What is the maximum divergence between two implants for LOCATOR legacy standard range inserts, extended range inserts?
Standard range inserts have a total of 20 degrees between two implants. Extended range inserts have a total of 40 degrees between two implants.
What if the LOCATOR inserts are starting to discolor? What can cause this?
This can likely be a chemical discoloration problem which is the result of improper cleaning. Avoid using overnight cleaning solutions that are not made for the LOCATOR system. Recommend replacing the retention inserts.
I like the LOCATOR R-Tx system but they seem to be too loose or move too much compared to legacy LOCATOR's. Are there any recommendations?
LOCATOR R-Tx has a limited range option that can work in some situations with a total divergence of 10 degrees between two implants. The LOCATOR R-Tx standard range inserts have 60 total degree divergence between two implants which is higher than the standard legacy LOCATOR divergence of only 20, because of this the R-Tx standard range inserts can result in the restorations ability to become too mobile.
How frequent should LOCATOR inserts be replaced?
LOCATOR inserts should be replaces on average every year. This range may vary from 6 months to 2 years depending on the patients habits and many other factors.
