LOCATOR Implant Attachment System

We have attached a link on how to select the height of the abutments here.

  1. Identify the system and diameter of each implant. Remove the healing abutments.

  2. Using a periodontal probe, measure the height of the gingiva at the highest point and select the cuff height of the LOCATOR Abutment that corresponds to that measurement. If it is 2mm, choose a 2mm cuff height. An additional 1.5mm of Abutment height will extend above the gingiva to accommodate for the Denture Cap.

  3. Use the Angle Measurement Guide to determine the angulation of each implant. Select the LOCATOR Standard Males for implants with 10° of divergence or less; and the LOCATOR Extended Range Males for implants with greater than 10° and less than 20° of divergence.
