%X An abutment having edentulous space on both sides is referred to as a pier abutment. The rehabilitation of a patient whose primary concern when they first came to the hospital was missing teeth is discussed in this case report. When using a pier abutment for a fixed dental prosthesis, there is a problem with fulcrum and torqueing pressures at the intermediate abutment. Forces on the pier abutment may become localized as a result of using a rigid connector. It has been suggested that non-rigid connectors be used to overcome this. Here, using a non-rigid connector as a stress breaker resulted in less stress being placed on the prosthetic assembly and abutment. This article offers a clinical case report that details the use of a non-rigid connector in a pier abutment scenario for rehabilitation.
