RICCI, François Dominique.

Mémoire sur les Dents raciformes ou racisubériques; Nouvelle Méthode d'implanter les Dents a Pivot, de les faire tenir solidement dans les plus mauvaises racines, et de faire cesser la carie du canal dentaire.

16 pp. 8vo, orig. blue wrappers (first two leaves with an unimportant marginal stain), stitched as issued, uncut. Paris: L.G. Michaud & l'Auteur, 1816. First edition and quite scarce. Ricci, son of the prominent Italian dentist Giovanni Battista, established himself in Paris and maintained a very successful practice, specializing in the making and securing of artificial teeth. He developed a device -- a "tenon des antennes" made of swelling cork -- to fasten the post of the prostheses to the enlarged root canal. It is described in the present work. Fine copy. Crowley, Dental Bibliography, 889. Hoffmann-Axthelm, History of Dentistry, pp. 256 & 271-72. Poletti, De Re Dentaria apud Veteres, p. 164.
