BioHorizons Implant Systems, Inc. is a North American company producing implants (trademark BioHorizons) and other structures for maxillofacial surgery and dental implantation.

The company was founded in 1994, and commercial production of its products began in 1997.

Despite its insignificant history, the company managed to start producing very reliable and strong dental implants, which are also affordable for many patients.

Types of BioHorizons implants and benefits

Dentists love BioHorizons implants because they are very convenient and easy to work with. All implants, without exception, are supplied with special tools that allow you to quickly and painlessly create a bed in the bone tissue for the patient. In addition, all designs are marked, so that the doctor, even after installing the implant, will be able to navigate its design and accurately select a plug or abutment. This is especially true when installing several implants at the same time.

BioHorizons implants types:

• standard root-shaped implants with screw threads for the classical method of dental implantation;
• small-sized implants for installation in the bed of a newly extracted tooth;
• implants combined with an abutment for an express method of dental implantation.

BioHorizons offers gold abutments to patients, but many are concerned about this because the top of the implant can show through the dental crown, especially on the front teeth. Therefore, BioHorizons implants are ideal for implanting posterior posterior teeth, the main function of which is to withstand heavy chewing loads.

Features of the TeethXpress implantation protocol

The name of the TeethXpress method can be adapted into Russian as “rapid dental restoration.” Indeed, the essence of the protocol is that it refers to methods of immediate restoration.

That is, the patient receives not only implants implanted into the bone - on the day of their installation, the supragingival parts (abutments and dentures) can also be fixed. The patient will also be able to immediately begin chewing with the new teeth. But provided that the new prosthesis was made strictly individually.

If the prosthesis that the patient wore before the implants were installed is used as an orthopedic structure (and such a modification is possible in a modern dental laboratory), then there will be more stringent dietary restrictions. Let's return to this point a little later in the article.

As for the features of the TeethXpress protocol, it involves 2 options - installing 4 or 6 implants on a completely toothless jaw or in case of multiple edentia (if there are not a large number of teeth, but your own teeth are removed at the same time). Four metal “roots” are installed if the patient has mild bone atrophy, and with moderate atrophy, the installation of six implants is indicated. If necessary, implants are implanted slightly at an angle in the lateral areas of the jaw. This ensures a large area of ​​contact with bone tissue. In many ways, this implantation solution is similar to the protocols from the largest manufacturers Nobel Biocare (we are talking about the all-on-4 technique) and Straumann with their Pro Arch TL protocol.

On the day of implantation or 1-2 days after it, multiunit abutments are installed on the implants, then the orthopedic structure is fixed. It is optimal if it is fixed with a screw. This way, the orthopedist will have the opportunity to quickly and without damage remove the prosthesis when it requires relining and correction - this is most often necessary 6-12 months after installation, when the patient’s bite is corrected.

Reviews

Biohorizont implants appeared on the market not so long ago, but quickly became popular among dentists.

Patients leave both positive and negative reviews:

1. “One of the most affordable implants in terms of price. It was installed seven months ago and I don’t feel any discomfort.” Irina.
2. “We installed Biohorizont, I’m very pleased. Good value for money. I got used to the implants quickly, no pain. The implants were placed in two stages.” Natalia.
3. “Biohorizon” is the best option, there are no complaints, they took root without any problems.” Galina.
4. “We installed nine implants on both jaws. At first everything was fine, but then the implant came out of the gum by two millimeters. I’m worried that I’ll have to go to the dentist.” Svetlana.
5. “Mom became allergic to Biohorizon and had to be removed. The annotation states that the material is hypoallergenic. Mom probably has an individual intolerance.” Lydia.

The manufacturer BioHorizons is considered a reliable partner, producing high-quality products that match their price. Implants do not disappoint either the dentists who work with them or the consumers who choose to use them.

Advantages of BioHorizons implants

Let us highlight the following advantages of BioHorizons implants:

• BioHorizons implants have a patented thread design, which allows you to significantly increase the volume of the implant surface (by 154%!), due to which the load on the bone tissue is evenly distributed
• implants are created from titanium alloy, which is four times stronger than chemically pure titanium
• the surface of the implants is treated with a special biocompatible material using the sandblasting method, as a result of which the top layer of the implant becomes rough and the survival rate of the implant increases several times
• a special thread at the junction of the implant and the abutment ensures a reliable fit of the abutment, which eliminates micromobility of the parts

In addition, to maximize the accessibility of dental implantation, a free aesthetic abutment is included with the implant, which significantly reduces the cost of dental implantation for the patient.

Modern dental clinics and centers provide a fairly wide range of services, thanks to which a “Hollywood” smile will become not a dream, but a reality. The ultra-modern DentBerg clinic offers its patients the widest range of services in the field of implantation. The latest technology developments are used by specialists who have extensive experience, high qualifications and an extensive level of knowledge.

