## Indications for use
The Lifecore PrimaConnex® CAD/CAM Abutment System is intended for use as an accessory to a Lifecore PrimaConnex endosseous implant to support a prosthetic device in a partially or completely edentulous patient. It is intended for use to support single and multiple tooth prostheses in the mandible or maxilla. The prosthesis can be cement retained to the abutment. The abutment screw is intended to secure the abutment to the endosseous implant. The copings are intended for use as a core structure for a prosthetic restoration in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae in the construction of single-unit cement retained restorations on Lifecore PrimaConnex CAD/CAM Abutments.
