Plastic Hex Base for Casting

The Hex Base for Casting is a POM (acetal) plastic castable abutment engineered for Internal Hex 2.42 mm implant platforms. Its indexed hex provides anti-rotation for precise single-crown orientation during wax-up and casting (e.g., PFM or metal frameworks). POM plastic offers clean burnout and dimensional stability for accurate margins and emergence. Supplied with a prosthetic screw to secure the assembly during lab procedures and try-in.

Compatibility (Internal Hex 2.42 mm): Alpha-Bio®, Zimmer®, MIS®, Adin®, Implant Direct®, AB Dental® (third-party compatibility; not affiliated or endorsed).
Includes: 1× castable plastic abutment (POM), 1× prosthetic screw.

FAQs

Is this abutment indexed?

No. It is rotational (non-indexed) and intended for screw-retained bridges/frameworks. For single crowns requiring fixed orientation, use an indexed (hex) base.

Which platforms does it fit?

Designed for Internal Hex 2.42 mm platforms used by Alpha-Bio, Zimmer, MIS, Adin, Implant Direct, AB Dental (third-party compatibility; verify interface/fit).

What’s included in the package?

1× castable POM round-base abutment and 1× prosthetic screw.

Can I use this for cast-to restorations?

Yes. It’s intended for lost-wax/burnout casting (PFM or metal frameworks). Follow your lab protocol for waxing, investing, casting, and finishing.

When should I choose a round base vs a hex base?

Choose the round base for frameworks where rotation is acceptable and emergence shaping is the priority. Choose a hex (indexed) base for single-unit crowns that require a fixed orientation.
