COLUMBIA PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY AND CROWN-BRIDGE In this department, the student is enabled to demonstrate his mechanical and artistic ability. I ' nder the able instruction of Dr. Howe and his very competent staff, the student is given a sound basis for his further practice in the construction of dentures, crowns and bridgework. The study of denture prosthesis and bridgework, the latter, incidentally being one of the youngest recognized specialties into which the profession has been divided, is subject to constant alteration in ideas, not only regarding the indications of each, but also in the method of construction. Since the simpler application is more readily understood than the complex, that technique which will embody the funda- mentals with the fewest variables is most easily grasped. Thus, as is being taught here, once the simple method is mastered, it is but a step to the proper compre- hension of the complexities of the other techniques. The biological and physiological foundation having been obtained by the student in his other courses, this department directs these principles in the recon- struction of the mouth to normal function. Mechanics, is. therefore, not the sole consideration although the means towards an important end. First and foremost, the patients welfare ! Dr. Crawford has joined the Held of research workers and is occupied in the study of the properties and activities of metals. While so doing he has taken over the course in metallurgy which is given to the Sophomore students. DENTAL REVIEW Twenty-one
