1. Restorative Dentist
 Follow the steps for Implant Level Impressions on pages 11-13 for the Pick-Up Technique and pages 14-16 for the Twist Lock™ Transfer Technique.

 Place the proper Hexed Gold UCLA Abutment into the implant analog, line up the hex and press firmly until hearing and feeling the audible and tactile click.(See page 6 for finger deactivation instructions.)

or

 Place the proper diameter Hexed Gold UCLA Abutment onto the implant analog, engaging the hex.

 Thread a try-in or waxing screw into the analog until finger tight using a .048” Large Hex Driver. Reduce or adjust the plastic sleeve as necessary. Add wax to the waxing sleeve to form the custom abutment with ideal emergence, angulation and crown margins.

3.  Carefully remove the waxed custom abutment from the implant analog. Invest, burnout and cast the custom abutment to the UCLA Gold Cylinder using a semi-precious or high noble alloy (see page 9 for casting alloy specifications). Divest and finish the custom abutment. Polish the gold abutment collar and entire subgingival portion of the abutment with a polishing protector in place.

4.  Place the finished custom abutment back onto the implant analog in the cast and thread a try-in screw into the analog until finger tight. Cover the access hole with wax. Wax the single-unit PFM crown coping on the custom abutment. Invest, burnout and cast the coping in a semi-precious or high noble alloy. Opaque, build porcelain, stain and glaze the single-unit crown.
