LOCATOR ® ABUTMENT
CONVERTING AN EXISTING FULL
DENTURE INTO A LOCATOR ® -RETAINED
FULL DENTURE
Locator ® components can also be integrated in an existing full denture. After
final insertion of the CONELOG ® Locator ® abutments in the CONELOG ®
implants (see page 138), the Locator ® impression caps are positioned on
the abutments. Note the proper seating.
The existing prosthesis is then hollow ground in the area of the impression
caps.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The impression caps on the CONELOG ® Locator ® abutments must not
come into contact with the prosthesis when checking the fit in the
mouth.
The impression taking in this case is identical to a relining and is taken using
the hollow ground prosthesis directly over the impression caps. To ensure
that the impression caps remain in the impression, we recommend using
suitable impression material such as polyether and silicone compounds
OPTION: With a small denture base, an impression can also be taken with
the titanium housings with black processing replacement males. The reduced
retention in the impression must be taken into account.

CAST FABRICATION
The Locator ® analogs are placed in the Locator ® impression caps. Pay attention
to the proper seating of the analogs.
The cast is then fabricated with suitable model material.
CONVERTING THE FULL DENTURE
After fabricating the cast, the white block out spacers included in the
Locator ® male processing package are pulled over the functional areas of
the Locator ® analogs to prevent acrylic from getting into the titanium housings.
White block out spacer
The titanium housings with the black processing replacement males are
placed on each analog over the previously placed block out spacer until the
pressure point is reached.
