An Osstem Castable Abutment is a customizable dental abutment designed for use with Osstem implant systems. It is specifically intended to be used in the casting process to create custom abutments for dental implants. This type of abutment is part of Osstem's broader offering of components that allow for greater flexibility and precision in creating the final restoration for implant-supported prostheses.
Castable Material
The term "castable" refers to the fact that the abutment is made from a material that can be melted and cast into a specific shape, allowing it to be customized to fit the needs of individual patients. Castable abutments are generally made from a special wax or resin material that can be used to create a mold, which is then used to cast a final abutment in a more durable material (such as titanium or cobalt-chromium alloy).
Customization
One of the main advantages of the castable abutment system is that it allows the dental technician or dentist to create a custom abutment for each patient. This is especially useful when the implant position is not ideal, or when the abutment needs to be adjusted for the angulation, height, or alignment of the final restoration.
Casting Process
After the initial castable abutment is placed onto the implant, a casting process (such as lost-wax casting) is used to create the final, more durable abutment. The casting process allows for precise adaptation to the implant and accurate fit for the final crown or prosthesis.
Material Choices
While the initial castable abutment is made of a material that can be cast, the final abutment (once it has been cast) is typically made of titanium, zirconia, or cobalt-chromium, materials that are well-suited to withstand the forces in the mouth and are also biocompatible.
Improved Fit and Function
By allowing for a custom abutment, the Osstem Castable Abutment helps ensure that the final restoration (such as a crown or bridge) has the best possible fit, function, and aesthetic appearance. This is particularly useful in cases where the implant's positioning may not align perfectly with the natural contours of the patient's mouth.
Flexibility in Restorations
Castable abutments can be used in a variety of implant restorations, including single-tooth restorations, multi-unit bridges, and even full-arch implant cases. Their customizability ensures that the final restoration will be aligned properly with the adjacent teeth and provide optimal performance.
Customizable
Can be adjusted for angulation and height to better match the patient's anatomy.
01
Precision
The casting process ensures a highly accurate fit for the final abutment, which is critical for long-term success.
02
Durability
Once the abutment is cast from a high-quality metal, it offers durability and strength for supporting crowns or other restorations.
03
Cost-effective
Castable abutments can often be more cost-effective compared to pre-fabricated custom abutments, while still providing the ability for full customization.
04
Versatility
Useful in both single-tooth implants and larger, more complex implant restorations (such as bridges or full-arch cases).
05
Single-Implant Restorations
For patients who need a custom-fit abutment for a single implant.
Complex Implant Cases
Especially helpful for multi-unit restorations, where precise angulation and fit are required.
Angulation Correction
In cases where the implant angle is off and a standard abutment will not work, the castable abutment can be customized to correct the angle and position of the final restoration.
Full-Arch Restorations
Used for creating customized abutments for full-arch or overdenture systems, where precise fit and alignment are necessary for optimal results.

Q: What is a castable abutment?
A: A castable abutment, also known as the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) abutment, is a prefabricated component, with or without a prefabricated cylinder, used to make a custom abutment for a cement-retained or screw-retained prosthesis.
Q: What material is used for abutment?
A: Abutments are typically made out of titanium, but other materials like zirconia and gold are sometimes used. Zirconia, in particular, is becoming increasingly popular since it's has a similar color to your natural teeth. That makes it less visible inside your mouth than titanium.
Q: What are dental abutments made of?
A: Abutments are constructed with titanium, stainless steel, zirconia, gold, or polyether ether ketone. Each type of material has specific properties. Your dentist will choose the best material for your unique needs.
Q: What happens if a dental abutment falls out?
A: Most of the time when patients say their dental implant has fallen out, the abutment is the piece that can become dislodged, not the entire dental implant. A dentist can simply replace the abutment and reattach the crown to resolve the problem.
