press releases

BIRMINGHAM, AL, September 25, 2018 --

We are pleased to announce that BioHorizons acquired Intra-Lock, a dental implant company based in Boca Raton, Florida. BioHorizons always strives for continuous improvement and we are impressed with Intra-Lock's products and technology. In particular, we are excited to add the IntraSpin system to our portfolio since platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is increasingly used in grafting procedures.

IntraSpin PRF:

• The IntraSpin is the only FDA-cleared medical device for the chairside production of PRF; why put your practice at unnecessary risk by using uncleared devices?
• A simple procedure creates a thin, compressed layer of PRF that is strong, pliable and suitable for surgical manipulation and suturing.
• The Intra-Lock equipment and protocols ensure the production of PRF with a proven biologic signature.

MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Company advances strategy to enhance position in dental specialty markets with investment in implant manufacturer

Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the world's largest provider of health care products and services to office-based dental, animal health and medical practitioners, announced today plans to make a strategic investment in dental implant manufacturer BioHorizons, Inc., advancing the Company's goal of expanding its position in the dental specialty market.

Henry Schein reached an agreement to acquire a 60% interest in BioHorizons, a U.S.-based manufacturer of advanced dental implants sold internationally. Under the agreement, BioHorizons, with revenue of approximately $115 million, will continue to operate as an independent company. Financial terms of the proposed transaction were not disclosed. The transaction with BioHorizons involves a two-step process: A recapitalization through which Henry Schein will lend approximately $145 million to BioHorizons to fund, among other uses, a distribution to shareholders, which will occur prior to closing, followed by the equity investment. Pending regulatory approval, Henry Schein expects to complete the transaction by the end of the year.

The agreement with BioHorizons strengthens Henry Schein's position in a critical and growing market that also includes the company's investment in CAMLOG Biotechnologies AG, a leading manufacturer of implants in Europe. With these two investments, Henry Schein will have important positions in two of the largest implant markets -- the U.S. and Germany -- as well as a growing presence in the rest of the world. BioHorizons and CAMLOG, which will each operate independently, are strong brands with unique features and benefits that offer customers a broad range of treatment options. The investment in BioHorizons also strengthens Henry Schein's position and product portfolio in the biologics market, a critical adjunct to the implant market. Henry Schein offers customers a wide array of the products and services associated with implant dentistry, thereby providing a complete solution for the benefit of the dental practice.

"Henry Schein's strategy includes advancing our position in dental specialty markets, an integral part of which is to support those practitioners who perform oral surgery involving implants," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. "Implant dentistry is a critical element of the profession's transition to digital dentistry. More and more abutments for implants are being digitally designed and fabricated, which increase patient comfort and esthetics and reduce patient visits. Customer demand for implants and the associated materials are expected to increase as digital processes are adopted and the dental experience for the patient is enhanced."

The value of the global implant market is expected to reach approximately $4.2 billion in 2016, up from approximately $3 billion in 2012. In the U.S. and Canada, the market is expected to reach $1.5 billion in 2016, up from approximately $1 billion in 2012.

Based in Birmingham, Alabama, BioHorizons employs approximately 325 people and markets its products in 85 markets. Its revenue has been growing on average by more than 10 percent annually, and more than half of that revenue is derived in the U.S. Founded in 1995, the company offers a broad spectrum of innovative products, including implants featuring its proprietary Laser-Lok(R) microchannel surface technology, designed to minimize bone loss and maximize esthetics.

"On behalf of the shareholders and management of BioHorizons, we are delighted with this partnership, which combines BioHorizons' record of global growth and clinical excellence in the implant dentistry field with Henry Schein's strengths worldwide," said Mortimer Berkowitz III, Chairman of BioHorizons. "Having known the Henry Schein management team for some years, we look forward to working closely with them to build the business into a global leadership position by delivering outstanding patient results through differentiated products."

BioHorizons benefits from a long-serving management team. The company will continue to be led by its President and CEO, Steve Boggan, who has held that position since 1999; Todd Strong, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, who joined BioHorizons at its founding in 1995; and David Wall, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. BioHorizons will be a part of Henry Schein's Global Dental Surgical Group, and its revenue will be reported as part of the Company's Global Dental Group.

