## Indications for use
Cortex CAD/CAM Abutments are dental abutments placed onto a dental implant to provide support for dental prosthetic restorations. The abutments include: 1) Titanium abutment blanks with a pre-machined implant connection where the upper portion may be custom-milled in accordance with a patient-specific design using CAD/CAM techniques; and 2) Titanium bases with a pre-machined implant connection upon which a CAD/CAM designed superstructure may be fitted to complete a two-piece dental abutment. The abutments include an abutment screw for fixation to the underlying implant. The abutments may be used for single-unit (single-tooth) or multiple-unit (bridges and bars) restorations and are compatible for use with Cortex Dental Implants with internal hex-connection mating platform and conical connection platform diameters. All digitally designed abutments and/or copings for use with Cortex CAD/CAM Abutments are intended to be sent to a Cortex-validated milling center for manufacture. Cortex abutments designed using CAD/CAM techniques must fulfill the Cortex allowable range of design parameters.
