Management of Pier Abutment by Non – rigid Connector in FPD: A Case Report

Journal Title: IDA Ludhiana's Journal - Le Dentistry - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

The presence of pier abutment and its treatment poses a challenge to the prosthodontist. Also the rigid connectors are not an ideal treatment option in a long span i.e. 5 unit fixed partial denture with pier abutment. Non-rigid connectors have been recommended in such cases as they have a stress breaking effect. Also this connector transfers shear stresses to the supporting bone and permits the abutment to move independently. It prevents the middle abutment to act as fulcrum.
