Attachment system for overdentures

The Zest Locator self-aligning attachment system for implant and root retained overdentures can help ease difficulties from ill-fitting dentures, according to Haley Ltd. It is designed to

reduce the height of abutment restorations on all brands of endosseous implants. With a total attachment height (male plus female) of only 317mm for an externally hexed implant, the Locator

saves a minimum of 168mm to 305mm of inter-occlusal space compared with other implant overdenture attachments. To facilitate greater flexibility, each set of Locator attachments contains a

choice of three colour coded removable nylon caps. The original white cap has a strong 50 pound holding force, the pink cap a medium 30 pound retention and the blue cap a light 15 pound

retention. They enable the dentist to select the right choice of strong, medium or light retention according to the needs of the patient. READER RESPONSE NUMBER 59 RIGHTS AND PERMISSIONS
