A leader in dental implant prosthetics, Preat Corporation announced the immediate availability of PreatLoc, a new proprietary overdenture attachment system. PreatLoc combines workflow compatibility, retention reliability and precision performance to advance care for overdenture patients.
The PreatLoc system offers a seamless transition, providing compatibility with the leading overdenture attachment system. Marking a new, affordable treatment alternative for overdenture cases, PreatLoc is priced up to 33 per cent less than leading attachment systems.
“We are proud to introduce an overdenture attachment system that combines reliability, compatibility and ease of use at a competitive price,” said Ruben Arebalo, General Manager at Preat. “We understand the economic challenges that labs, practices and patients face, and we are committed to providing technical expertise and a high-quality product to help our partners achieve long-term success.”
Preat combines its renowned technical support and exceptional customer care with an overdenture system designed for compatibility, reliable retention and cost-effectiveness.
Key benefits of the PreatLoc system include:
Reliability
Engineered for reliability, PreatLoc inserts performed better than the leading overdenture attachment system’s inserts after the first 10 cycles, when most retention loss occurs. In standardised internal testing over 5,000 cycles, PreatLoc inserts demonstrated reliable and long-lasting retention, with a standard pivot accommodating up to 20° divergence and an extended pivot up to 40° divergence.
Designed for comfort and cleanliness with surface technology that prioritises restoration longevity, the zirconium nitride (ZrN) surface coating supports long-term tissue health by reducing biofilm, plaque adhesion and inflammation. The biocompatible ZrN surface has shown greater bacterial resistance than titanium nitride (TiN).
Easy to Use
PreatLoc is made to fit major implant systems, compatible with 18 implant systems and 35 connections. Its compatibility with the leading overdenture system enables seamless integration into current workflows with no new training and no new tooling required. With consistent nylon colour-coding, no changes in workflow are needed to replace worn inserts and abutments with PreatLoc.
