Equal to Fire Clay.

You can’t destroy a false set of teeth in the retort pf a crematory. This I deem one victory of art over nature. Our own teeth we can reduce to ashes with the rest of the body, but false teeth and gold plate hold their own. Silver plates or any other substance Used by dentists will disappear, but 4,QOO degrees of heat have been, turned on artificial teeth without destroying them, and the gold rivets in the teeth after that heat has been applied will also be found intact .—Crematory expert.
