The establishment of a physical, connective tissue attachment to the Laser-Lok surface has generated an entirely new area of research and development: Laser-Lok applied to abutments. Through this research, the unique Laser-Lok surface has been shown to elicit a biologic response that includes the inhibition of epithelial downgrowth and the attachment of connective tissue.1-9 Laser-Lok abutments can support peri-implant health around implants without Laser-Lok. Multiple pre-clinical and clinical studies support both of these concepts.4-9 Laser-Lok® technology Histology of a Laser-Lok abutment on an RBT implant with a machined collar showing exceptional bone growth at 3 months.5 BioHorizons prosthetics are engineered and manufactured to seat precisely every time. The conical connection includes a small space between the components to guarantee contact of the abutment and implant around the entire perimeter of the prosthetic platform. This design creates a biologic seal and achieves optimal stress transmission, that protects the abutment screw from fracture and loosening.
