BioHorizons Launches Tapered Pro Conical Implants

BioHorizons recently announced the launch of Tapered Pro Conical implants, the company’s first line of dental implants featuring a deep conical connection.

The new implants are based on the macro design of the Tapered Pro implant line, featuring the patented CONELONG connection that is reportedly suited for efficient surgical procedures for immediate implant cases ranging from single tooth replacements to full arch restorations.

The Tapered Pro Conical implants feature a tapered body design with a thread design that provides immediate stability, according to a press release. They feature self-tapping helical cutting flutes that can help control the placement of the implants. The implants are coordinated with a new surgical kit that combines free-hand and keyless guided surgical approaches. The system maintains efficiency and simplicity with only 2 prosthetic platforms to choose from.

“Backed by more than 30 years of research, Tapered Pro Conical’s unique Laser-Lok microchannels create a connective tissue attachment and retain crestal bone, thus allowing better control of clinical and esthetic outcomes,” says BioHorizons President and CEO Steve Boggan in the press release. “We recognize the importance of immediate and predictable solutions for implant therapy, and are pleased to deliver enhanced functionality with this new implant.”

According to the press release the new implants fit into BioHorizons’ parent company Henry Schein’s broad strategy of investing in technologies that offer benefits to both patients and practices.
