Translated based on Guerini, 1921: When a permanent tooth appears before the fall of the milk tooth, it is necessary to dissect the gum all around the latter and extract it; the other tooth must then be pushed with the finger, day by day, toward the place that was occupied by the one extracted; and this is to be  done until it has firmly reached its right position”.

The Latin text on page 229 states: p 229.  Ex Austero quomodo Dulce fiat. Antea dictum est austerum vitrioli oleum, duplici constare mixtura, videlicet multo alumine et pauce sulphure. Quare cu ex austero oleo dulce extrahitur nihil aliud sit, quam quod sulphur ab alumine segregatur. Est itaqæ dulce vitrioli oleum nihil aliud, quom oleum sulphuris aut ipsum sulphur in liquidam substantiam redactum. Which liberally translates: How tasteless is turned into sweet. At the start the oil of vitriol consists of a mixture of two, alum and a little sulfur. The sweet (component) is extracted from the tasteless oil; therefore, the outcome is non-other than the sulfur separated from the alum.

One of the most specious is the excision and extraction of the dental ganglion ; for this operation a small drill is used, which is placed in the cavity of the fang, and, giving the drill a few rotary motions, it is withdrawn with the dental pulp attached.Delmond has described, with care and much detail, this operation. If we have not at hand the proper instrument for this operation, a substitute might be made of iron or platina wire, resembling a single /acies, and which can be readily introduced into the canal of the tooth. By giving the wire a shape resembling a cork-screw, we can with it readily withdraw the dental pulp.“

It is probably the first description of using this mixture in case of severe decay/dental pain.

The actual Latin and translated quote: “ Quod si dolor eximi eum cogit, et piperis semen cortice liberatum, et eodem modo baca hederae coniecta in [id] foramen dentem findit, isque per testas excidet. Et plani piscis, quam pastinacam nostri, tygona Gaeci vovant, aculeus torretur, deinde conteritur resinaque excipitur, quae denti circumdata hunc solvit.” Translated: But if pain compels its removal, a peppercorn without the tegument or an ivy berry without the tegument is inserted into the cavity of the tooth, which it splits, and the tooth falls out in bits. Also, the tail spine of the flat fish, which we call pastinaca, and the Greeks call trygon (sting ray), is roasted, pounded, and taken up in resin, and this, when applied around the tooth, loosens it.  (the sting ray contains quick lime or calcium oxide in the tail bone, which has a similar structure to the tooth with a pulp and dentin-like substance).

Another (recipe) for the same: if there is a toothache, perforate the tooth and fill the opening with the following mixture: Theriac a half ounce, chrysanthemum, fennel flower, each, 2 gr., nitric acid ½ a teaspoon, mix and place it into the opening of the tooth. Based on the composition, the nitric acid would have killed the pulp and removed the pain. This description is the first to indicate a form of root canal treatment.
