Novaloc® Retention Inserts
The Novaloc® matrix system allows for a prosthetic insertion of up to
+/- 20° divergence, meaning 40° between two Novaloc® Abutments.
Note:
It is recommended to use the light retention force first (white). In
case it feels too loose for the patient, exchange with inserts with a
higher retention force.
Novaloc® Mounting Collar
The Mounting Collar blocks out the area surrounding the abutment,
preventing that resin or a bonding agent flows into the Matrix Hous-
ing and imbedding the abutment.
Novaloc® Matrix Housing, PEEK
The neutral-colored PEEK Matrix Housing is used for extremely labi-
al or buccal implant positions preventing grey irritation coming from
a titanium Matrix Housing.
Novaloc® Matrix Housing with attachment option
This Matrix Housing offers an extended attachment option. It is
used for low-lying abutment heights or in situations requiring more
retention. The attachment may be shortened according the required
height.
Novaloc® Mounting Insert
The Novaloc® Mounting Insert protects the interior of the Novaloc®
Matrix Housing and keeps it in place during processing. Further-
more, it also prevents any resin or bonding agents of entering into
the Novaloc® Matrix Housing during fixation.
Novaloc® Processing Spacer
The Novaloc® Processing Spacer is a placeholder for the Novaloc®
Matrix Housing. It is used for the model-cast, cast metal-reinforced
denture or if the Novaloc® Matrix Housing shall be polymerized into
the overdenture chair-side.
