CONELOG® Implant System Prosthetic Restorations - Camlog

RELINING OF A LOCATOR ® -RETAINED
FULL DENTURE
The colored replacement males are removed from the titanium housings in
the denture and replaced by black processing replacement males using the
Locator ® instrument. See also «Exchange the replacement males in an existing
full denture» on page 144.
The processing replacement males fix and hold the denture during the relining
impression on the CONELOG ® Locator ® abutments.
The impression is taken with the denture in the conventional manner. Pay
attention to the proper seating of the denture. Impression material must
not get into the processing replacement males. After the impression is taken
successfully, the black processing replacement males remain in the titanium
housings of the denture. The relining impression is handed over to the dental
laboratory.
In the dental laboratory, the respective Locator ® analogs are inserted in the
black processing replacement males for cast fabrication (see also «Cast fabrication»
on page 142).
The cast is then fabricated and the relining impression is secured in the conventional
manner.
NOTE
We recommend replacing the existing titanium housings in the denture.
CONELOG ® IMPLANT SYSTEM
PROSTHETIC RESTORATIONS
After opening the secured relining impression and removing of the impression
from the cast, the black processing replacement males incl. the titanium
housings are removed from the denture. The white block out spacers
are placed over the functional areas of the Locator ® analogs on the cast.
This prevents acrylic from getting into the titanium housings.
A titanium housing with the black processing replacement male is placed
on each analog over the previously placed block out spacer until the pressure
point is reached. The titanium housing is attached by the black processing
replacement male and the resilience determined.

processing replacement male
NOTE
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 when finishing!
The denture is prepared for the relining and ground out in the area of the
Locator ® titanium housings. The titanium housings must not come into contact
with the prosthesis when assembling the secured impression with the
cast. The prosthesis is relined in the conventional manner.
After trimming and polishing, the black processing replacement males are
removed and replaced by corresponding colored replacement males as
described in «Integration of the colored replacement males « on page 141.
The finished prosthesis is inserted and the occlusion checked.
