Description
Nicolas Dubois de Chémant began to issue this text—part scientific tract, part advertisement—in France in 1788, advocating dentures which were more durable and produced no offensive odors. His work passed through five subsequent English editions; this is the fourth.
The plate illustrates different types of dentures, both single teeth and rows, and their means of attachment in the mouth.
