legacy dental implants
Legacy dental implant systems
BioHorizons dental implants have a very high success rate and provide years of support to restored prosthetic solutions. Legacy implants have been retired from production but are supported by official BioHorizons prosthetic parts and components. If a clinician treats a patient with a legacy implant, they can depend on BioHorizons for authentic prosthetics. Using authentic BioHorizons parts will ensure a precision fit between the prosthetic component and implant, avoiding costly component failures that may occur with third-party prosthetics.Learn more about dental implants from BioHorizons.
Tapered Internal (TLR) implants
Tapered Internal dental implants provide excellent primary stability, maximum bone maintenance and soft tissue attachment for optimal esthetics. The Tapered Internal implant achieves these benefits from its anatomically tapered dental implant body, aggressive buttress threads and advanced Laser-Lok surface technology. The deep 1.5mm internal hex connection with a lead-in tapered bevel creates a rigid connection and a stable biologic seal.
Internal dental implants
Internal dental implants provide maximum surface area through the use of its parallel-walled body and square thread design. It is also available with Laser-Lok microchannels to create a physical, connective tissue attachment and long-term crestal bone maintenance.1
Single-stage dental implants
Unlike similar "soft-tissue level" implant designs, the Single-stage dental implant features the BioHorizons power thread with maximum surface area to support the high occlusal forces often seen in the posterior. This gives dentists confidence that their placements will remain secure long-term even with limited ridge height and in softer bone.
External dental implants
The External dental implant, originally known as the Maestro, has performed successfully in every published study since its launch in 1997. The External implant has survival rates from 98.5% to 100% in studies of up to 1,400 implants and a follow up of 10 years.1-10 It has also been shown to achieve bone-to-implant contact levels of 80.6%.11 Clinicians confidently rely on the External implant to achieve consistent, reproducible results necessary to build a successful implantology practice.
Laser-Lok: better science, better implants
Control cellular migration - control esthetic outcomes
Only the Laser-Lok surface has been shown using light microscopy, polarized light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to also be effective for soft tissue attachment. 1,2
"There is no other implant that shows functional orientation of fibers. There is not one. This is the only one. This is so important." 3
