Abstract
Use of natural tooth (autologous or homologous) as pontic for resin bonded bridges in anterior region of jaws, present many advantages in cases where other treatment options are precluded due to poor economic condition of the patient. Two methods are used to connect the natural tooth pontic to abutments i.e. either by directly bonding the pontic to abutment teeth using composite resin, or by use of bonded metal framework to attach pontic to abutment teeth. In either case high long term failure rates are reported to be due to inadequate retention & support to the pontic. A technique is illustrated to improve retention & support of natural tooth pontic in the following clinical report.
