Intra-Lock® International Inc., headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, USA, is a leading provider of innovative dental restoration solutions including a wide range of dental implants, bio-materials and prosthetic abutments. Intra-Lock dental implants are biologically driven in design. Their architectures are “site-specific” which encourages physiologic harmony and ensures an ideal tissue response when compromised bone volume, density and/or extraction site defects are encountered. Intra-Lock’s advanced bioactive surface, OSSEAN®, its ergonomic delivery technology, Drive-Lock™ and its exceptional abutment stability offer a complete solution for dental implant specialists.
Intra-Lock’s origins can be dated back to the 1990’s when an international coalition of dental professionals, biologists, design engineers, and manufacturing craftsmen were assembled to further the evolution of existing dental implant technology. With a fresh slate, they began a design and development project that was global in extent and encompassed decades of research and analysis.
By analyzing “proven” designs and the latest and most valid biological principles, they realized that within this multidisciplinary data there existed the opportunity to provide the discipline with significant advancements in the design of implant systems. Armed with this new database of knowledge, a prototype implant and a novel delivery system was developed. It was named the “Intra-Lock System” and was marketed for almost a decade in Europe and the Americas. Tens of thousands of implants were placed and evaluated. Clinical success, patient acceptance and confidence in this system by the practitioners who used it led to the 2001 worldwide debut of Intra-Lock International, Inc.
Today Intra-Lock’s family of practitioners has grown to include a vast array of dentists, dental specialists and implant surgeons worldwide.
The company’s proprietary product manufacturing facility is located in Vista, California, and its surface finishing, biomaterial laboratories, packaging/shipping, and Global Headquarters are in southern Florida.
