ABSTRACT

Pontic E is an alternative treatment for premature dental loss, this type of pontic was published for the first time in 2014 by Robert P. Korman. The design of the pontic allows to offer predictability in terms of support and maintenance of the gingival architecture, it also promotes that the vestibular tissue migrates coronally over the pontic, creating a gingival groove. A patient was received who presented a radicular fragment of tooth 21 and absence of tooth 12, atrophic residual ridge (class I according to Seibert). As a treatment plan, atraumatic extraction of the root fragment of tooth 21 was performed to delay the collapse of the alveolar ridge and connective tissue graft was placed in the area of tooth 12 to correct Seibert’s class I defect, conformation was performed of the gingival niches with electrocautery in conjunction with the provisional prosthesis and the preparation of the abutment teeth for the reception and rehabilitation with pontics E. A fixed prosthesis of five units was placed (teeth from 13 to 23) of Zr core material and stratified with ceramic.
