The new best-in-class is here

12 May 2025

An immediate implant protocol affords several advantages for patients and clinicians alike. Not only is treatment delivered faster, but bone volume can be better maintained. The literature also supports immediacy as a viable alternative to a delayed implant placement approach.

For clinicians to fully utilise the benefits available, it is crucial to select an implant system designed to facilitate immediate placement.

Introducing the new Tapered Pro Conical 

With a heritage of over three decades in implant dentistry, BioHorizons Camlog recently launched a brand-new product to optimise outcomes with immediate protocols. The Tapered Pro Conical implant provides the best of both worlds, leveraging the successful macro design of BioHorizons’ Tapered Pro and the proven and patented CONELOG connection. The result is a predictable implant solution designed for efficient immediate implant treatment with a best-in-class conical connection.

The new tapered Pro Conical implant features:

  • Long conus conical connection to reduce micromovements
  • 7.5º angulation that is proven to provide superior positional stability in comparison to other conical systems
  • Deep, aggressive, buttress threads to ensure superior primary stability compared to other implants
  • 6-cam connection designed for flexible abutment orientation and simple placement
  • Platform-switching to preserve the crestal bone and optimise aesthetic outcomes
  • Flat implant shoulder to reduce vertical discrepancies by facilitating flat seating of restorative components
  • Laser-Lok surface to encourage soft tissue attachment and preserve crestal bone
  • End cutting, self-tapping, helical cutting flutes ensure controlled placement

Duncan Park, principal of Green Square Dental & Implant Centre, said, The Tapered Pro Conical implant achieves excellent stability in a range of situations. The connection is based on the proven Conelog design which has been available for over 13 years and is among the best available. The emergence profile lends itself to create a very nice curvature of the gingiva, improving the soft tissue adaptation for exceptional aesthetics and cleansability.

“The design and material of the implant as a titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V ELI) also means it affords the strength required to ensure implant stability even when used in a smaller diameter, should the case demand it. In effect, it is the best of both companies – BioHorizons and Camlog.”

Omal Iqbal, postgraduate supervisor with Bristol University, commented, “The new Tapered Pro Conical implant from BioHorizons Camlog is based on the thread design and body shape of a previous generation of implant, which has proven to achieve high primary stability. This makes the new implant especially advantageous for immediate loading, though it is just as suitable for placement in healed sites too.

“Importantly, the new conical connection, adapted from the evidenced, long-term Conelog connection, achieves an enhanced emergence profile, which is crucial for soft tissue healing and aesthetics. With the excellent connection of the Tapered Pro Conical implant, the BioHorizons Camlog portfolio is the complete package. Like all solutions from the manufacturer, it comes with the support of extensive research and innovation giving the clinician total peace of mind.”

Streamlined performance and surgical flexibility

While designed to optimise outcomes using immediate protocols, the Tapered Pro Conical is suitable for delayed techniques as well. Further affording flexibility for the practitioner, the implant is available with a Pro Freehand Surgical Kit and a Pro Guided Surgery Kit. These facilitate guided and freehand surgery respectively, allowing the clinician to select the most appropriate approach for each individual case. Enhancing this further the Pro Guided Surgical kit has an innovative, patent-pending guide adapter to convert freehand drills to guided drills. This adaptability allows further intraoperative flexibility and surgical efficiency by offering freehand and guided surgery within a single kit solution!
