Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | May - June 2013 T he use of overdenture with locators has become an integral part of prosthetic treatment. An overdenture provides improved chewing efficiency, esthetic, phonetics and comfort for the patients who otherwise are not able to adapt to dentures lower partial or complete dentures. The locator with cercon bar attachment delivers a low attachment profile and super retention with a self-aligning design. Locator over cercon bar attachment is designed to offer ease of insertion and removal, customizable levels of retention, low vertical profile, and exceptional durability. Its central design feature is its ability to pivot, which increases the resiliency and tolerance for the high mastication forces. During seating, while the locator male pivots inside the denture cap, the systems self-aligning design centers the male on the attachment before engaging. This allows the locator to self-align into place. Once seated, the male remains in static contact with the attachment, while the denture cap-which is processed into the overdentures-enables a full range of rotational movement over the male for a resilient connection of the prosthesis. A case for Dr. Abi Naders’ patient was customized by Qualident dental laboratory and showed high satisfactory manners for the patient as well as provided a beautiful appearance instead of the traditional titanium bar.
