UCLA Abutments

Implant Specialist Alex Rugh explains what UCLA abutments are and how they work. They can be used to make traditional screw-retained PFM or FCG crowns as well as custom abutments.
The UCLA technique was the only way to fabricate custom abutments before CAD/CAM abutments became available. These days we only use this technique when a CAD/CAM abutment is not available.

UCLA Abutments are available for just about every implant system including:
Nobel Biocare Conical Connection
Straumann Bone Level, Tissue Level, BLX and TLX
Dentsply Sirona Astra Tx and Astra EV
BioHorizons
Zimvie TSV & 3i Certain
