Ensuring the Survival of Pier Abutment: A Case report

Monika Makkar, Swati Sharma, Reena Luthra, Preetinder Singh, Poonam Pathania

Abstract


Comprehensive treatment planning is an important aspect before actively undertaking the actual treatment procedures, even in similar looking clinical situations. The biomechanics of most commonly used fixed-fixed bridges falls deficient to justify load transmission in complex cases like pier abutments supporting a long span fixed prosthesis. In such situations, non-rigid connectors offer a relatively favourable loading thus ensuring the long term health of the abutment teeth.

 


Keywords
