Excerpt from A d104-Book of Dental Histology and Embryology: Including Laboratory Directions In the preparation of cavities, the arrangement of the enamel wall is determined by the knowledge of the direction of the enamel prisms in that locality, and to a certain extent the position of cavity margins must be governed by the knowledge of the structure of the enamel. In the execution of the work a minute knowledge of the direction of enamel rods becomes the most important element in rapidity and success of operation. The longer the author studies and teaches the structure of the enamel in its relation to the structure and preparation of enamel walls, the more he finds himself using this knowledge at the chair in daily Operations. He believes that nothing will do more to increase facility, rapidity, and success of Operation than a close study of the enamel structure.
