3. Final File Options
Choose the final fit workflow that best aligns with your clinical preference. Both options provide a secure, passive fit with proper retention and straightforward patient care.
Option 1 - Chairside Pickup
Place AvaMax LOCATOR FIXED® with LOCATOR recesses and position the gold LOCATOR FIXED housings with processing inserts.
Verify clearance and passive seating. Perform the chairside pickup according to the Zest protocol.
Verify the completed pickup, fit, and occlusion before proceeding to final LOCATOR FIXED inserts.
Option 2 - No Chairside Pickup
Place the AvaMax LOCATOR FIXED with the gold housings already processed into it and the processing inserts in place.
Confirm passive fit, replace processing inserts with the appropriate LOCATOR FIXED retention inserts, verify retention, and provide patient care instructions.
