For tight spaces in the esthetic zone where I normally would have placed a one piece 3.0mm dental implant, BioHorizons now has a two piece Laser Lok 3.0 implant.
BioHorizons two piece with the Laser Lok microchannels. These microchannels in the BioHorizons dental implant are stated to allow a physical connective tissue attachement to the implant.
The 3.0 BioHorizons implant also comes in a one piece for immediate load applications.
I have contacted their sales rep Nick Wernimont to get a few of them to see how they work in my hands. The placement protocol looks simple and straighforward. Look for a post on the BioHorizons One and Two Piece 3.0 dental implants soon. I hope to place them for a maxillary missing lateral incisor.

Does the biohorizons one piece dental implant have the laser lok thread pattern?

Steve, I do not think so. The current one piece I have seen does not have the Laser Lok microgrooves. I hope to talk to one on the BioHorizons reps today and will confirm.
