HYBRID RESTORATIONS WITH THE <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® IMPLANT SYSTEM<br />

LOCATOR ®<br />

ANCHORING SYSTEM<br />

RELINING OF A LOCATOR ® -RETAINED<br />

FULL DENTURE<br />

The colored replacement males are removed from <strong>the</strong> titanium housings in<br />

<strong>the</strong> denture and replaced by black processing replacement males using <strong>the</strong><br />

Locator ® instrument. See also "Exchange <strong>the</strong> replacement males in an existing<br />

full denture" on page 61.<br />

The processing replacement males fix and hold <strong>the</strong> denture during <strong>the</strong><br />

relining impression on <strong>the</strong> <strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® Locator ® abutments.<br />

The impression is taken <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> denture in <strong>the</strong> conventional manner. Pay<br />

attention to <strong>the</strong> proper seating of <strong>the</strong> denture. Impression material must<br />

not get into <strong>the</strong> processing replacement males. After <strong>the</strong> impression is taken<br />

successfully, <strong>the</strong> black processing replacement males remain in <strong>the</strong> titanium<br />

housings of <strong>the</strong> denture. The relining impression is handed over to <strong>the</strong><br />

dental laboratory.<br />

NOTE<br />

To select <strong>the</strong> matching Locator ® analogs for cast fabrication, <strong>the</strong> dental<br />

laboratory must be informed about <strong>the</strong> diameter of <strong>the</strong> existing<br />

<strong>CAMLOG</strong> ® Locator ® abutments.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> dental laboratory, <strong>the</strong> respective Locator ® analogs are inserted in <strong>the</strong><br />

black processing replacement males for cast fabrication (see also "Cast<br />

fabrication" on page 57).<br />

The cast is <strong>the</strong>n fabricated and <strong>the</strong> relining impression is secured in <strong>the</strong><br />

conventional manner.<br />

NOTE<br />

We recommend replacing <strong>the</strong> existing titanium housings in <strong>the</strong> denture.<br />

After opening <strong>the</strong> secured relining impression and removing of <strong>the</strong> impression<br />

from <strong>the</strong> cast, <strong>the</strong> black processing replacement males incl. <strong>the</strong> titanium<br />

housings are removed from <strong>the</strong> denture. The white block out spacers<br />

are placed over <strong>the</strong> functional areas of <strong>the</strong> Locator ® analogs on <strong>the</strong> cast.<br />

This prevents acrylic from getting into <strong>the</strong> titanium housings.<br />

A titanium housing <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> black processing replacement male is placed<br />

on each analog over <strong>the</strong> previously placed block out spacer until <strong>the</strong> pressure<br />

point is reached. The titanium housing is attached by <strong>the</strong> black processing<br />

replacement males and <strong>the</strong> resilience determined.<br />

Titanium housing <strong>with</strong> black<br />

processing replacement males<br />

NOTE<br />

Undercuts between <strong>the</strong> titanium housings and <strong>the</strong> surrounding tissue<br />

not covered by <strong>the</strong> block out spacers must be blocked out. Acrylic must<br />

not get into <strong>the</strong> titanium housings when finishing!<br />

The denture is prepared for <strong>the</strong> relining and ground out in <strong>the</strong> area of <strong>the</strong><br />

Locator ® titanium housings. The titanium housings must not come into<br />

contact <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> pros<strong>the</strong>sis when assembling <strong>the</strong> secured impression <strong>with</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> cast. The pros<strong>the</strong>sis is relined in <strong>the</strong> conventional manner.<br />

After trimming and polishing, <strong>the</strong> black processing replacement males are<br />

removed and replaced by corresponding colored replacement males as<br />

described in "Integration of <strong>the</strong> colored replacement males" on page 58.<br />

The finished pros<strong>the</strong>sis is inserted and <strong>the</strong> occlusion checked.
