OPINION PONTICS REVISITED: AN UPDATE OF TERMS AND CONCEPTS
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
It is interesting to use any term formulated in a good scientific shape and easy language which can help student to get better understand the subject of question. It is better to call the term -Die- as a twin, because the die must be identical to the prepared tooth in mouth. Gingival retraction has been suggested by author to be exchanged to attain the purpose of this work. The gingival retraction has become a technique for finish line exposure. In this article we insist on ovate pontic, that has a conical form, egg-shaped, because it does not represent the clinical truth. This type of pontics sinks to a distance of 3mm within the open extraction socket. Initially, the pontic dives and fills the socket and this is a reason, we suggest to express “diving pontic” instead of ovate pontic. Pontic in itself is derived from the latin “pons” meaning (bridge). Could be better expressed as toy. Toy is a model or miniature replica of a thing or intermediate of bridge.
