The LOCATOR Male pivots in its permanent Denture Cap for a genuine resilient connection of the prosthesis without any resulting loss of retention. The male remains in static contact with the female socket while the Denture Cap has a full range of rotational movement. The self-aligning feature of the LOCATOR Attachment allows patients to easily seat their overdentures without the need for accurate alignment, and without causing damage to the attachment components.

The LOCATOR Male pivots in its permanent Denture Cap for a genuine resilient connection of the prosthesis without any resulting loss of retention. The male remains in static contact with the female socket while the Denture Cap has a full range of rotational movement.

The self-aligning feature of the LOCATOR Attachment allows patients to easily seat their overdentures without the need for accurate alignment, and without causing damage to the attachment components.

Designed to reduce the height of attachment and abutment on all brands of endosseous implants, the LOCATOR Attachment has a total attachment height of only 3.17 mm (male plus 1 mm collar abutment) for an externally hexed implant, saving interocclusal space compared to other implant overdenture attachments.

With twice the retention surface area of other attachments, the LOCATOR Attachment’s Dual Retention innovation provides inside and outside retention ensuring long-lasting performance.

Extended range males allow clinicians to restore a non-parallel implant with up to 20° of angulation. This calculates to an extensive 40° of divergence between two implants.
