Tapered Short implants
Now available in 6mm and 7.5mm lengths, offering a solution for cases with limited vertical bone height and minimizing the need for bone grafting.1 The implant design features an aggressive thread profile and tapered body for primary stability, even in compromised situations.
A platform switched, dual-affinity, Laser-Lok® surface offers crestal bone retention and a connective tissue attachment for flexible placement in uneven ridges.
Features
Laser-Lok microchannels
Precision engineered Laser-Lok collar shown to promote oblique connective tissue attachment, much like a natural tooth.
optimized threadform
Anatomically tapered implant body has proprietary reverse buttress threads with wide flat leading edges for increased stability.
restorative ease
45° conical internal hex connection is color-coded for quick identification and component matching.
color-coded platforms
Color-coded platform and prosthetics increase safety and makes restorative procedures fast and accurate.

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. 3,4
"There is no other implant that shows functional orientation of fibers. There is not one. This is the only one. This is so important." 5
