title: Natural teeth pontics for a cast metal resin-bonded prosthesis.
abstract: A technique using natural teeth as pontics for a cast metal resin-bonded prosthesis was described. The patient's periodontally condemned teeth were used for pontics after extraction, endodontic obturation, and preparation for resin bonding to a cast metal framework. The advantages are technique simplicity, esthetics, conservation of natural tooth structure, and reduced laboratory cost.
