Successful Dentures Part II - Removable Prosthodontics

Locator Selection
Locator Abutment Delivery
Select the correct Locator Abutment based on the
level of tissue indicated when using the Abutment
Depth Gauge.
Appropriate abutment height keeps the top 1.5
mm extended above the soft tissue.
Seat the Locator Abutment using the Locator
Abutment Driver, part of the Core Tool.
For final tightening, use the Torque Wrench Bit
together with a Torque Wrench, or insert a driver
into the Abutment Driver.
The recommended seating torque is 20-25 Ncm.
