What is it indicated for?

cemented provisional restorations at second stage uncovering. Once the restoration has

been applied to the temporary abutment, it can be used to develop a more esthetic

emergence profile. Temporary abutment is not to be used as a permanent abutment.

Not to exceed 28-days of placement.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
