Regarding the question on wiggley pontics, if you bond a bracket onto the pontic, place the pontic on the aw, theen squeeze the bracket (obviously only a steel bracket, not ceramic, plastic, or self-ligating) with a Weingart pliers the wings will "crimp" down on the wire for a nice stable fit. to keep it from sliding if I am trying to do anterior work I fig-8 it to the adjacent tooth or teeth as possible. Never had to "glue" it but the Triad gel idea does sound good, especially in the special brackets situation.

Re: Maxillary development Greetings, We know that the premaxillary sutures fuse in utero. Therefore, none of us has treated patients with a premaxilla. Unless, of course, you are treating chimps! Happy Trails,

ESCO members, Any suggestions for managing chin irritations from the chin cups on the facemasks. We have tried mole-skin, but this does not always do the trick. Todd Walkow

Hi everyone, It's that time of year and I thought I would throw out a question; what does everyone do for Holiday Bonuses? Do you use a formula, or have high middle low amount depending on your eval of someone's performance? I always feel that this is more a "gut" thing for me, and everyone goes out of their way to say thank you, but I was wondering what you all do. Thanks for input. You can e-mail me directly at scottsmoron@earthlink.net and I can try and summarize the info I get back into the main forum. Scott Smoron
