title: A system for localizing pontics.
abstract: The ceramometal pontic has the greatest potential as an esthetic replacement for missing teeth. Maximum esthetic and mechanical properties are obtainable only with post-ceramic soldering. A means of maintaining positional stability for the pontic is offered, as well as some helpful hints in the use of the technique in various clinical situations.
