Who is a candidate for a LOCATOR Overdenture, and what are its clinical benefits?

The LOCATOR system is designed to expand who can be treated with implants. It is well suited to patients previously considered unsuitable for implant therapy because of bone limitations or medical contraindications, as well as patients with financial constraints who still want a significant improvement over a conventional denture.

Benefit What it means for the case
Expanded patient pool Treats patients ruled out for implant therapy due to bone limitations or medical contraindications
Simplified surgical protocol Narrow-diameter implants reduce osteotomy trauma and allow placement in confined spaces
Forgiving placement tolerance Pivoting attachments compensate for implant angulation differences up to 40 degrees
Cost-effective treatment Requires fewer implants than fixed solutions while still greatly improving function over a conventional denture
Patient-friendly maintenance Removable design allows for good hygiene and easy component replacement
Versatile retention options Multiple insert levels allow retention to be adjusted progressively to the patient's needs
Preserved bone health Implant stimulation helps maintain alveolar bone compared with a conventional denture
