The retentive forces of the locator attachment system at different angulations.
The European journal of prosthodontics and restorative dentistry, 2013 The change of retentive force of three types of Locator inserts when the implant analogue was positioned perpendicular to horizontal, 5 degrees and 10 degrees to perpendicular after 4,200 cycles in vitro was measured using an EnduraTech fatigue testing machine lubricated with artificial saliva.
