## Indications for use
The Vericore Abutment is intended for use as an accessory to an endosseous implant to support a prosthetic device in a partially or completely endentulous patient. It is intended for use to support single and multiple tooth prosthesis, 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 abutment is placed over the implant and is mounted on to the implant with an abutment screw. This device is compatible with the following manufacturers' implant systems: Nobel Biocare, Southern Hexed, 3i, 3i Certain, Zimmer, Endopore, Nobel Replace, Southern Trilobe, Astra and Straumann. This device may be used in an early load situation, but is dependent on the specific implant system and protocol used by the dental professional.
