A Literature Review on Locator Attachment for Implant Overdenture
Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science, 2013 The Locator attachment is used widely for implant retained overdenture. It can be used solitary and needs small vertical space. Locator can be applicable for parallel implants and divergent implants. Nylon male cap allow personalized retention for each case.
