(5) Labial veneering of the pontic with Vitadur-N significantly decreased the stability compared with that of the unveneered In-Ceram framework.
(6) From panoramic radiographs the numbers of remaining teeth, restored teeth (fillings and crowns), pontics, and endodontically treated teeth were assessed in 1968-69 and in a 12-yr follow-up study in 1980-81.
(7) The study also shows that cantilever pontics can be used to achieve and maintain the stability of fixed bridgework.
(8) To apply a particular pontic design arbitrarily is to disregard the work to date which appears to emphasize the individuality of each pontic situation.
(9) This clinical study was an attempt to find out if a patient's home care plaque control at his or her abutment tooth is more effectively enhanced by a modified ridge lap or a hygienic pontic design.
(10) A custom-made porcelain-fused-to-metal ring pontic for a removable partial denture may be color characterized and glazed by use of familiar procedures.
(11) The clinical crown of the patient's extracted tooth was used as a pontic by attaching it to the adjacent teeth with acid-etch bonded resin.
(12) The study consisted of three 4-wk periods with different hygienic measures: 1) no oral hygiene around and beneath the pontic, 2) thorough hygiene using toothbrush and toothpicks and 3) thorough hygiene using a toothbrush and dental floss every day.
(13) The purpose of the present study was to investigate plaque accumulation and inflammatory changes in the mucosa beneath fixed bridge pontics of various materials, in patients cleaning the infrapontic space daily.
(14) A new and simple technique for aesthetic tooth replacement during orthodontic treatment, with a pontic using orthodontic wire mesh, is described and appears in the author's clinical practise to be superior to the other techniques reported previously.
(15) Several factors have been presented that must be evaluated when selecting an appropriate posterior pontic design.
(16) Although the pontics had a much higher mobility than normal teeth, the fatigue limit was found to be above 600 N which is much higher than the average biting forces acting on the first and second molars.
(17) The base of the pontic for a fixed partial denture should be made buccolingually as the mirror image of the crest of the residual ridge it is to contact, and it should follow mesiodistally the contour and length of the clinical crowns of the adjacent abutment teeth.
(18) Consequently, special attention should be given to the more flexible pontic which might very possibly cause injury to the abutment teeth under the first two conditions.
(19) The bridges involved a mean of only 3.9 units (retainers and pontics).
(20) In this area the compress stress is largest, when the vertical loading is applied on the two-abutment tooth and pontic, the sigma 2 is -120.0 but the stress of alveolar bone of the molar is uniform.

Example Sentences:
