Adhesively retained bridges replacing missing posterior teeth are reported to be less successful than those used to replace anterior teeth. This is due in part to the increased occlusal loading in the posterior region and inadequate rigidity of the retainers. This report describes the use of minimal preparation cast restorations incorporating an 'occlusal strut' to improve the rigidity of the retainers used to support pontics replacing upper premolars. The advantages of using intracoronal minimal preparations are discussed.
