This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Untitled, pressure-free contact between the pontic and the underlying tissues ???? ????, strict patient compliance on meticulous flossing procedure, pressure-free contact between the pontic and the underlying tissues which is generally accepted, meticulous flossing procedure to prevent ulceration, the pressure area should be identified using disclosing medium (e.g. pressure-indicating paste), ridge contact described as pressure-free contact between the pontic and the underlying tissues, ulceration happens when pontic rests on mucosa, Positive ridge pressure caused by excessive scraping of the ridge area on the definitive cast, tissue contact is entirely passive occur exclusively keratinized attached area, Pontic Tissue Contact on the Edentulous Ridge known as ridge contact, once-popular practice which was excessive scraping of the ridge area on the definitive cast, esthetic requirement is highly prioritized specifically improves pontic-ridge relationship appearance, obtain close adaptation of the pontic in order to once-popular practice, Pontic Tissue Contact on the Edentulous Ridge should be as convex as possible, Positive ridge pressure only indicated if strict patient compliance, pressure-free contact between the pontic and the underlying tissues which avoids Positive ridge pressure, Positive ridge pressure satisfies esthetic requirement is highly prioritized, pontic rests on mucosa as a result of normal movement of the mucosa in contact with the pontic, pressure-free contact between the pontic and the underlying tissues to prevent ulceration, ridge contact if blanching of the soft tissues is observed at evaluation the pontic should be recontoured
