How do I measure tissue height for a LOCATOR or LOCATOR R-Tx abutment?
A: 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.
