Abstract

The Locator attachment is used widely for implant retained overdenture. It can be used solitary and needs small vertical space. Locator can be applicable for parallel implants and divergent implants. Nylon male cap allow personalized retention for each case. In this literature review, initial retention force and changes in retention force of various attachments were evaluated. Rotation freedom and stress distribution around the attachment were reviewed. Moreover, patient satisfaction and maintenance care of Locator attachment were described. From all of the researches, it was drawn that Locator attachment can be used successfully and widely in several clinical situations.

Locator 어태치먼트는 임플란트 유지형 피개의치에 널리 사용하는 어태치먼트로 단일 임플란트에 연결하여 사용하는 개별유지장치이다. Locator 어태치먼트는 수직적으로 적은 공간을 필요로 하며, 유지력과 경사에 따른 나일론 선택이 가능한 특징을 가진다. 이 문헌고찰에서는 Locator 어태치먼트를 사용했을 때 초기유지력, 기능력을 재현한 상태의 유지력 변화에 관해 고찰하였다. 또한 회전자유도와 응력분포에 대해 연구한 문헌을 살펴보았으며 Locator에 관한 보철적 합병증과 유지관리를 연구한 다양한 문헌을 정리함으로써 Locator 어태치먼트의 한계와 장점에 관해 살펴볼 것이다.
