Support or connecting elements used in Cosmetic Dentistry to support the placement of a bridge, crown or implant

UNSPSC 42151513 Dental prosthetic implant abutments is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fabrication and repair services for fixed and removable dental prosthetics, including dentures and partial dentures, supplied to public hospital and clinic systems serving their patient populations. The work involves laboratory fabrication of cases submitted by licensed dentists and dental students, with pickup and return logistics from clinic facilities and monthly per-case billing. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems and their affiliated medical centers; the recent opportunity shows San Mateo County Medical Center as the buyer, indicating that public hospital networks and integrated health delivery systems are the primary end-users rather than standalone dental practices or private providers.
