Study Notes
Pontic Design and Residual Ridge Contour
- The ideal residual ridge contour is a smooth and regular surface of attached gingiva, with sufficient height and width, and facially free of frenal attachment.
- Loss of residual ridge contour leads to unesthetic open gingival embrasures («Black Triangle»), food impaction, and percolation of saliva during speech.
Pontic Selection and Design
- The primary factor for pontic selection is based on the edentulous ridge.
- The optimal pontic design is referred to as the ovate pontic design.
- The pontic design should appear to grow out of the residual ridge.
- The primary function of a pontic in a fixed partial denture is to prevent tilting or drifting of adjacent teeth into the edentulous space.
- The pontic design should have a cleansable tissue surface.
Tylmann's Classification and Pontic Shapes
- According to Tylmann's classification, the shape options for contacting the alveolar ridge are sanitary-hygienic, modified ridge lap, and ovate pontic designs.
- The sanitary-hygienic pontic design has a concave gingival surface, making it difficult for the patient to clean and maintain.
- The modified ridge lap pontic design is considered the most common pontic form used in visible areas during function.
Materials and Framework
- The primary material used in a metal-resin pontic is metal.
- The metal-ceramic framework in pontic design is to resist fracture.
Oral Hygiene and Maintenance
- The ovate pontic design requires meticulous oral hygiene to prevent tissue inflammation.
- The contact between residual ridge and pontic should allow for easy cleaning and maintenance.
- The primary advantage of the conical pontic design is that it is easy to clean and maintain.
Young's Modulus and Rigidity
- Young's modulus should be considered in the aspect of pontic design related to rigidity.
- The term 'rigidity' in pontic design refers to the ability of the pontic to resist deformation.
Edentulous Ridge and Pontic Function
- The edentulous ridge plays a role in pontic design by providing support and stability.
- The pontic prevents tilting or drifting of adjacent teeth into the edentulous space by filling the gap and providing support.
- The primary function of a pontic in a fixed partial denture is to prevent tilting or drifting of adjacent teeth into the edentulous space.
Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms
- According to the Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, a pontic is an artificial tooth on a fixed partial denture that replaces the missing natural tooth, restores its function and usually fills the space previously occupied by the natural tooth.
- One function of fixed prosthodontic treatment is to prevent tilting or drifting of the adjacent teeth into the edentulous space.
