BioHorizons.

BioHorizons Implant Systems Inc. lists global headquarters at 2300 Riverchase Center, Birmingham, Alabama 35244, with phones 888-246-8338 and 205-967-7880. The careers page calls BioHorizons a subsidiary of Henry Schein, Inc. An MDSAP certificate on the site covers that address for administration and research and a second Birmingham building at 2200 Riverchase Center for manufacturing, warehouse, and shipping.

The product story on the current site is the tapered family plus Laser-Lok. Tapered Internal is the flagship page: anatomically tapered body, buttress threads, color-coded conical internal hex, mount-free delivery. The family page says one kit places diameters from 3.0 to 5.8 mm. That is a surgical convenience claim. It does not mean one abutment fits every platform. Platform diameters are printed separately from body diameters.

Laser-Lok is the collar treatment. BioHorizons says cell-sized channels are laser-machined to attract a physical connective-tissue attachment and points to published histology. Read those papers if the soft-tissue claim is why you are switching systems. The marketing line that no other implant shows oriented fibers is a quotation on their page, not a finding from this profile.

Legacy parallel-wall implants from 1997 are still documented. A practice restoring older BioHorizons cases needs the legacy prosthetic chart, not only the current tapered catalog. Pro Zygoma is named for full-arch cases with limited bone. Confirm availability in your market. The tapered page says not every implant is stocked in every country.

BioHorizons suits a surgical practice that wants one tapered kit across a wide diameter range and a restoring dentist who will stock the matching hex platforms. The implant motor guide is the console. The bone-grafting guide is separate. BioHorizons sells biologics in its careers description, but this profile does not name a graft SKU the fetched product pages did not spell out.

General dentists placing straightforward tapered cases and specialists placing short or zygomatic fixtures are both in the family list. They are not the same surgery. Tapered Short and Pro Zygoma have their own pages.

Labs need the platform color and the internal-hex drawing. A 3.0 mm platform and a 5.7 mm platform do not share a crown abutment.

Straumann, Nobel Biocare, ZimVie, and MegaGen are other implant brands. Laser-Lok is BioHorizons' collar. It does not transfer to another company's implant. Henry Schein ownership does not make a Schein private-label bur into a BioHorizons abutment.

Tapered Internal uses an internal hex. Tapered Pro Conical is listed as its own body. Read the connection on the page for the implant you will place. "Tapered" is a body shape, not one prosthetic drawer.

The single-kit claim is compared with companies that sell a kit per connection. If you place only two diameters, you still should not mix drills from another system into the BioHorizons cassette.

Order the kit that matches the tapered family you will actually place, then the prosthetic components by platform color. Mount-free packaging is what the Tapered Internal page lists. Confirm guided-surgery sleeves separately.

Warranty was not printed on the product pages reviewed. Ask Birmingham for the implant warranty, the drill replacement policy, and what happens to a sterile implant if the blister is opened and not placed. Phone 888-246-8338.

Training is available through representatives. The contact page uses a ZIP-code lookup for a U.S. rep. Nothing reviewed here says a course is mandatory before the first order. Still sit with the kit before the first surgery.
