Excerpt from The Dental Review, Vol. 13: Devoted to the Advancement of Dental Science; January 15, 1899 I need not say I examined the tooth minutely after such a statement, and I found the palatine portion of the crown broken. The gum was torn and bruised. The broken tooth still appearing to offer sufficient support for the careful use of the forceps, I cautiously tried to feel my way in securely grasping the roots with the forceps, but the slipping or rotation was so marked I desisted and examined the tooth again. Finding that there was an unusual change of form, I determined to use the elevator. Even with this powerful instrument the resistance was considerable. Much to my relief and greatly to the delight of my patient, the broken tooth was dislodged without much further difficulty.
