  • Title: A provisional fixed partial denture that simulates gingival tissue at the pontic-site defect.
    Author: Haj-Ali R, Walker MP.
    Journal: J Prosthodont; 2002 Mar; 11(1):46-8. PubMed ID: 11935510.
    Abstract:
    A technique is presented for the fabrication of an esthetic, provisional fixed partial denture that compensates for a pontic-site ridge defect. This provisional restoration enables both the dentist and the patient to evaluate whether this prosthetic approach will adequately camouflage the pontic-site defect or whether surgical correction of the pontic site should also be considered.
