What is the meaning of Pontic Designing?

Pontic Designing is widely used term in Dental Procedures.

Pontic designing refers to the process of creating or fabricating a pontic, which is an artificial tooth that is used to fill in the gap left by a missing natural tooth in a dental prosthetic. This technique is commonly used in dental procedures such as bridge work, where a pontic is used to replace a missing tooth and is supported by adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The pontic is designed to match the size, shape, and color of the surrounding teeth to ensure a natural and aesthetic appearance. The design of the pontic may involve considerations such as the occlusion (bite) of the patient, the stability of the adjacent teeth, and the overall oral health of the patient.
