	Pontic
		Pontic refers to a replacement, artificial tooth or teeth that are mounted on a fixed or removal dental appliance.
		One of the main components of a dental bridge, the pontic is attached to two surrounding abutments (dental crowns) to create a seamless impression of a complete set of healthy teeth.
		Pontics and their attachments provides support for facial muscles, improves oral functions such as speech and chewing ability, and enhances one's facial appearance and smile.

	The Pontic Alps
		The typical Pontic village is composed of houses scattered over a valley with only a church to mark its center, whereas the plateau village is a small nucleated huddle of houses, not much different from the settlements of five thousand years earlier.
		The second type of climate is to be found on the southern slopes of the Pontic chain; this is the cool, temperate continental climate that is typical of the Anatolian plateau as a whole.
		The Pontic coastline provides very few natural harbors, with the notable exception of that of the city of Sinope, where the peninsula provides ideal protection against weather; it is a tribute to the wisdom of the Milesians that they founded there their first Black Sea colony.

	Method and appratus for making a dental prosthesis and product therefrom - Patent 4713005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bridge bar assembly 30 is used in a method for forming a pontic (pontics) or false tooth (teeth) between a first tooth and a second tooth posteriorly positioned with respect to the first tooth, said pontic or pontics resting lightly on the gum surface therebetween.
		In the first embodiment of the present invention, a pontic (or pontics) 52 is formed in situ in an edentulous space defined between a first anterior tooth 54 (or two anterior teeth) and a second tooth 56 posteriorly positioned with respect to first tooth 54 and resting lightly on the gum surface 58 therebetween.
		Pontic base 44 is screw-threaded up into the boss 32 so that the base position rests lightly on the gum surface in the edentulous space between first and second teeth 54 and 56, while the lower surface 42 of the bridge bar rests on the occlusal floor of the grooves in the teeth.

	Pontic Music and Dance presented in Culture section
		The oldest known Pontic dance is probably the “serra” or “pyrrikheos”, a pyrrhic dance that is described by Xenophon in the 4th century B.C. A mens’ war dance, it is sometimes danced with knives or short swords similar to the Caucasian kinjal.
		Pontic music - with ancient rhythms and sung in Pontic Greek (a mixture of Ancient and Byzantine Greek, Ottoman Turkish, as well as some Persian and Caucasian words) - has influenced and been influenced by other cultures of the area.
		As well several of the rhythms and melodies of other Pontic songs and dances are found in Afghanistan (especially the North) and Uzbekistan and Central Asia in general.

	Device and method for the preparation of a fixed dental bridge - Patent 4758162
		The wax pontic is movable and rotatable relative to the bar.
		This means that the pontic must be positioned precisely in relation to the existing teeth on either side of it and must also have correct cusp to fossa relationship.
		It is to be understood that the type of pontic chosen is that which is desired for the position of the mouth.

	Interview with Thea Halo
		After Thea Halo had visited her Pontic Greek mother's and Assyrian father's lands, she embarked on another pilgrimage, that of the mind and the soul, to discover and help preserve a history much forgotten and a genocide barely remembered.
		I dedicate this interview to the memory of the hundreds of thousands of Assyrians and Pontic Greeks that perished in Turkey almost a century ago, just about the same time that a million and a half Armenians were marching to their deaths.
		She said, the Pontic Greeks lived in Asia Minor for 3 thousand years and I go to school and no one in Holland knows we ever existed.

	Procera® Aluminum Oxide Bridge Reports \| Length of the Pontic
		The anteroposterior length of the pontic on the load bearing capacity of the Procera AllCeram bridge was another study initiated by the Center investigators.
		The smallest pontic length was 3.0 mms from joint to joint as measured on the superior surface of the pontic.
		Element 13 located in the middle of the veneer layer along the lower border of the pontic demonstrated fracture at force applications of 800 N or lower only after the pontic length had exceeded 15.0 mms which would be rather large for a pontic in most patient situations.

	Tip of the Month
		In recent years, the ovate pontic style has gained popularity due to the ability of the clinician and laboratory to fabricate a restoration that achieves the all important "natural" look.
		Another benefit of the ovate pontic is that it is easily cleaned since the entire surface of the pontic is convex allowing a patient to easily pass floss over the entire tissue surface.
		To properly define the ovate pontic it is best to add some flowable composite to the pontic site at this time.

	Pontian music and dance
		Although Pontic Greeks are found throughout most of mainland Greece today there is a high concentration of them in Macedonia where many of them were originally settled upon arrival from their Asia Minor homeland.
		Kotsari is one of the Pontic dances with several variations, Sometimes these variations are called out by the dancer at the right end of the line; other times it is a matter of individual preference.
		Perhaps this has come about as a result of some of the Pontic lyra players learning to play a few Cretan dance songs, It is interesting to see the dances of Crete being performed in strictly Pontic style, for it is rare to find a dancer who can change from one style to the other.

