Kerator is an overdenture system manufactured by Daekwang IDM, which can be used in a variety of cases and is compatible with all implant systems. Kerator is suitable for maxillary and mandibular dentures as well as partial and mini dentures. It can be used for 4 mm narrow bone widths.
Other advantages include:
- An included plastic carrier provides safer handling of the abutment. The carrier is also useful for checking the alignment angles of the implant fixtures.
- Kerator has the lowest vertical height of all overdenture attachment system available today.
- The dual retention male allows the denture cap to gently pivot in any natural direction during occlusal while providing greater resiliency and preventing it from dislodging.
- The self-aligning design automatically centres the male on the housing attachment prior to engagement, allowing patients to easily seat their overdenture.
- The extended range male allows for insertion of the overdenture with up to 40 degrees of divergence between implants. The 15-degree angled abutments can be used in combination to further extend the allowable divergence.
- The dual undercut design of the Kerator metal housing attachment provides a sturdier retention within the denture acrylic.
