Show Romans Made Bridgework of Cold and Capped Teeth There are specimens In the museums In Italy which show that the Homans capped teeth and did bridge work of various kinds In gold, and probably also used gold wire In various ways for the tlxatlon of loose teeth. The Romans transplanted teeth and a slave maiden was sometimes required re-quired to give up a tooth to be lm-plnnted lm-plnnted In her mistress' mouth, after she had lost one for any reason. In one of the laws of the Twelve Tablets at Rome, the date of which Is not later than 450 11, C, It was forbidden to bury gold with a corpse, except such gold as was fastened to the teeth.
