Modification
Impression is recorded at implant level and the model is fabricated The plastic cylinders on the CastDesign™ are modified at the dental laboratory.
Note: The plastic cylinder should not be angled (like the Cresco™ Wax Tube). The screw access hole must be kept straight.

Wax-up/Casting
The abutment is shaped in wax as support for a cemented crown or porcelain build-up directly on the modified abutment. When grinding on a casted abutment the abutment is placed in an implant replica using the colour- coded laboratory screw and mounted in the grinding handle.

|
Installation
The abutment is installed together with a temporary crown or the final restoration using the hex screwdriver and torque wrench.
|
|
|
Cementation
The cementation can be done with the most common cements. The technique should be adapted to the restoration of choice and according to the instructions from the manufacturer.
