Is it possible to use a broken tooth as abument for a bridge?

swisspencilcase
I lost both of my lower first molars a few years back. Now, I am considering having a bridge to fill the gaps. However, both of my second pre molars are damaged by cavities, and thus are mostly hollow (currently I had them filled). Both of my second molars are fine though. As I looked at pictures on how bridges are created, I'm wondering if my hollow second pre molars can be used as abutments, or should I expect my dentist to do a different procedure?
