Abstract :

Rigid connectors are preferred in the fabrication of most of the fixed partial dentures. But there are certain clinical situations where a completely rigid restoration is not desirable. Non rigid connectors offer many advantages in such situations. This article describes a case report where a non rigid connector is used to rehabilitate two missing teeth 24 and 26 with a 5 unit segmented ceramo-metallic fixed partial denture. Keywords: Connector, Non-rigid connector, Pier Abutment, Stress Distribution.
