Description:

The IMP 24485 Locator Abutment Replica is a precision-milled laboratory analog designed to replicate the exact dimensions, platform interface, and geometry of a Locator abutment. Engineered for use in both dental laboratory and chairside workflows, this replica enables clinicians and technicians to fabricate implant-retained overdentures with high accuracy—without requiring the intraoral abutment to be present.
Fabricated from high-grade stainless steel, the replica offers exceptional dimensional stability and long-term durability under routine laboratory handling. It is inserted into the implant analog within a working model to simulate the three-dimensional position and angulation of the actual Locator abutment placed in the patient’s mouth. This allows for reliable processing of Locator housings and nylon retention inserts within the denture base, ensuring that the final prosthesis aligns precisely with intraoral implant positions.
The IMP 24485 is universally compatible with standard and extended-range Locator systems and works seamlessly with all Locator processing components, including metal housings, black processing caps, and color-coded nylon inserts. Its use is especially beneficial in edentulous or multi-implant cases, where prosthetic alignment and retention accuracy are critical to long-term comfort and function.
By incorporating the Locator Abutment Replica during the prosthetic fabrication phase, clinicians and lab professionals can verify retention insert seating, evaluate housing placement, and optimize the emergence path of the prosthesis—all before the final intraoral delivery. This reduces the likelihood of prosthetic misfit, minimizes post-insertion adjustment, and supports improved patient satisfaction.
Designed exclusively for extraoral use, the IMP 24485 does not require sterilization. It is fully reusable and can be cleaned using standard laboratory protocols. With its precise engineering and cross-system compatibility, this replica is a valuable addition to any restorative toolkit supporting Locator-based implant prosthetics.
