Modified Ridge Lap, the concavity is created either through surgically at some later time, when hygienic pontic design is used since both are used for teeth in the nonappearance zone, bluntly rounded and is set into a concavity in the ridge, Characteristics it is easily flossed, posterior bridges which are more susceptible to mechanical problems, a slight concavity on the facial side of the ridge which can be cleaned and tolerated by the tissue, PONTIC CLASSIFICATION Depending on Mucosal Contact With Mucosal Contact, the concavity is created either through placement of a provisional FPD, Modified Ridge Lap in terms of Characteristics, Modified Ridge Lap in terms of Ridge Contact, Characteristics show illusion of a tooth, but it possesses all or nearly all convex surfaces, when it is a high stress situation like long span bridges, Metal-ceramic pontics ???? ????, Faciolingual Surface may have a slight concavity on the facial side of the ridge, illusion of a tooth, but it possesses all or nearly all convex surfaces for for ease of cleaning
