Regular clinical dental scenario deals with management of different types of partial edentulism using fixed partial dentures. A most common finding is presence of abutments with edentulous space both anterior and posterior to it making it a pier abutment. This is mainly seen in cases of missing maxillary first premolar and maxillary first molar resulting in second maxillary premolar a pier abutment . Maxillary canine & maxillary second molar acts as mesial and distal abutments respectively. Due to teetering movements during function, a rigid FPD is going to cause the terminal abutments to intrude as pier abutments becomes fulcrum. These movements will eventually result in debonding of the less retentive terminal retainer . To overcome such risk utilisation of non rigid connectors is advised. This article is a case report of one such pier abutment that was rehabilitated using non rigid connector.
