LOCATOR F-Tx- FIXED ATTACHMENT SYSTEM BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF IMPLANT FAILURE FIXED-HYBRID EMERGENCY! Why Redo When You Can Rescue? ZEST DENTALSOLUTIONS’

FIXED-HYBRID FAILURES HAPPEN When a failing implant needs to be replaced in a fixed-hybrid case, it often leads to a prosthesis emergency. Replacing the prosthesis was the only option as it was virtually impossible for the existing prosthesis to seat passively in the altered position of the screw-retained components at the replacement implant site. UNTIL NOW! Introducing the LOCATOR F-Tx® Fixed Attachment System to rescue a fixed-hybrid emergency. WITH LOCATOR F-Tx, YOU CAN EASILY RESCUE THE PROSTHESIS. The LOCATOR F-Tx Fixed Attachment System is the ONLY immediate treatment solution...

LOCATOR F-Tx®: THE ONLY IMMEDIATE SOLUTION FOR RESCUING A FIXED-HYBRID PROSTHESIS! Rescue the case in one patient visit and the patient could go home with their fixed prosthesis that same day: LOCATOR F-Tx incorporates a unique ball and socket design with a spherical Abutment, PEEK Retention Ball and Denture Attachment Housing (DAH). Once securely snapped into place, the DAH can rotate in any direction on the Abutment and easily align into the correct position. Chairside pick-up of the DAH, within a recess created in the prosthesis, ensures a passive fit to immediately rescue the existing...

RESCUING A FIXED FULL-ARCH PROSTHESIS AFTER IMPLANT FAILURE Case Presentation By: Robert A. del Castillo, DMD The patient presented for delivery of a final screw-retained zirconia bridge. During the appointment, the patient expressed feeling some pain in the lower right side. While unscrewing the interim screw-retained PMMA prosthesis, all screws were successfully removed except for the posterior right side. Further steps indicated that the implant was not integrated as it came out attached to the interim prosthesis (figure 1). The site was cleaned and prepared to receive a longer and wider...

IMPLANT FAILURE RESULTS IN A NEWLY PLACED IMPLANT, NOT A NEW PROSTHESIS Case Presentation By: Alan M. Meltzer, DMD In 2011, the patient’s maxillary teeth were extracted, five implants were placed, and the patient was given a definitive fixed-hybrid prosthesis. The patient was seen in 2016 for diagnosis and treatment of a failing fixed-hybrid prosthesis. The prosthesis was removed, revealing radiographic and clinical evidence of a failed implant (figure 1). The implant was explanted and a wider diameter implant was immediately inserted into the explanted site. A healing abutment was placed...

LOCATOR F-Tx® FIXED ATTACHMENT SYSTEM NO SCREWS. NO CEMENT. NO COMPROMISES. More Than A Rescue Solution! LOCATOR F-Tx is more than a rescue solution for a fixed-hybrid emergency, it is also an entirely new way to think about fixed full-arch restorations. Fixed for the patient, yet easily removed by the clinician, LOCATOR F-Tx is a simplified, time saving solution for fixed full-arch restorations with no compromise to prosthesis strength or esthetics. SIMPLICITY: Novel “snap-in” Attachment works like a ball and socket allowing the Denture Attachment Housing to securely snap into place....