"We believe our partnership with Henry Schein will further enhance our growth prospects in the implant and biologics market," said Mr. Boggan. "The strength of Henry Schein and its deep relationships in the marketplace create an ideal combination. We are looking forward to advancing the goals of both organizations, and are very pleased to be part of Team Schein."

2014 Guidance
Henry Schein expects the BioHorizons transaction to be dilutive to earnings per share in 2014 by $0.03 to $0.05, and accretive to earnings per share in 2015 by $0.03 to $0.04. The 2014 dilution is primarily due to a one-time inventory revaluation as required under U.S. GAAP accounting rules for business combinations. Together with the previously announced definitive agreement to acquire 80% of Poland's Medivet S.A., the Company has revised its 2014 financial guidance, as follows:

-- For 2014, the Company now expects diluted EPS attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. to be $5.32 to $5.42, which represents growth of 9% to 11% compared with the midpoint of the 2013 guidance range.

-- Guidance for 2014 diluted EPS attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. is for current continuing operations as well as completed or previously announced acquisitions, and does not include the impact of potential future acquisitions, if any.

The 2013 BioHorizons Global Symposium brought together over 1,400 dental professionals from 55 countries to the prestigious Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, Florida. Thirty-eight clinicians presented throughout a three day program on April 25-27 that featured concurrent surgical and restorative tracks, hands-on training and faculty-moderated discussion panels.

The program was led by internationally-recognized opinion leaders who addressed a range of topics including immediate placement and loading, implant complications, treatment planning and tissue regeneration. Pre-symposium courses included topic-specific breakout sessions and a dedicated Spanish language Symposium by key thought leaders from throughout Latin America. "This is the most impressive, educational implant forum I have ever attended," said Dr. Daniel Spagnoli, Chair of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, LSU School of Dentistry.

R. Steven Boggan, President and CEO of BioHorizons, stated "This was the most comprehensive agenda in our history. The Global Symposium incorporated research and practical perspectives from top clinicians around the world. They described the latest technologies and techniques for resolving challenging issues within implant dentistry. With technology evolving so rapidly, it's important that clinicians base their decisions on evidence-based solutions, not industry rhetoric. The Global Symposium met that important need based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback from all of the attendees."

"Given the tremendous response, we will continue to offer these much needed programs to dental clinicians," said Greg Bryant, Director of Continuing Education. "The next three stops in our International Symposium Series have already been scheduled for Mumbai, India (2013), Dubai (2014) and Los Angeles (2015)."

BIRMINGHAM, AL, April 7. 2010 / BUSINESS WIRE / --

BioHorizons, a leading manufacturer of dental implants and tissue regeneration products, reported today that a recently published study demonstrates that dentists who use Laser-Lok® dental implants to replace missing teeth can give patients years of normal dental function and appearance.

"This study is consistent with the results I have had for the last 10 years with Laser-Lok dental implants," said Dr. Cary Shapoff, a periodontist in Fairfield, CT and the lead author of the study. "These implants have shown an exceptional ability to maintain patients' dental health and esthetics over the long term."

Here are the study details:

• Forty-one patients with missing teeth were treated with Laser-Lok dental implants.
• Patients were missing one or more teeth due to genetics, trauma, hygiene or a failed endodontic procedure (commonly known as a root canal).
• After three years, these patients had a 98% success rate with minimal bone loss (0.46mm).
• The complete study is available in the April issue of The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry (IJPRD)¹.

"While dental implants, in general, have a very high success rate, dentists often accept that patients will experience 2mm of bone loss over the life of an implant," commented Dr. Shapoff. "This bone loss can result in an unnatural looking smile. BioHorizons implants have shown a unique ability to stop this bone loss, allowing patients to maintain a natural, esthetic smile."

BioHorizons Laser-Lok dental implants are a proprietary design that causes the bone and soft tissue to attach and be retained around the dental implant. It is the only surface cleared by the FDA that establishes a physical, connective tissue attachment (unlike Sharpey fiber attachment).

