The LODI implants are two-piece Locator implants for stabilizing overdentures in a severely atrophied mandible. LODI – THE LOCATOR ® OVERDENTURE IMPLANT SYSTEM FOR STABILIZING OVERDENTURES For many years now, CAMLOG has been distributing the patented Locator ® Abutments by Zest Anchors for the CAMLOG ® , CONELOG ® and iSy ® Implants with great success. The stabilization of overdentures with two or four implants in the mandible is an evidence-based treatment concept. Owing to the progressive atrophy of the mandibular bone in edentulous patients, it is often not possible to insert two-piece implants with a standard diameter without elaborate surgery. This is why many clinicians are looking to a diameter-reduced implant system for minimally invasive treatment. CAMLOG has decided to include the diameter-reduced implants in its portfolio and distributes the LODI implants by Zest Anchors since November 2016. This underlines the good cooperation with Zest Anchors and CAMLOG also benefits from their outstanding experience in the field of overdenture anchorage. The LODI system is a two-piece Locator ® Implant. It is available in two diameters (2.4 and 2.9 mm), two gingival heights (2.5 and 4 mm) and three implant lengths (10, 12 and 14 mm). LODI is supplied as a complete set. This includes an implant, a Locator ® Abutment, a retention housing and various replacement males. The Locator ® Insertion tool is used to screw the Locator ® Abutment to the external implant thread and tightened with 30 Ncm. It can be changed if required. The surgery set is arranged clearly and follows the drill protocol. LODI implants are suitable for immediate restoration. The use of a gingiva punch for minimally invasive insertion of implants reduces the time required for surgical intervention. By expanding our implant lines, we are in essence meeting the demands of our customers and their patients for a cost- efficient treatment option. The fixation of full dentures in a severely atrophied jaw with diameter-reduced implants has a positive effect on the patients' quality of life. The wear comfort also improves speech and esthetics. This in turn, increases the self-esteem and social competence of the patients. Information on the LODI system is available from our sales employees.
