1
Q
What are the available materials for provisional #3-5 bridge?
A
- Acrylic Resins:
- PMMA
- Bis-Acryl Composites
- Chemical Activated
- Visible Light Activated
- Dual Activated
2
Q
What are the advantages and disadvantages of PMMA Acrylic Resins?
A
- Advantages:
- can be relined and repaired
- Disadvantages:
- exothermic reaction
- High degree of shrinkage (8%)
3
Q
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Bis-Acryl Composites?
A
- Advantages:
- less shrinkage
- minimal heat generated during setting
- use auto mix for delivery
- Disadvantages:
- More brittle than acrylics
- difficult to reline
4
Q
Connector Design Requirements: Height vs width

A
6
Q
What are the different Pontic design for FDP?
A
- Hygienic
- Conical
- Saddle/Ridge-Lap
- Modified Ridge-Lap
- Ovate
7
Q
Pontic Design: Biologic Factors
A
- Cleansable tissue surface
- Access to Abutment teeth
- No pressure on ridge
8
Q
Pontic Design: Mechanical Factors
A
- Rigid
- (resist deformation)
- Strong Connectors
- (prevent fracture)
- Metal-ceramic framework
- (resist porcelain fracture)
9
Q
Pontic Design: Esthetic factors
A
- Shaped like tooth it replaces
- Appears to “grow” out of edentulous ridge
- Sufficient space for porcelain
10
Q
Hygienic Pontic:
A
- aka Sanitary Pontic
- no contact with ridge
- 2-3mm space b/w ridge & Pontic
- adequate space for hygiene w/o food trapping
- used in non-aesthetic areas
- posterior mandible
- convex in all directions
- m/d follow ridge contour
11
Q
Conical Pontic
A
- Passive contact w/ridge crest
- rounded and cleansable
- Triangular embrasures may trap debris
- suited for thin mandibular ridges
- non-esthetic regions
12
Q
Ridge Lap Pontic
A
- DO NOT USE
- Forms a large concave contact w/ridge
- non-cleansable
- tissue inflammatio
13
Q
Modified Ridge Lap Pontic
A
- Passive contact Facial to ridge crest
- Convex tissue surface
- used in esthetic zone
14
Q
Ovate Pontic
A
-
Highly Esthetic
- Blunt rounded Pontic tip set into concavity in the ridge
- Requires pre-prosthetic surgery
- Maintains pressure on gingiva to mold tissue and interdental papillae
- Cleansable by motivated patients
- Pontic appears to be “growing” from ridge
- eliminates the potential for unsupported porcelain in cervical portion of anterior Pontic
- compared to modified ridge-lap