"Stable soft tissue attachment to Laser-Lok dental implants, resulting in a biologic seal, was documented for the very first time in studies published in 2008^2,3," commented Dr. John L. Ricci, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Biomaterials and Biomimetics at NYU College of Dentistry. "This latest study definitively confirms that the clinical benefits of a stable soft tissue envelope around Laser-Lok dental implants are significant when compared to the typical 1.5-2mm of bone loss documented with other implant systems."

Steve Boggan, President and CEO of BioHorizons, added, "The majority of our customers have converted to Laser-Lok dental implants because of the benefits they have seen for their patients. This study further validates their clinical experience. We look forward to the release of additional studies later this year comparing BioHorizons implants to dental implant systems from other companies."

Clinicians from 36 countries interact with internationally recognized thought leaders

Dentists from 36 countries convened at the BioHorizons 2009 Global Symposium to learn about the latest technologies impacting implant dentistry. The theme of this year's meeting was "Integrating technology for the continuum of care" focusing on recent advances in digital dentistry, treatment planning, implant surfaces, tissue regeneration and implant-specific restorations.

The scientific sessions were led by top dental clinicians such as Drs. Carl E. Misch, Michael A. Pikos, Maurice Salama, Edward P. Allen, David Garber and Scott Ganz who provided insight into today's most challenging implant and regeneration topics.

R. Steven Boggan, President and CEO, stated "Given the current economic climate and the struggles our competitors are experiencing, we are especially proud of the quality and participation of our 10th Annual Symposium. It is a testament to the education the panel of assembled clinicians provides and the relevance of the topics and technologies discussed."

Highlights of the three day meeting included the Spanish language forum, the numerous hands-on training sessions and the clinician-moderated panel discussions. Attendees enjoyed asking questions to the featured presenters or using PDA's to send their questions electronically to the session moderators.

The key product topics this year included the introduction of VIP2.1 treatment planning software, shown to be intuitive and user-friendly, and the latest clinical results from Laser-Lok microchannels. "Laser-Lok was the stand out technology this year," said Clark Barousse, Senior VP, Global Sales & Marketing, "as presenters consistently showed results unique to other implant systems. It was exciting to hear industry thought leaders universally conclude they are getting better clinical results by using Laser-Lok." This year's case abstract competition winner, Spyros Botos, DDS, MSD of Greece, showed with his controlled overdenture study that Laser-Lok dental implants achieved superior bone maintenance and reduced probing depth when compared to Nobel Replace™ Select.

Symposium presenters and moderators included Drs. Carl E. Misch, Maurice Salama, Michael A. Pikos, Scott Ganz, Edward P. Allen, David Garber, Jack Ricci, Natalie Wong, Ray Yukna, Michael Reddy, Hamid Shafie, Jay Malmquist, Michael Klein and Murray Arlin.

3-Year Study Highlights the Clinical Success of Dental Implants with Laser-Lok Technology over Traditional Implants

BioHorizons, a leader in the dental implant industry, reported today that data from a three-year prospective, controlled, multi-center study of implants with Laser-Lok surface treatment confirmed previous results observed for Laser-Lok in vitro and in animal studies. Laser-Lok implants showed superior crestal bone maintenance when compared to traditional implants and to bone loss commonly reported in other studies.

"A physical, connective tissue attachment to dental implants was shown for the first time in human and animal studies on Laser-Lok published last year," commented Dr. John L. Ricci, PhD. "This latest study shows the clinical benefits of a physical connective tissue attachment to Laser-Lok are significant when compared to the typical 1.5-2mm of bone loss documented with other implants."

The study, published in Implant Dentistry, followed 20 pairs of implants in 15 patients from 1 to 37 months postoperative. A dental implant with Laser-Lok surface treatment was placed adjacent to a control implant of the same body design without Laser-Lok. Measurement values were reported for bleeding index, plaque index, probing depth, and crestal bone loss.

At 37 months, the mean probing depth was 3.60mm and the mean crestal bone loss was 1.94mm for the control implants versus only 2.30mm and 0.59mm, respectively, for the Laser-Lok implants. The difference in probing depth across the patient population demonstrated the consistent formation of a stable soft-tissue seal around the Laser-Lok implants and above the crestal bone. In addition, no difference in bleeding or plaque index between the Laser-Lok implants and the machined implants was shown, alleviating possible concerns about placing Laser-Lok implants supracrestal.

