Advantages of Docklocs® Attachment Systems

1. Biocompatible ceramic PVD hard coating 
   The coating is an extremely hard zirconium carbonitride layer (ZrCN). It has a high abrasion and wear resistance. In addition to the functional surface properties, the red-golden coloration is impressive. Zirconium surfaces have the advantage of having twice as low plaque affinity as titanium and thus largely preventing inflammatory reactions of the soft tissue. 
   
   
2. Additional scre-in mechanism
   The industry standard .050“/1,25 mm* hexagonal screw-in mechanism simplifies insertion into the dental implant. 
   
   

3. Docklocs® Abutment,     straight	Docklocs® Abutment, 18° angled

   Optimized retention housing 
   The retention housing is provided with additional horizontal grooves for improved resistance to vertical and horizontal movement. The red anodized surface enhances aesthetics and prevents the grey translucency of the surface on thin denture material. 
   
   
4. Abutments with an 18° angulation 
   With these abutments, divergences between implants of up to 65° can be corrected. With the 18° angled abutments, the dentist is able to cover a wide range of clinical implant situations. The angled abutments are available with two connection variants. This allows the position of the implant to be better compensated. 
   
   
5. Replacement males (Matrices) made of high performance plastic 
   

   Example:Indexation 0° and 45°

   The outstanding properties of the replacemrnt males are their very high hardness combined with their very high toughness and dynamic load capacity (number of load cycles). They also have a high resistance to chemicals and lipids (grease) with low tendency to absorb water. These properties make them ideal for applications in direct contact with body fluids, medicine or active ingridients. Moreover, they show outstanding resistance to disinfectants containing alcohol.
   
   
6. All-in-one Packaging 
   There are two different packaging variants. One for the straight abutments and one for the angled 18° abutments. In both cases the ordered abutments is packed with the alignment post, the fitting replacement males, the retention housing with the black processing insert and the block-out ring.  The angled abutments also include the required retaining screw.
