So logically I would presume that hollow pontics =
(dents) pontiques creuses OR pontiques creux
Explanation: According to the GrandDic, a pontic is “The portion of a bridge which substitutes for an absent tooth, both esthetically and functionally; it usually, but not necessarily, occupies the space formerly filled by a natural tooth.” Its French equivalent is “(dent) pontique”, defined as “Dent minérale artificielle, munie d'une glissière qui la rend interchangeable”. Its quasi-synonyms are: “intermédiaire”, “dent intermédiaire”, “élément intermédiaire “, “intermédiaire de bridge”, “élément intermédiaire de bridge”. I found “pontique” as an equivalent of “pontic” in “Différents types de bridges / Various cases of fixed partial dentures”, article by S. Viennot et al., EMC – Odontologie, Volume 1, Issue 2 , June 2005, Pages 107-140. I’m not 100% sure about “creuser” in this particular context, though. Please wait for opinions from other peers.

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
