Well, this is an illustration for a pier abutment on a max FPD
but it shows the stress-breaking effect we want to have on the
weaker abutment under load.

And when there is occlusal force on the attachment, there
is better force distribution among the roots of the abutments. ■

This is good. Thanks, Lane! The diagram makes sense. So why would we be placing them
on most posterior mandibular 3-unit bridges but not on maxillary 3-unit bridges? (Maybe you
never said this.) Wouldn't the forces applied be the same? Sorry for all the questions! I guess I
now know what I am going to try the next time I treatment plan a bridge! ■

I have a case in progress where the distal abutment of an old bridge 13-x-15 had debonded at
the #15 abutment but was solid on #13. Removed then bridge reprepped. #13 was a tall retentive
prep. I asked my lab for a keyway on the distal of #13. The bridge I got back from the lab has a
keyway on the mesial of #15 with the female on #15 and the male portion on the pontic. Will
this setup be subject to failure, or should I send it back and have it remade? ■

It depends. I like the least retentive prep to have the stress breaker in it, typically that's the bi. ■

As Lane showed, we do use them on maxillary bridges when there's either a long span or a
pier abutment. Generally not needed on short span maxillary bridges because of the direction of
forces. The exception is when one abutment is significantly weaker than the other. ■

I'm having a little trouble understanding how to "reverse the attachment." I understand the
female has to sit in the mesial abutment, with less retention to sit and direct force down that
less-retentive abutment and minimize mesial lifting. I'm having trouble visualizing how the
reverse attachment would work to hide the keyway without placing the keyway into the mesial
of the pontic. I did a search on DT and found another thread mentioning it, but it seems that the
reverse would result in some tipping forces distal to the mesial abutment, right? ■

That's OK, the trick is to allow some independent movement
between the abutments, so the less-retentive one doesn't work
loose. ■
