Use Laser-Lok® healing abutments when a Laser-Lok® abutment restoration is planned to inhibit epithelial downgrowth, establish a soft tissue seal and protect the bone. After removing a Laser-Lok® healing abutment to make an impression, use a new Laser-Lok® abutment (healing, temp or final) to establish the soft tissue connection again.
