Indications for Use
Ceramic hextop abutments are designed for use with commercially available osseointegrated dental implant systems. The abutments, which do not osseointegrate, are to be seated directly on top of the implant body. The abutments form the substructure of the restored prosthesis. The ITI® ceramic coping is intended to be seated on the implant/abutment complex and serve as a base for the prosthetic reconstruction. The prefabricated coping provides a machined inner surface for mating with the abutment and implant, while the outer surface can be adapted to the individual restoration.
Device Story
Ceramic Hextop Abutment and SynOcta In-Ceram Coping function as components in dental implant systems; abutments seat directly on implant bodies to form prosthetic substructures; copings seat on implant/abutment complexes to serve as bases for individual prosthetic reconstructions. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to facilitate tooth replacement. Devices provide mechanical interface between osseointegrated implants and final dental restorations; benefit patients by enabling stable, functional prosthetic attachment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Ceramic abutments and copings; designed for mechanical mating with commercially available osseointegrated dental implant systems; prefabricated with machined inner surfaces; non-osseointegrating.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring prosthetic restoration supported by osseointegrated dental implants. Used as a substructure or base for dental prostheses.
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.
