title: [Clinical study on the contact between the partial denture and the alveolar process].
abstract: 53 clinically prepared bridges were examined with regard to the resting position of the bridge body on the alveolar ridge, before they were finally cemented. It was to be tested whether the ideal requirements of punctate or linear pressure-less resting was met and if not, how big the portion of the base resting on the gingiva was as compared to the total base. All bridge bodies were resting on the alveolar ridge without exerting pressure but with a more or less broad base. In 42 out of the 66 examined cases, the bridge body was in a 50 to 100% contact with the mucosa.
