title: [Effects of bridge parts on the gingiva].
abstract: Over the past few years, preparation and insertion of a dental bridges have been considerably modified and rationalized due to new methods and techniques. The former requirements the shape of pontics hat to meet are no longer fully valid. The behavior of the various materials (metals, resins, ceramics) in the mouth and especially towards the gingiva has been tested sufficiently. Knowledge regarding the functional conditions (flushing of the gingiva underneath bridges, turgor, abutment mobility, pulsation) has considerably increased in the past few years. Therefore recommendations regarding the shaping of pontics can be formulated that meet the anatomic, physiologic, and hygienic conditions as well as the esthetic wishes of the patients.
