RX: Patient Removable Bar Sequential RX
The Lock ’n’ Release bar provides a great solution for patients requiring a fixed and sturdy bar, while still being easy to remove.
Custom
The Lock ’n’ Release bar comprises several components. The first one is a correcting angular custom abutment. The abutment can be manufactured with an angle of up to 30° and can fit with the majority of implant systems. The result: a perfect parallel restoration.
Unique attachements
Two of the implants are used to install the ball attachments, which lock the mechanism of the bar in position. Because of the unique design of the attachments, a regular hex screwdriver is not required, which prevents food from getting stuck in.
The cones
The cones are positioned on all the other implants. Because of the simplicity of this type of bar, only three implants are required, which makes this restoration available for more patients. Each cone stabilizes the prosthesis and offers extra support.
Pressing two buttons
Through the mechanism, the bar can be released from the ball attachments by pressing on the two buttons. A housing holds a rubber cylinder that forces each button to come back to its original place and keeps the system locked when in position.
Extra care was taken into the selection of high-quality materials to create a well-designed mechanism that will last for years. A final screw holds all the components together, thus making it easy to replace any parts if needed.
