Work Instruction
for the Locator ®
Retentive System
Carefully relieve the denture at the intended
area for the retention housings and then
perforate it above the housings (as a release
for excess acrylic and for checking). Grind the
denture area intended for the retention
housings sufficiently to permit the inserted
denture to be seated over the housings
without making contact. Any contact can
alter the proper fit of the denture.
To cure the retention housings, apply selfcuring
acrylic and process it in accordance
with manufacturer instructions. Apply a
small amount into the relieved areas in the
denture and also apply some to the retention
housings as well.
Remove the denture from the patient's mouth
after the acrylic has cured, remove excess
acrylic, and polish.
Remove the black processing replacement
males as described in "Insertion of the
replacement males" on page 8, and exchange
them with the according replacement males.
Insert the finished denture and check the
occlusion.

7.4 Exchange of the replacement males
Follow the same procedure in exchanging
the replacement males as for removal of the
processing replacement males with the
Locator ® core tool and insertion with the
seating tool (middle piece).
7.5 Restoring or relining of the denture
base
Chairside:
Remove all colored replacement males from
the retention housings in the denture as
described in "7.4 Exchange of the replacement
males" and replace them with the black
processing replacement males.
The black processing replacement male will
ensure secure fixation of the denture while
taking the impression. Do not apply any
impression material in or around the
Locator ® .
While taking a relining impression, make sure
the denture is correctly seated on the
Locator ® abutments.
Leave the black processing replacement
males in the retention housings after removal
of the relined denture base.
