logo 17 • CAMLOG Partner Magazine • March 2018 Over the past decades, the LOCATOR® Removable Attachment System has experienced tremendous growth and become a market leader in the field of implant-supported prosthesis anchoring systems. It is trusted equally by dental manufacturers, users, and patients. Zest Dental Solutions®, the manufacturer of prosthesis anchorage systems, has improved the standard LOCATOR® abutment.The new abutment, named Locator R-Tx®, is based on the same type of treatment, with a different design, functional advances, and optimized esthetics. Adding all the changes together, this results in simplified product application, greater patient satisfaction, and increased confidence. The new definition of strength – DuraTec™ Composed of several layers of titanium nitride and titanium carbonitride, the patent-pending DuraTecTM coating provides a harder, more abrasion-resistant surface. It is over 30% harder, has an abrasion resistance that is more than 25% higher, and reduces surface roughness by almost 65% compared to the titanium nitride coating of the standard LOCATOR® system. Optimization of the LOCATOR R-Tx® is completed by an esthetic gingiva shade, which at the same time ensures adequate visibility for the patient. This results in a revolutionary combination that is not available in this form with any other abutment on the market. The new screw mechanism The Locator R-Tx® abutments are inserted with a hexagon screwdriver (industrial standard 0.05"/1.25 mm* hexagon). The central hexagon reduces the area on which food residues and plaque could accumulate. The new pivot technology and the new coronal shape The nylon replacement males are pivoted within the die housing. The patented modifications, a channel on the inside of the matrix housing, allow the die housing to pivot up to 30 degrees above the nylon replacement males. Furthermore, the narrower coronal design of the R-Tx® abutments can compensate for maximum divergences or convergences of up to 60 degrees between the implants. The pivoting technology enables patients to insert their prostheses easily and prevent damage to individual components. The cone-like abutment, designed with a narrower, wedge-like shape with two retention rings, enables the patient to align the prosthesis more easily and insert it precisely. PRODUCTS 30 In October 2017, CAMLOG introduced the next generation of the Locator® anchoring system for removable implant-supported prostheses. The LOCATOR R-Tx® abutments are available in different gingival heights for the CAMLOG®, CONELOG®, and iSy® Implant Systems.
