Indications for Use
The 3A Dental Implant System is intended for single or multiple surgical implantation (with or without tissue integration) in the maxillary and or mandibular arches for the purpose of providing prosthetic support for dental restorations in partially or totally edentulous individuals. May be used for single tooth restoration.
Device Story
3A Dental Implant System consists of CP titanium endosseous implants; self-tapping or standard screw-type designs; available in various diameters and lengths; smooth or abrasive-blasted surface finishes. Used by dental professionals for surgical implantation in maxillary or mandibular arches to provide prosthetic support for dental restorations. Device provides structural foundation for single or multiple tooth replacements in partially or totally edentulous patients. Performance verified via bench testing of representative configurations, including angled abutments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing was conducted on representative system configurations, including angled abutments, to ensure structural integrity and safety.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: CP titanium and titanium alloy. Design: Self-tapping or standard screw-type endosseous implant. Features: External hex and Morse taper connections; smooth or abrasive-blasted surface finishes. Dimensions: 3.75–5.5 mm diameter; 7–18 mm length. Sterilization: Provided sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for partially or totally edentulous individuals requiring prosthetic support for dental restorations in the maxillary or mandibular arches, including single tooth restoration.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An endosseous dental implant is a prescription device made of a material such as titanium or titanium alloy that is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore a patient's chewing function.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a root-form endosseous dental implant. The root-form endosseous dental implant is characterized by four geometrically distinct types: Basket, screw, solid cylinder, and hollow cylinder. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-Form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments” will serve as the special control. (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2) *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a blade-form endosseous dental implant. The special controls for this device are:(i) The design characteristics of the device must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use; (ii) Mechanical performance (fatigue) testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate maximum load (endurance limit) when the device is subjected to compressive and shear loads; (iii) Corrosion testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate corrosion potential of each metal or alloy, couple potential for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system, and corrosion rate for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system; (iv) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible; (v) Sterility testing must demonstrate the sterility of the device; (vi) Performance testing to evaluate the compatibility of the device in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment; (vii) Labeling must include a clear description of the technological features, how the device should be used in patients, detailed surgical protocol and restoration procedures, relevant precautions and warnings based on the clinical use of the device, and qualifications and training requirements for device users including technicians and clinicians; (viii) Patient labeling must contain a description of how the device works, how the device is placed, how the patient needs to care for the implant, possible adverse events and how to report any complications; and (ix) Documented clinical experience must demonstrate safe and effective use and capture any adverse events observed during clinical use.
