UCLA Castable Abutment compatible with Paragon Screw-Vent and Tapered Screw-Vent 3.5mm Platform (Hex/Non-Hex) — Engaging or Non-Engaging, Titanium Screw Included, All-Plastic Burnout Sleeve (P-35PS)

What it is. This is a plastic sleeve that fits onto the implant. It is not the finished part — it is a pattern. The laboratory builds wax onto it in the shape the patient needs, then burns the plastic and wax away in a furnace and casts metal into the space they leave. What comes out is a one-piece custom abutment, or a crown screwed straight onto the implant, made for that patient only. 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 sleeve on the model.
2. Wax it 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 completely, leaving no residue.
4. Cast your chosen alloy into the mould.
5. Divest, finish and fit. The remaining grooves help the casting hold cement.

Also useful: the Titan Implant Locator Pin threads into the implant so the abutment slides over it and seats before you place the screw. It also lets you check implant parallelism. It is a seating tool, not an impression device, and it does not work with solid abutments, which have no through hole.
