Transcript of Key Differences Between LOCATOR® vs. GPS™ vs Locator .pdf · • LOCATOR® is designed to pivot...
• LOCATOR® is designed to pivot and this feature provides key performance benefits for the pa>ent – the GPS™ is designed not to pivot.
• The GPS™ does come with a limited “one size fits all” Processing Kit. Note: it has just the 4.5lb. male. This will usually be too much reten>on, especially to start, and requires a separate purchase. ONen this is not known un>l the chairside evalua>on with the pa>ent.
• The “clinician chosen” LOCATOR® Processing Kits allow for chairside customiza>on of reten>on level and angle compensa>on.
• LOCATOR’s design allows for compensa>on with divergent implants. Because the GPS™ cap does not pivot, the GPS™ requires a separate abutment/aRachment to handle divergent implants. This angled abutment will add height to the restora>on and the “knuckle’s” protrusion could make the poten>al use of an exis>ng denture impossible to consider.

GPS™ Secondary Angled Abutment Required for
Path of Insertion on Angulated Implants
Patented Pivoting Feature Allows Path of Insertion on
Angulated Implants
The “Knuckle” to Correct the Angle Increases Vertical
Height and the Potential for a
Buccal or Lingual Protrusion in the
Denture
No Angled Abutment and Varying Cuff
Heights Maintains Low Vertical Height