Steve Boggan, President and CEO of BioHorizons, added, "This study provides valuable information about the positive, long-term outcomes of dental implants with Laser-Lok microchannels and confirms what our customers have been telling us for some time."

The effectiveness of Laser-Lok has been shown in over 15 years of in vitro, animal, and human studies at leading universities. This patented precision laser surface treatment is unique within the industry as the only surface treatment shown to attract a physical connective tissue attachment to a predetermined zone on the implant while inhibiting epithelial downgrowth and preserving the coronal level of bone over the long term.

Today, virtually no dental implant company has knowledge of or experience with digital technology or its use. Long term, leadership and success in the dental implant industry will go to early adopters who can execute, support, and deliver to dentists a digitally designed and manufactured, complete and customized set of products and tools for each patient procedure. BioHorizons, Inc. will be the first dental implant company in the age of digital dentistry.

BioHorizons' headquarters will be in Birmingham, Alabama. The combined company generated approximately $150 million in revenues in 2007, making it one of the largest implant dentistry companies in the world. The Company will have 23 operating facilities in North America, eight international facilities and over 1,000 employees. Most importantly, this marriage creates a differentiated restorative dental company that has the most complete product offering in the industry. This provides BioHorizons the ability to streamline the implant and restorative process creating a more efficient continuum of care and superior patient outcomes.

"This development creates a leader in restorative and implant dentistry" stated R. Steven Boggan, President and CEO of BioHorizons. "We are confident that we can decrease treatment times while simultaneously improving patient outcomes. Being the only company with direct experience from surgical planning through final restoration, we offer our current and future customers superior service."

Wallace Sholdice, President of DTI explained, "We are very excited about this combination. BioHorizons and DTI share a vision for how to move the practice of dentistry into the digital age, especially implant dentistry. We will have the resources and expertise to provide significant value to our customers, particularly through continuing education and marketing programs that only an integrated company like BioHorizons can offer."

Canaccord Adams acted as financial advisor in the merger.

BRANCHBURG, N.J.-- Aug. 16, 2000 / BUSINESS WIRE / --

LifeCell Corporation (Nasdaq:LIFC) and BioHorizons Implant Systems Inc., a privately held company that develops, manufactures and distributes oral reconstructive devices, today announced an agreement granting BioHorizons the exclusive right for the distribution of AlloDerm® to the dental market. BioHorizons, based in Birmingham, Ala., will distribute AlloDerm® to periodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dental schools for use in dental surgeries and bone regeneration procedures in the United States, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia and South Korea. AlloDerm® is currently distributed in the US and abroad, however, the new distribution agreement is part of a strategic plan to expand our customer base.

"It was apparent from the beginning that LifeCell and BioHorizons would make a strong team," said Paul G. Thomas, LifeCell's president and chief executive officer. "We are two companies that share an important commonality, which is our commitment to bring to market innovative medical products that benefit both patients and surgeons. We believe this alliance will push AlloDerm® to a new level and help the product reach its full potential in the dental market." AlloDerm® is human tissue that is processed through a patented system to remove all cells while preserving the bioactive proteins and structure of human dermis. This process and the extensive pre-process screening enhance the safety of the product. In dentistry, AlloDerm® is used primarily for correcting mucogingival defects and as a covering to protect bone grafts.

"We are excited about the opportunity to distribute AlloDerm® to our customer base," said Steve Boggan, BioHorizons' president and chief executive officer. "The combination of LifeCell's unique product with its proven success in a number of dental procedures, the BioHorizons customer base and BioHorizons' complementary bone grafting product line will expand the market for AlloDerm®." BioHorizons has a proven track record for developing its own dental implants and bone regeneration products and successfully marketing each of them to a full range of dental professionals. In addition, BioHorizons markets the Grafton® bone grafting products for Osteotech. BioHorizons replaces Lifecore Biomedical, which distributed AlloDerm® to the dental market for LifeCell since 1997. The agreement with Lifecore expired July 30, 2000.
