LOW-PROFILE LOCK ABUTMENTS
LOCK-ABUTMENTS were designed for use with overdentures or partial dentures retained in whole or in part by dental implants in the mandible or maxilla. Low-Lock attachment featuring the lowest vertical profile. This new compact design with an internal thread will ensure multiple solutions for the most complex treatment plans including those which demonstrate divergent implants.
The low-lock innovative design offers the best aesthetic results and is the smallest attachment available in the market today.
The high degree of elastic quality designed into each retentive female cap allows for a greater contact zone interface between the cap lining and male component. Each cap assures superior stability and long-term functionality. Low-Lock retention caps are available in a variety of color-coded retention levels. The Low-Lock profile gives optimum insertion and controlled distribution of the masticatory forces on tissue preventing overstress on the implant abutments, in both cases parallelism between the implants or in cases where the divergence may reach 30 degrees.
Due to the tolerance of the Low-Lock design, together with the elasticity of the retentive cap in excess of these divergence degrees, the optimal solution is the castable Low-Lock when U is connected to the UCL and the implant system allows the technician to correct any kind of divergence achieving the desired direction.
