Abstract & Summary:

Restoring patients with full-arch fixed restorations requires careful planning and execution of clinical procedures followed by a detailed understanding of the appropriate prosthetic material employed. LOCATOR FIXED is a paradigm shift in full-arch implantology because it utilizes a snap-in housing and insert to securely attach the prosthesis to LOCATOR Abutments. Because there is no screw-channel in combination with the unique design of LOCATOR FIXED, clinicians and technicians can employ techniques to minimize surgical invasiveness, minimize complexity of clinical and technical procedures, simplifying long-term maintenance, and minimizing the number of clinical visits while performing the procedure.

To ensure best practices for LOCATOR FIXED prosthetics, this whitepaper aims to describe material properties for the restorative choices employed for LOCATOR FIXED. Additionally, measurable testing parameters evaluating prosthetic materials, design of the prosthesis, cantilever lengths, and luting protocols to attach Housings to the prosthesis will be discussed.
