    This, I find, gives the maximum benefit to patient, time to the dentist (an important point when it is understood that profound calcifi¬ cation is present in patients definitely improving as a result of their stay with treatment in Pap- worth), and satisfaction to the patient. Nitrous oxide and oxygen together with Evipan have been used, but, rightly or wrongly, I feel that no general anaesthetic meets with the same approval with my medical colleagues as does the local anaesthetic, and of course I am more than satisfied with the results obtained. Fillings number 271, and these too, almost without exception, have been inserted in perm¬ anent teeth, regional anaesthesia having been employed likewise. 79 dentures have been given, varying in character according to the number of missing teeth from full dentures to partial dentures (upper and lower) and 34 dentures have been repaired. 103 visits to ward patients have been made and other operations (scaling, gum treatments, temporary dressings, silver nitrate applications and so on) number 112. On occasions, radiograms have been necessary in order to assist diagnosis and I am grateful to Dr. Stott for either carrying out this work himself or inviting the co-operation of others for the same purpose.
