pontics of the bridge in the lower jaw
Explanation:
A bridge consists of one or more pontics (floating units supported from the side - the actual bridge) and abutments (attached units based on remaining roots, possibly reinforced by gold posts; or on implants).

I have a 9-tooth upper bridge following a cycling accident -- 3 pontics, 4 abutments.

could it just be the structuring of the bridge. A bridge is a type of denture which is a prosthetic replacement of one or more missing teeth and is then cemented or attached to teeth.
