Metal Cap for Locator Abutment
Intended Use
The Metal Cap for Locator Abutment (651038, etc.) is intended for use in dental prosthetics to:
- Serve as a matrix housing for nylon retention caps
- Provide secure fixation of removable restorations on osseointegrated implants
- Support stable and reliable overdenture retention
Indications
- Use with locator abutments (651038, etc.)
- Removable implant-supported restorations (overdentures)
- Use in combination with nylon caps (661800, etc.)
Contraindications
- Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to titanium
- Do not use if the component is damaged or deformed
Preparation Before Use
