Excerpt from The New-York Dental Recorder, Vol. 3: Devoted to the Theory and Practice of Surgical, Medical, and Mechanical Dentistry Dr. C. C. Allen, Dear Sir, - In compliance with the request of the N. Y. S. Society of Dentists, it was my intention to have given you for the present number of your Journal, an illustration of the mariner in which the regulation of the teeth of the lad who was present at the late meeting on the - , was affected; but owing to an error of the engraver, I am compelled to defer it until some future number. If you should consider the following notices serviceable to the profession, you may give them a place in the Recorder. This cut is intended to represent an instrument invented by J. D. Chevalier, manufacturer of Dental Instruments, for filing the teeth. It is the best adapted to that purpose of any which have come under my observation. The thumb-screw (a) opens and closes the anterior part of the frame, so that the jaws may be made to accommodate the necessary length of file, which is firmly secured at any desired angle in the grooves, (b. b.) This instrument is used in filing the front teeth, with great advantage to the operator; as the frame and handle place the file more completely under his control, and enable him to perform the operation in a better manner, with a saving of time to himself and of pain to his patient. When separating the molar teeth, an offset of usual form admits the cheek, the file and handle being on a line.
