumping action, by which means the air is pressed out and the stopping pressed in; the oxychloride being powerfully antiseptic, little hurt is likely to accrue if any small particles of soft tissue b3 left in the fang cavities. If gold be used, it is well to wash out the fang-cavities with carbolic acid or creosote before attempting to insert it.

In other cases we may find that the whole of the dental pulp has sloughed away, leaving the surrounding dentine softened, but not putrid, both of which classes of caises we should treat precisely as if we had removed the pulp. It may, however, happen that, whilst the pulp has sloughed away, the canal-cavitie3 are filled with puriform fluids, the dentine itself being moist and very offensive; and it is rare to find, in such cases, freedom from periodontal irritation, caused no doubt by the presence of septic substance.
