LOCATOR R-Tx

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the LOCATOR R-Tx® Removable Attachment System, an evolution of the LOCATOR® system, known for its simplicity, strength, and improved design. It highlights the system's practical benefits, including enhanced geometry, aesthetic improvements, and increased pivoting capability.

Design and Material Enhancements
The LOCATOR R-Tx® features an all-in-one packaging and a new hex drive mechanism for ease of use. The DuraTec™ Titanium Carbon Nitride Coating offers increased strength, wear resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The system's dual retentive surfaces and narrower coronal geometry facilitate easier seating of overdentures.

Pivoting Technology
The system allows for a 60° pivot between implants, eliminating the need for pre-angled abutments. This is achieved through modifications to the Denture Attachment Housing, which now pivots up to 30° over the seated Nylon Retention Inserts.

Practical Design Features
The attachment housing design includes horizontal grooves and flats to resist movement, and a channel to enhance pivot range. The pink anodization improves aesthetics, while the new retention insert design resists edge deformation and simplifies retention levels.

Packaging and Tools
The system comes in a custom all-in-one vial, containing all necessary components. A dual-sided tool facilitates easy insertion and removal of retention inserts, enhancing clinician convenience.

Comparison with Legacy LOCATOR®
The document compares the new LOCATOR R-Tx® with the legacy system, highlighting improvements in coating, drive mechanism, patient seating, attachment engagement, angle correction, and packaging.

Conclusion
Zest Dental Solutions emphasizes its commitment to innovation in overdenture technology, aiming to improve patient satisfaction and clinician confidence. The LOCATOR R-Tx® is presented as a superior alternative to the original LOCATOR, offering enhanced functionality and aesthetics.