Dental implantation is a necessity rather than a luxury or a fad. Numerous diseases lead to loss of teeth. Teeth are not hair; they will not grow back. Therefore, dental clinics come to help in solving such a sensitive problem, offering to install implants. By contacting the DentBerg clinic, you can get professional advice. When you decide to install dental implants, your dentist will offer you the best option for solving such a delicate problem. Dental implantation can be complete or partial, depending on the “gaps” in the patient’s jaw.

Dental implants are an artificial structure that the dentist implants into the patient’s bone-jaw structure. Such structures differ depending on what function is assigned to them, location and, of course, structure.

Endosseous (intraosseous) plate implants are used as an alternative to traditional implants when the bone base is very thin, which makes it impossible to secure a thick screw. The root of a plate implant is a thin plate that the dentist implants into the jaw bone. Thanks to this, artificial teeth are more stable. This dental implantation, the prices of which are lower than other types, is more in demand, but is performed by the same first-class specialists of the dental clinic, and therefore does not lose quality compared to its “sisters”.

Root-shaped or root dental implants are a standard type of threaded or cylindrical screw that serves as the foundation for a dental prosthesis. The threaded screw is screwed into a special recess in the jaw and is characterized by increased stability and strength. Dental implants in the shape of a cylinder have a porous structure, due to which bone and soft tissue grow into its middle and, thus, are securely fixed in the mouth.

Dental implantation also uses subperiosteal implants, which are characterized by sophistication and flexibility, and are similar in their intricate structure to lace. This is due to the fact that the implant is installed on the inner wall of the jaw. The bone is not damaged because subperiosteal implants are implanted under the periosteum. They are used when it is impossible to use another solution.

• Endodontically stabilized dental implants are only used when real teeth are present. They allow you to securely secure a loose tooth.
• Combined or mixed dental implants consist of root and plate implants and allow you to recreate lost teeth.
• Intramucosal dental implants can be compared to buttons that are implanted into the jaw sequentially. First, the lower part is inserted, protruding slightly into the oral cavity, then the upper one is installed, and both are snapped into place to gain greater stability and strength.

Dental implantation is a serious undertaking that requires not only concentrated willpower, but also excellent materials, as well as highly professional personnel. The DentBerg Clinic has the most modern equipment, which allows these operations to be performed quickly and almost painlessly.

The main material for the production of dental implants is titanium. It and its alloys do not cause allergic reactions and have a beneficial effect on wound healing after implantation of artificial teeth.

Disadvantages of Biohorizont systems

The disadvantages of BioHorizons systems include the following factors:

• absence of pure titanium models in the line: since the aluminum-vanadium alloy can still provoke allergic reactions,
• lack of elongated models for zygomatic implantation: preliminary sinus lift may be required,
• lack of a surface with hydrophilic and active chemical properties: premium brands such as Astra Tech, Nobel and Straumann have such surfaces. The coatings are saturated with active fluorine or phosphorus ions, and are also able to quickly be wetted by liquid (more precisely, blood from capillaries damaged during the operation), which contributes to a denser growth of fibrin threads and bone cells. All this leads to very rapid osseointegration, taking 1.5-2 months.

Licenses of the DentBerg clinic

Dental implantation, which has a wide range of prices, is in demand among the population. The DentBerg Clinic cooperates with an Israeli manufacturer of dental implants. This company supplies the clinic with the most modern and safe types of its products:

• Alpha-Tec
• Dualfit
• Spiral
• Arrow Press

Israeli products are distinguished by their versatility in use, which ensures their high demand among professional dental clinics.

The DentBerg Clinic also uses first-class materials from Swiss-American Biocare and North American BioHorizons Implant Systems, Inc manufacturers. A distinctive feature of the products of these companies is their labeling and packaging along with the necessary tools.

Dental implantation in DentBerg is also carried out using domestic products. Contrary to prejudice, Russian implants have the highest quality and certification. Having proven themselves well in numerous medical centers and clinics, domestic implants, unfortunately, are very expensive. Therefore, dental implantation, the prices of which are formed by taking into account the cost of materials, labor, and the cost of delivering funds, belongs to the elite category.

Dental implantation includes several stages:

• diagnostics and consultation;
• installation of implants;
• rehabilitation period.

For a more successful process of restoring the dentition, it is necessary to adhere to several rules that allow you to achieve a more effective result.

• diagnosis should be as accurate and detailed as possible;
• the use of antiseptic drugs should exclude the possibility of infection of the patient;
• scrupulous execution of the surgical plan for implant installation;
• using only high-quality materials.

