Prefabricated pontic for a dental bridge

摘要

The invention relates to the construction of a prefabricated pontic for use in constructing a dental bridge. The prefabricated pontic has a framework that is adjustable in that it is comprised of a plurality of pliable metal members which interconnect for an open skeleton framework including an elongated central member extending lengthwise from the mesial to the distal and at least two members having open ends which overlap the central member at the mesial and distal ends with the open ends being separable from each other for adjusting the framework.
