The keynote session featured presentations on the ground-breakingLaser-Lok(R) microchannels, BioHorizons' proprietary surface treatment nowoffered on Tapered Internal, Single-stage and Internal implants. Dr. JackRicci from NYU presented 15 years of in vitro, animal and human studiesconducted at leading universities around the world on thisprecision-engineered surface. Dr. Myron Nevins from Harvard Universitypresented results from his landmark study: Human Histological Evidence of aConnective Tissue Attachment to a Dental Implant.* In this study, Laser-Lokwas shown to attract a physical connective tissue attachment to apredetermined zone on the implant while inhibiting epithelial downgrowth andpreserving coronal bone levels. Dr. Nevins also showed Laser-Lok implantsplaced up to 9-years post-op with little to no bone loss.
