BioHorizons Global Symposium 2008 Combines Record Attendance with Groundbreaking Technology
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2008 BioHorizons Global
Symposium drew more than 1,000 attendees from 42 countries toSan Diego,
California for a 3-day scientific program on today's most important implant
and tissue regeneration topics. Each clinician-moderated session featured a
panel discussion of audience-submitted questions that kept participants fully
engaged in the program.
Members of the scientific panel and moderators included Drs. Carl E.
Misch, Michael A. Pikos, Maurice Salama and Michael Reddy. Featured presenters
included Drs. Edward P. Allen, Stuart Froum, Michael McCracken, Craig Misch,
Myron Nevins, and Marius Steigmann.
The keynote session featured presentations on the ground-breaking
Laser-Lok(R) microchannels, BioHorizons' proprietary surface treatment now
offered on Tapered Internal, Single-stage and Internal implants. Dr. Jack
Ricci from NYU presented 15 years of in vitro, animal and human studies
conducted at leading universities around the world on this
precision-engineered surface. Dr. Myron Nevins from Harvard University
presented results from his landmark study: Human Histological Evidence of a
Connective Tissue Attachment to a Dental Implant.* In this study, Laser-Lok
was shown to attract a physical connective tissue attachment to a
predetermined zone on the implant while inhibiting epithelial downgrowth and
preserving coronal bone levels. Dr. Nevins also showed Laser-Lok implants
placed up to 9-years post-op with little to no bone loss.
BioHorizons and Dental Technologies, Inc. (DTI) also announced a new
Restoration-to-Implant Lifetime Warranty covering implants, abutments and
restorations when fabricated by a participating DTI Laboratory. This unique
offer, made possible by the recent merger of BioHorizons and DTI, brings
incredible value and practice building potential to the entire implant team.
R. Steven Boggan, President and CEO, said in regard to the unprecedented
attendance: "BioHorizons continues to be one of the fastest growing implant
companies in the industry because of unique offerings like Laser-Lok and our
Lifetime Warranty program. The Global Symposium presentations and attendance
are indicative of our growing momentum that stems from science-based design
and synergies with high-tech partners such as DTI."

2009, inChicago, Illinois. Attendance will be limited, and another sell-out
