Work Instruction
for the Locator ®
Retentive System
7. Application
6
The divergence of the implant axes
between two implants must not exceed
40° (20° per implant). With implants of
3.3 mm diameter, the divergence must
not exceed 20° (10° per implant).
Before selecting the appropriate Locator ®
abutment the implant diameter and gingival
height must be known.
Select the height of the Locator ® abutment
in relation to the gingival height. The exact
height of the abutment has been selected
when the functional area extends 1.5 mm
above the surrounding tissue.
The functional area must never be
positioned below the gingiva level!
7.1 Locator ® abutment insertion
Remove the healing cap and clean the inside
of the implant. Make sure that the contact
surface between implant and abutment is
free of bone and soft tissue. This is the only
way to ensure satisfactory seating of the
abutment on the implant.
When inserting the Locator ® abutment into
the implant, use the driver for Locator ®
abutment manual or the gold-colored driver
of the Locator ® core tool.
Locator ® abutments must be secured
during insertion into the mouth to
prevent aspiration (e.g. with dental floss).
Locator ® abutments with 3.3 mm diameter
are tightened with a torque of
20 Ncm. Abutments with 3.8, 4.3, and
5.0 mm diameters are tightened with a
torque of 30 Ncm. The abutments must
be retightened after 5 minutes with the
respective torque.
7.2 Measurement of implant axis with
parallel posts and the angle measurement
guide
The black parallel posts are slipped onto the
inserted abutments until detectable pressure
is felt. Then use the Locator ® angle measurement
guide to measure the angles of the
individual implant abutments.
Up to an angle of 10° per implant (up to
20° between two implants) three replacement
males can be selected: clear: 22.3 N/
2270 g, pink: 13.4 N/1365 g, and blue:
6.7 N/680 g.
The following replacement males for axial
divergences of 10° - 20° per implant are
available (extended range):
green: 17.8 N/1815 g, and red: 6.7 N/680 g.
With Ø 3.3 mm implants, these males must
not be used!
