## Indications for use
The abutment submitted is for use in multiple unit, paruaL or full edentulous case types. The underlying surface mates with the external hex of the dental implant, and the set screw down the middle locks it into place. Its purpose is to provide a gentle contonr £ 2l ~mar~ing from the top of the implant into the oral cavity, ending with a metal margin or a cosmetic margin that can be established at the laboratory phase. The laboratory technician with this abutment has coping devices to place over the abutment or the abutment analog to fabricate the prosthetic design inthe laboratory, which will then be brought to the patient for these clinical indications. It is not intended for single-tooth application, as there is no built-in, anti-rotational features. It is, therefore, recommended only as a multiple unit; partially edentulous; or a multiple unit, totally edentulous abutment design. It functions similarly to other designs in this implant system for similar indications. The components are made of biocompatible ASTM standard titanium/titanium alloy, and it is not considered an implant, as is an abutment piece placed above the top of the implants.
