Drawing Pontic Margins
A margin is drawn for each tooth in the bridge.
1
Click the tooth number tab for each abutment and draw the margin on the selected tooth.
An edentulous space does not technically have a margin. The margin is drawn to aid the design
process.
2
Click Trace and designate the position and extension of the base of the pontic on the gingival
tissue to fit the appropriate contour.

Note: Do not go too far down the curve of the gingival tissue or you may not be
able to fit the bridge in the block.
