What is it indicated for?

Used by a dental lab technician, under the direction of an attending dentist, to cast elements of fixed and removable dental prostheses:

precious metal inlays, onlays, and crowns;

precious metal bridges, bars, and attachments;

precious metal copings and bridges for porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations.

When used for porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations it is intended by the manufacturer that only Carrara Porcelain products be used with the Cera E alloy.

After fabrication and finishing the completed prosthesis is approved and placed in the patient’s mouth by the dentist.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA 510(k) statement, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
