Intended Use

PMMA BLOCK is used for the fabrication removable or temporary dental structures, such as crowns and bridges using milling technology using CAD/CAM.

Indications for Use:

  • Temporary anterior and posterior crowns;
  • Temporary anterior and posterior bridges;
  • Removable structures for dentures;
  • Removable structures for therapeutic restorations (night guards, bite splints or occlusal splints).
Device Description

PMMA BLOCK is a circular solid (disc) or rectangular solid (block) of PMMA with or without post attachment for use in a CAD/CAM milling machine for production of provisional restorative prostheses such as dental crowns and bridges and removable dental structures. These blocks are available in a variety of shapes for different milling systems and are also available in variety of dental shades.
