FAQ
Is this compatible with NP or RP platforms?
No. It is designed exclusively for S-Line 3.0 mm implants.
What torque should be applied?
Tighten to 20 Ncm using a 1.25 mm hex driver.
Why choose a ball attachment instead of a locator-type system?
Ball attachments provide resilient retention, simplified maintenance, and reliable long-term function for overdenture cases.
Are replacement caps available?
Yes. Standard plastic caps are compatible for maintenance and retention adjustment.
