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!
7.3 Incorporation of the retention housing The placement of the retention housing (supplied in each laboratory set) can be done either in the dental laboratory or chairside. Tip: A metal cast strengthens the stability of the denture. 7.3.1 Fabrication of a new denture with Locator ® components The Locator ® components are directly incorporated into the new denture during processing. Insert the Locator ® abutments of matched diameters and gingival heights in the manner described in 7.1 "Locator ® abutment insertion" on page 6. 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, and 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. Chairside: Place a Locator ® impression cap on each Locator ® abutment for the functional impression. Make sure that the impression cap is properly seated during the procedure. Use a firm impression material (e.g. polyether or silicone) to ensure that the impression cap will remain securely in the impression. In the dental lab: After the impression is taken, place the analogs (Ø 4.0 mm or Ø 5.0 mm) into the impression caps and fabricate the master cast. After the master cast is finished, place the white block-out spacer (supplied with the male processing package) over the functional areas of the Locator ® analogs to prevent acrylic from penetrating into the retention housing. Mount the retention housings with the black processing replacement male on each analog over the previously inserted block-out spacer until pressure is felt. The black processing replacement male will ensure both secure seating for the retention housing and resilience. Selection of matching analogs Locator ® impression cap Undercuts between the retention housing and surrounding tissue which the blockout spacer does not reach must be blocked out. Do not allow any acrylic to enter the retention housing during processing! The denture can be completed by the conventional technique.
