Post soldering a telescopic pontic.

A technique has been presented that involves the use of a telescopic ceramometal pontic soldered to a type III alloy substructure (Figs. 4 and 5). This technique eliminates the need for manufactured facings or the use of processed acrylic resin, but it incorporates the advantages of porcelain esthetics and wear with the increased ability to burnish the retainer margins.

A preliminary study of wear of porcelain when subjected to functional movements of retentive clasp arms.

Porcelain-metal crowns simulating abutment retainers for removable partial denture clasping were studied to determine the effects of wear to the porcelain surface and possibilities of fracture. Surface profile recordings at x 1,000 were made on the porcelain surfaces before and after subjecting samples to wear that was equivalent to 2 years of patient use. Little or no change was recorded in these surface profiles, indicating that little or no wear had occurred. None of the samples failed due to porcelain fracture. It appears that well-fabricated, glazed porcelain surfaces can withstand the wear forces of removable partial retentive clasp arms.
