Certain® Non-Hexed Abutments

The Certain Non-hexed Abutments are designed to provide flexibility for laboratory technicians when fabricating splinted multi-unit, screwretained provisionals, bridge frameworks and bars for implant level restorations.

• Internal Engagement
The non-hexed abutments have a 1mm internal engagement feature to allow a greater degree of draw from multiple divergent implants than other internal connection implant systems (fig. 13).

• Large Diameter Abutment Screw
The non-hexed abutments are retained into the implant with a unique Large Diameter Gold-Tite® or Titanium Abutment Screw. The larger diameter screw provides lateral stability to the restoration. It goes into the full depth of the internal connection, replacing the 4mm length of the hexed abutment’s connection (fig. 13). Each Certain Non-hexed Abutment is packaged with a Large Diameter Gold-Tite or Titanium Abutment Screw.

• Maximum Draw Of Non-Hexed Abutments
The non-hexed abutments have a maximum draw angle of 40º between implants (fig. 14).

• Gold Alloy Cylinder Formulation
The formulation specifics for the gold alloy cylinder material used with the UCLA Abutments is indicated on the chart to the right. The formulation should be taken into consideration during burnout and casting procedures.
