dualock-abutments

The DuaLock^® abutments are available for all common implant systems with external and internal connections.
Other types can be produced on demand.
The external design assures full compatibility with the Locator’s abutments used for such solutions. This means DuaLock^® Overdenture System is 100% compatible with Zest LOCATOR^®.
Abutment Straight available in 6 different gingival heights: from 1 to 6 mm.
Abutment Angled with angulation 15º available in 2 different gingival heights : 1.5 and 3.0 mm.
The screw head is hexagonal 1.25 mm.
The abutments are coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN).
Check our compatibility connections list.

Coping & Positioner

All DuaLock^® abutments include a new coping and positioner system for easy insertion of the abutment to implant, facilitating threading and manipulation by hand.

Exactness

Apply the indicated torque to the abutment with the torque tool (TORQDS).
Our DuaLock^® abutments are compatible with Zest LOCATOR® instruments, inserts & housings.

DuaLock^® Retention Z

New design

New retention design, improved design resists edge deformation.

The DuaLock^® Retention Z are manufactured in PEEK, is a highperformance polymer offers good wear resistance, have better physical properties and is easier to sanitize than Nylon.

Advantages

The new design without central element (considerable advantage with regard to damage) for better clinical functionality and increased wearing comfort and ease of cleaning.
The Retention Z male are machined in a CNC machine and therefore the precision is maximum, unlike Nylon males is injected and is the cause of the deformations.
There are available 3 different retention colours & forces:

The Metal Housing is used for Retention Z & Retention N.
This advantage allows you to change the worn Nylon
male for our new Z male on the denture.

Studies: PEEK, Material of the Future

Internal and independent external (1) studies show good resistence compared to conventional solutions.

Satisfaction

The DuaLock® Retention Z represents flexibility for the clinician and comfort for the patient. Clearly less wear and tear as well as servicing expense at the retention inserts.

Tool

The DuaLock® Tool designed to insert and remove the Retention Z from the Metal Housing.
MORE IMPORTANT
Use ONLY our tool (UNIVERDS) for Retentions Z, do not use another tool.
Assembly and disassembly of the Retention Z inserts.

Assembly

To insert the retention Z place it on top of the metal housing, face up and press hard to insert into the housing metal straight and parallel until it clicks. The Retention Z insert locks into place on the punch tangibly and audibly.

Disassembly

To insert the retention Z place it on top of the metal housing, face up and press hard to insert into the housing metal straight and parallel until it clicks. The Retention Z insert locks into place on the punch tangibly and audibly.

Dualock® Retention N

100% Compatibility

The DuaLock® Retention N male are manufactured in Nylon.
Our Nylon male are 100% compatible with Zest LOCATOR®.
There are available differents retention colours & forces.

Extended Angled

Extended Angled Retention allows a insertion with up to 40° total divergence.
