[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 272894, member: 4850"] it is plastic, meaning it can be cast in the material of choice. you wax to it, trim it, or use it to pick up the locations in an impression. in your case, wax to it and cast. now, if you have to cast a bridge in this you can get undercuts, and thats not a good thing when there are bits that extend into the implant interface. so this piece exists for you to choose how much to engage; because in some cases that bit that extends into the implant can be beneficial, and in other cases it would be inhibitor to seating your prosthetic. so being plastic you can trim it. make sense ?
