ANCHORING SYSTEM
The titanium housing is attached by the black processing replacement male
and the resilience of the denture determined.

Titanium housing with black
processing replacement male
CAUTION
Undercuts between the titanium housings and the surrounding tissue
not covered by the block out spacers must be blocked out. Acrylic must
not get into the titanium housings during adaptation!
The titanium housings are then polymerized into the existing full denture
and the denture also relined if necessary.
After trimming and polishing the denture, the black processing replacement
males are removed and replaced by corresponding replacement male as
described in "Integration of the colored replacement males" on page 58.
The finished prosthesis is inserted and the occlusion checked.
CONVERTING AN EXISTING FULL DENTURE
INTO A LOCATOR ® -RETAINED FULL DENTURE
IN THE DENTAL PRACTICE
Locator ® components can also be integrated in an existing full denture in
the dental practice. After final insertion of the CAMLOG ® Locator ® abutments
in the CAMLOG ® implants (see page 55), the white block out spacers
included in the Locator ® male processing packages are pulled over the
functional areas of the CAMLOG ® Locator ® abutments to prevent acrylic
from getting into the titanium housings.
CAUTION
Undercuts between the titanium housings and the surrounding tissue
not covered by the block out spacers must be blocked out. Acrylic must
not get into the titanium housing during adaptation!
WARNING!
During intraoral use, products must be secured in general against aspiration
and swallowing.
The titanium housings with the black processing replacement males are positioned
on each CAMLOG ® Locator ® abutment over the previously placed
block out spacers until the pressure point is reached.
The titanium housings are attached by the black processing replacement
males and the resilience of the denture determined.
The existing full denture is carefully prepared and perforated in the areas of
the titanium housings. The denture must not come into contact during
try-in. Contact with the housings can affect the exact positioning of the
denture in the mouth. Acrylic can pass through the perforations occlusally.
