  • and can’t be removed from the mouth by the patient.
  • It is primarily supported by natural teeth or root.
21
Q

Is a restoration rebuilding the prepared tooth and by means of which the pontics are anchored to the abutment teeth.

25
Q

Define Pontic

A

(Dummy) is that part of the bridge which acts as the actual substitute for the lost tooth and is suspended between the retainers replacing the lost natural tooth functionally and esthetically.

26
Q

Define Connector Joint:

35
Q

define Cantilever Bridge

A
  • is a bridge where the pontic is fixed to and derives its support from one or double retainers at one end only while the other end is supported.
36
Q

define Spring Cantilever Bridge:

A
  • Is a cantilever bridge where the pontic is at the end of slightly resilient curved arm
