Drawing Pontic Margins
A margin is drawn for each tooth in the bridge.
1 Click the tooth number tab for each abutment and draw the margin on the selected tooth.
An edentulous space does not technically have a margin. The margin is drawn to aid the design process.
2 Click Trace and designate the position and extension of the base of the pontic on the gingival tissue to t the
appropriate contour.
Do not go too far down the curve of the gingival tissue or you may not be able to t the bridge in the
block.