	BirdForum - Pontic Gulls ??
		Pontic Gull and Yellow-legged Gull breed in close proximity along the Black Sea coast of Rumania, apparently without interbreeding (Klein and Buchheim 1997).
		Armenian Gull L armenicus is specifically distinct from Pontic Gull, Yellow-legged Gull and Heuglin´s Gull L heuglini based on qualitative differences in morphology and vocalizations (Géroudet 1982, Hume 1983, Dubois 1985, Grant 1986, 1987, Satat and Laird 1992, Buzun 1993, Filchagov 1993, Frede and Langbehn 1997).
		Ref the bird on photo 1, I mainly concluded that it was a Pontic because of the red and BLACK spot on the lower mandible, which according to Mullarney is a feature of the Pontic.

	Subpontic osseous hyperplasia
		A thick, sclerotic cortical elevation or mass is seen to have a superior concavity, corresponding to the contour of the overlying pontic, which has been removed in the photo.
		The lesion slowly enlarges and eventually presses against the overlying pontic (false tooth), causing a potential infection or irritation because the patient cannot properly clean to area under the bridge.
		Figure 2: Cortical proliferation is located eccentrically beneath the pontic, with a small focus of radiolucency immediately beneath its surface, representing focus of acute osteomyelitis.

	Technical Strategies: ortho answers
		Shape the pontic, then cut a large area out of its lingual side so that the entire cutout is beveled, creating an undercut at all edges of the cutout.
		This also makes it easier to place the pontic, since there is a loop of wire to hold onto while adjusting the pontic’s position and waxing it into place on the model.
		Now the pontic will have a large area of undercut as well as a loop of wire locked onto the pontic to help hold it to the appliance.

	PONTIC LYRA
		It may be that the old dancing master’S kit or pochette fiddle (2) one form of which outwardly resembles the Pontic lyra, was adapted and developed later in isolation in Pontos led to the present form of Pontic lyra (3).
		On the other hand, the Pontic lyra may be result of the natural development of an instrument which had, at once time, an elongated water gourd for its body.
		The Pontic lyra was taken to the Caucasus in the last half of the 19th Century and the first quarter of the 20th Century by both Pontic immigrants and refugees.

	Pontus sarkilari - Pontiac Greek music / cdRoots
		The present anthology is devoted to Pontic Greek music as recorded in Athens in 1930 by Melpo Merlier.
		The favored musical instrument of the Pontic Greeks is the lyra or kemence, it has a long rectangular shape and was traditionally played as a solo instrument accompanying both songs and dances.
		A peculiarity of the Pontic lyra is that it is played in parallel fourths by double stopping the strings with the fîngertips.

		Traditionally, other instruments used are the "tulum" (a double chanter bagpipe with no drone that is also played in other parts of Eastern Turkey and Georgia); the "davul" (a double-headed drum); and occasionally, the "zurna" (double reed oboe) and more rarely a flute.
		The kemenche and tulum are prevalent in the Eastern regions around Trabzon, Of, Surmene and Giresun while Western Pontos especially Ak Dag Maden is stylistically closer to local Turkish music with the Halay being common.
		Some of the Karamanli argued against being transferred to Greece in 1923, saying although they were Orthodox Christians they were not of Greek lineage but descended from the pre-Byzantine indigenous population.

		The significant changes having taken place in the reconstruction of the ethnic and political history of the Pontic cities, states and tribes, is connected both with the discovery of new monuments (including epigraphic texts) and with the critical appraisal of already well known evidence.
		Scythian art is a similar continuation of the Pontic and North Caucasian artistic tradition under new "Orientalistic" impulses, as was the transition between Geometric and Archaic art in Greece and Etruria.
		In this paper I try to show, with reference to materials from the Pontic region and Asia Minor, that in monumental Greek sculpture it is possibe to single out a trend parallel to the Greek "Classical" one, to which we shall refer, for the sake of convenience, as "non-Classical".

		After healing, a Eubank bridge using an “E” pontic was planned, along with porcelain veneers on teeth ##8 and 9; and a porcelain crown on tooth #10.
		The tissue continued to blanch for a minute or two after the ridge was socketed; this ensured lateral pressure by the pontic to push the adjacent papilla incisally.
		The “Eubank” bridge with an “E” pontic is a conservative technique that allows for beautiful esthetics and functional replacement of an anterior tooth (Figs 13 & 14).

	Dental Economics - Ovate pontic receptor sites
		The ovate pontic receptor site is a depression or socket created in the soft tissue that allows the cervical aspect of the pontic to emerge from it, making it appear to emerge from the alveolar ridge.
		Since the pontic occupies the same space that the original tooth did, the pontic’s emergence profile appears natural, especially when compared to a modified ridge lap pontic.
		Ensure that you leave a minimum of 2 mm of space between the tissue side of the pontic and the crestal bone to allow the soft tissue to fill this space.

		While a host of other diagnostic considerations must be factored in to fixed prosthetics treatment planning-including abutment crown to root ratio, root shape and angulation, width of pontic occlusal table, total pontic occlusal table surface area, and overall periodontal health status of abutment teeth-Ante's law relates only to root surface area.
		A two-tooth pontic span has eight times the flexure of a one-tooth span; a three-tooth span 27 times as much flexure.
