dental implant prosthetic techniques

BioHorizons offers a broad array of abutments for a wide range of indications and patient conditions including the versatile 3inOne abutment and the convenient Simple Solutions restorative system. Our conical abutment-implant connection and tight machining tolerances create a "wedging effect" that produces a biologic seal. Abutment screw loosening is avoided by the Spiralock^® thread design, the same design used in the orthopedic and aerospace industries.

restoring BioHorizons dental implants with Laser-Lok^® esthetic abutments

Laser-Lok esthetic abutments are used to create natural looking, cement-retained, single- or multiple-unit prostheses in the esthetic zone. The abutment margins are enhanced with the patented Laser-Lok surface technology which has been shown to establish a biologic seal of connective tissue fibers¹⁵ that protects and maintains the crestal bone and reduces pocket depth.^12,27 The following technique describes a one abutment, one time approach which is ideal for establishing and maintaining the biologic seal.
