## Indications for use
BioHorizons Tapered Pro Conical dental implants are intended for use in the mandible or maxilla for use as an artificial root structure for single tooth replacement or for fixed bridgework and dental retention. These dental implants may be restored immediately (1) with a temporary prosthesis that is not in functional occlusion or (2) when splinted together for multiple tooth replacement or when stabilized with an overdenture supported by multiple implants. BioHorizons Tapered Short Conical dental implants are intended for use in the mandible or maxilla as an artificial root structure for single tooth replacement or for fixed bridgework and dental retention. These dental implants must be restored using delayed loading, for single tooth replacement, or may be used with a terminal or intermediate abutment for fixed or removable bridgework or for overdentures. Tapered Short Conical implants should be used only when there is not enough space for a longer implant. If the ratio of crown length to implant length is unfavorable, the biomechanical risk factors have to be considered and appropriate measures have to be taken by the dental professional. BioHorizons conical dental prosthetic components connected to the endosseous dental implants are intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitations of the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for prosthetic restorations. All digitally designed abutments for use with Conical CAD/CAM Ti Blanks and Ti Bases are to be sent to a BioHorizons validated milling center for manufacture.
