How about it?" "A pyorrhea pocket," said Dr. Young, "is a pocket or opening formed between the tooth root and the gum. Normally, the gum tissue hugs the neck of the tooth very tightly. If it becomes Irritated it may become infected and lose its close contact with the tooth and thus leave a pocket between the tooth and the gum tissue. "For instance, if tartar is allow ed to accumulate about the necks of the teeth, it Irritates the gums, which may then become infected. As the infect: proceeds more deeply under the K.tm margins, it destroys the tissues. Once established, the infective process becomes more or less protected and the pocket be comes deeper. Finally, the disease reaches the deeper membrane, known as the peridental membrane." "What is the peridental mem brane?" interrupted Jack. "The peridental membrane," ex plained the dentist patiently, "is a layer of tissue which lies between the root of the tooth and the bone. Contrary to popular opinion, teeth are not rigidly fixed in the jaws. They are attached to their bony sockets by means of the peridental membrane. This membrane is made up of thousands of minute fibers. One end of these fibers is attached to the tooth root and the other end is attached to the bony socket. These fibers are so arranged as to enable each tooth to move slightly in its socket during use. acting as a cush ion to absorb the shocks of masti cation. "When this membrane becomes in jured or irritated through any cause, it loses its resistance and becomes detached from the tooth. This, of course, makes the pocket larger and deeper. Hard, nodular, flintlike, brownish particles of tartar may form on the tooth root. These de posits, called serumal calculus, add to the irritation and increase the tendency to destruction until at last the bone becomes exposed to infec tion. The broken-down tissue cells, tissue fluids, and bacteria, fill the pocket, forming pus which flows or can be expressed , from beneath the gum margin. The bony socket about the tooth disintegrates, the tooth be coming loose, and eventually it is lost provided it doe? not receive the proper care." "Can pyorrhea be cured?" asked Jack. "It can be cured if treatment is started early enough," replied the dentist. "Pyorrhea conditions result ing from local causes, such as tar tar, traumatic occlusion and ill-fitting bridgework, if taken in time can be cured. Some pyorrhea condi tions may be associated with sys temic diseases and may be more com plicated. This type of pyorrhea is much harder to cure. Naturally, in this type of pyorrhea the systemic disease itself should be treated along with the mouth condition." (To be Concluded Next Week) TRY TO GAIN QUINS CONTROL CA LANDER, Ont., April 22 (UP Dr. Allen Roy Dafoe said today that he believed "outside forces" are try ing to obtain control of the Dionne quintuplets and their $600,000. The quints' physician said he felt that these efforts lay at the bottom of the difficulties between CJiva Dionne, father of the girls and their board of gardians. Dafoe, who is a member of the board, d;d not specify who he meant by "outside forces". Dafoe, through an Ottawa attorney has asked the attorney general to make a judicial investigation of the quints' affairs and the handling of their money. "If Dionne was-anxious about the babies affairs he should have attend ed the board of gardians meeting1 in stead of petitioning the Ontario at torney general for a judicial investi gation" Dafoe said. "When quints were poor we had no trouble, but now that they have $600,000 in Ontario government bonds it is a different story."
