Introducing A New Implant Designed Exclusively for Overdentures

The LOCATOR Overdenture Implant System by ZEST Anchors

Until now, choosing a narrow diameter implant often meant a sacrifice in attachment performance and ultimately patient satisfaction. Introducing the LOCATOR Overdenture Implant System (LODI) featuring narrow diameter implants with the world's leading overdenture attachment from the originators of the trusted LOCATOR Attachment, ZEST Anchors. LODI offers a less invasive, predictable and durable implant-retained overdenture for patients requiring an effective, cost conscious technique for securing their denture.

The LOCATOR Overdenture Implant System incorporates a unique two-piece coronal design not found with O-Ball mini implants; a critical feature that optimizes patient satisfaction for two primary reasons. One is that the system provides flexibility for simple attachment interchangeability and replacement should wear occur throughout time. Second, LOCATOR's significantly reduced vertical height increases patient comfort when the denture is removed and provides increased denture strength.

The LODI System is comprised of 2.4- and 2.9-millimeter diameter endosseous dental implants (available in 10, 12 and 14 millimeter lengths) with a detachable LOCATOR Attachment that is available in a 2.5- and 4-millimeter cuff height. The LOCATOR Attachment is seated after implant placement, making case planning, implant surgery and the restorative process easier.

LODI is manufactured from the strongest Titanium Alloy available and features a proven RBM roughened surface on the entire length of the implant. LODI also incorporates a self-tapping design for ease of implant insertion, as well as an aggressive thread design that widens at the coronal portion, providing primary stability when immediate loading may be indicated. All LODI osteotomy preparation instruments are designed to be intuitive, including easily identifiable laser-etched depth markings for clear visibility when drilling and placing implants. This is a key benefit when used with a flapless technique for better patient comfort.

The LOCATOR Attachment, included with the LOCATOR Overdenture Implant package, provides all of the superior benefits known worldwide including its patented pivot technology, customizable levels of retention and draw correction of divergent implants up to 40 degrees.

The LODI system now allows you to treat patients with the minimum standard of care1 of an implant supported overdenture, at a reduced cost and with greater satisfaction. LODI will be available in the winter of 2012.
