abutment
Arch end support
An abutment is a structure that supports weight or pressure from the side—most commonly the solid supports at either end of a bridge or arch that bear its load and resist its outward thrust.
In dentistry, an abutment is a natural tooth or implant that anchors a dental bridge or prosthetic: The crown attaches to the abutment.
