As a dentist, I find this type of work amazing. This is a fixed prosthetic device similar in theory to what is used now. The two teeth on the extreme ends are called abutment teeth. I would like to see the specimen in person since the tooth to the left in the photograph looks as though it has a post in it. The tooth to the right is obviously fractured slightly below the cementoenamel junction. Thanks for linking to this!