Dental implants, the prices of which are determined after diagnosis, are undergoing a discount boom and may be divided into parts. The DentBerg Clinic is ready to meet the needs of its patients so as not to deprive them of the opportunity to shine with a snow-white smile in society.

A convenient cost reduction system after the first visit is five percent for prosthetics and twenty percent for treatment. And pensioners can even get a 30% discount on dental services at the clinic.

Do I need to prepare for implantation?

This question can only be answered in the affirmative, and if the clinic says that no preparation is required, then you need to urgently change the doctor. When planning implantation, the dentist needs to familiarize himself with the diagnostic results - usually the patient is required to undergo a computed tomography scan of the jaw and undergo laboratory blood/urine tests. The first examination is necessary to understand the volume and structure of bone tissue, and tests will help eliminate contraindications.

Also, before implantation, you need to sanitize the oral cavity and clean your teeth from stone (ultrasound and Air-Flow). A few days before surgery, you need to switch to a gentle diet (excluding fatty, fried, spicy and canned foods). It is recommended to quit smoking 2-4 weeks in advance. On the day of surgery, you need to eat approximately 2-3 hours before your visit to the clinic. If you are undergoing sedation or general anesthesia, you should refrain from eating 8 hours before implantation.

What implantation methods are suitable for?

Implantation on the Biohorizont systems can be carried out using the following methods for mild or severe atrophy of the jaw bone tissue, as well as for various forms of adentia (single, multiple and complete absence of teeth):

• classical implantation: or two-stage method. Here, between the implantation of the implant and the installation of the prosthesis, 2-4 months must pass so that the intraosseous part takes root well. Mainly used for single restorations,
• implantation with immediate loading: the prosthesis can be placed immediately after implantation, because special treatment protocols require early loading with the prosthesis - here the load is necessary to accelerate osseointegration. Suitable for complete restorations or for implantation in the absence of a large number of adjacent teeth using the TeethXpress method,
• One-stage implantation: carried out immediately after tooth extraction - directly into the formed hole.

According to reviews from dentists, BioHorizons implants can be used to install both permanent fixed and conditionally removable dentures. In addition, due to their design features, these implants are approved for installation in patients with weakened immune systems and the elderly.

“I suffered with periodontitis and loose teeth for about 7 years. Splinting did not help for a long time; the teeth began to “fall out” one after another. I tried to walk with a removable denture, but it was still a torment! You can’t eat normally with him, just smile. After all the ordeals, I decided that it was time to get implants, especially since we have several good dentists in our city. The doctor suggested getting prosthetics from American “biohorizons”, they say, the company is proven, and for the price it worked out fine for me. To be honest, I don’t know much about all these brands, but if the doctor is confident in the quality, then why not. Now it’s been the fourth year that I’ve been wearing dentures on implants – and with them you can really chew whatever you want (and not just eat porridge).”

Svetlana Nikolaevna, Novosibirsk, review from the website stomatology.rf

Contraindications

This surgical intervention has a number of contraindications, which can be divided into general, absolute and relative.

General contraindications include:

1. Allergic reactions to anesthesia.
2. Problems with the cardiovascular system.
3. A disease of the central nervous system in which the patient cannot independently perform hygienic oral care procedures.
4. Inflammation of the gums. It is necessary to wait until the soft tissues return to normal.
5. Malocclusion.

Among the relative or temporary contraindications:

• caries on teeth located near the implantation site;
• inflammatory process in the mandibular joint;
• pathologically developed alveolar process;
• pregnancy. During this period, surgery and the use of anesthetics are not recommended;
• dependence on alcohol or drugs;

An absolute ban on the installation of implants applies to patients:

• with blood incoagulability. This contraindication is due to the risk of large blood loss during surgery;
• with cancer. Any intervention in the body can contribute to the growth of malignant tumors;
• with diseases that undermine the immune system;
• with type 1 diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar levels make wound healing difficult;
• with hypertonicity of the facial muscles that provide chewing.

Indications

The installation of Biohorizon structures is shown:

• people with a long-term absence of one/several chewing teeth;
• people over 20 years of age;
• after forced removal;
• to maintain the health and correct position of neighboring teeth.

Experts say that implantation must be carried out as early as possible so that the jaw bones do not have time to atrophy after extraction.

About the manufacturer

The Biohorizon company launched its production in 1994 in the USA. And since then it has opened branches in 50 countries. The company owes its rapid growth to the University of Alabama. After all, it was organized at his base in the city of Birmingham.

The trust of specialists in the field of surgical dentistry and the positive reputation of Biohorizon among clients are based on the fact that implant materials are researched and tested in university laboratories.

The company also produces instruments for maxillofacial operations.
