Gold-Base UCLA Castable Abutment compatible with Centerpulse Screw-Vent and Tapered Screw-Vent Compatible 3.5mm Platform Hexed — Titanium Screw Included (P-35GCLPSL-SD)

What it is. This is a two-part pattern: a precious-metal cylinder that seats on the implant, with a plastic sleeve above it. The laboratory waxes the plastic to the shape the patient needs, then burns the plastic and wax away and casts an alloy onto the cylinder. The cylinder itself stays — it is not burned out — so the machined fit against the implant is preserved exactly. Use a castable when no stock abutment fits: the implant sits at an awkward angle, the gum height is unusual, or you want the crown screwed straight onto the implant with no cement line.

How to use it

1. Seat the gold cylinder on the model.
2. Wax the plastic sleeve to shape. Grooves spaced every 1mm let you measure and pass heights between laboratory and dentist.
3. Invest and burn out. The plastic and wax disappear; the cylinder remains.
4. Cast a compatible alloy onto the cylinder.
5. Divest, finish and fit. The remaining grooves help the casting hold cement.

• Engaging — it indexes to the implant’s anti-rotation feature so the restoration cannot rotate. Use it for single crowns.
• A castable is consumed in casting, so order one per unit you intend to make.
