fabricate an Analogue Model
2. Attach the Caston abutment to the Universal
analogue using a Low Profile Screw. Ensure that
the hex is correctly seated.

the line of the planned restoration. If additional
height is not required the plastic sleeve can be
removed and the wax applied directly to the Caston
abutment.

can be waxed up in order to obtain a definite
finishing line between the post and the crown.

(e.g. Argenco 1 or Degunorm). Following casting
the customized post is finished and polished.
