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.

A locking rod and tube connector.

Two methods for interlocking the segments of fixed splints are advocated: (1) solderless joints where the connector occurs between adjacent abutment teeth and (2) a locking rod and tube attachment when the connector occurs in a pontic space. The locking rod and tube attachment was described. It allows complete independence of each segment. If problems occur in any segment of the splint, only that segment must be removed to make a repair. Other splinting techniques were presented along with their advantages and disadvantages.
