A tooth or teeth that support a permanent or removable bridge, or a connector used to attach a crown to a dental implant.
A tooth or implant used to anchor or support a prosthetic dental device, such as a partial denture or a bridge.
The supporting structure at the end of the bridge which retains the roadway approach to the bridge. York timber bridges include a timber abutment and wingwall as standard features. Example.
small round cylinders supported by implants in the bone that link the prosthesis to the implants; the prosthesis is anchored by using clips or magnets
The teeth on either side of a space left by missing teeth that support the replacement (pontics) of the missing teeth.
The teeth on either side of a missing tooth. Abutments are the part of the bridge used to support the replacement of the missing teeth (pontics).
masonry platform or earth embankment supporting the central structure of a bridge
An intersection between a roof and a wall. The solid mass of a pier or wall from which an arch springs.
The abutment to a bridge is the bridge support either side of the pontic or “false†tooth.
A tooth used to support a removable partial denture or anchor a fixed partial denture.
The natural tooth that holds in place a fixed or removable bridge
A tooth or tooth structure which is responsible for the anchorage of a bridge or a denture.
A structure that supports the end of a bridge.
The supporting wall or pier that receives the thrust of an arch.
The skewback of an arch and the masonry that supports it.
The sloping sides of valley that supports the ends of a dam.
tooth or teeth that support a fixed or removable bridge
A masonry mass that takes the downward thrust of an arch or a vault.
A tooth or dental implant used to support a prosthesis.
the foundation onto which the artificial tooth portion of a dental implant is attached.
the structure that supports the end of the bridge or accepts the thrust of the Burr arch and supports and retains the bridge approach
A tooth or implant used to support / anchor a prosthesis (bridge, partial denture, etc.).
Tooth or implant to which a fixed prosthesis is anchored. (see Dental Health).
A retaining wall that provides structural support for the deck of a bridge or overcrossing.
a tooth or root that is fitted with a crown to support a bridge or partial denture.
A natural tooth or implanted tooth substitute used to support or anchor a dental prosthesis
The support structure at either end of an arch or bridge. The intermediary supports are called piers.
A tooth or teeth used to support and anchor a fixed bridge or removable denture prosthesis.
A substructure element supporting each end of a single span or the extreme ends of a multi-span superstructure and, in general, retaining or supporting the approach embankment.
A mass of masonry supporting an arch or beam at the ends of a bridge.
The section of wall to the side of the curving part of the arch erected to counter the thrust of the arch
The connecting element between fixtures and dental crowns which penetrates the soft tissue between the jawbone and the oral cavity.
A support and retention device for a fixed or removable prosthesis. For example, this may be the natural tooth that is nearest the space left by a missing tooth when it has been crowned (or fitted with an inlay or onlay) and becomes one end of a fixed partial denture. An abutment is also a natural tooth to which the clasp of a partial denture is fitted.
In coal mining, (1) the weight of the rocks above a narrow roadway is transferred to the solid coal along the sides, which act as abutments of the arch of strata spanning the roadway; and (2) the weight of the rocks over a longwall face is transferred to the front abutment, that is, the solid coal ahead of the face and the back abutment, that is, the settled packs behind the face.
