Indications for Use
The abutment is placed into the dental implant to provide support for a prosthetic restoration such as a crown or bridge. The titanium temporary posts are screwed into the dental implants and serve as a base for a temporary prosthetic restoration. The plastic burn-out copings provide a cast inner surface for mating with the abutment and implant and are for use in casting restorations directly from porcelain- fused-to-metal alloy without the use of machined metal components. The healing cap and closure screw are titanium devices which are mounted onto the dental implant before the soft tissue is sutured in place around the implant and which are intended to protect the inner configuration of the implant. The healing cap also protects the outer 45° shoulder of the implant during the healing phase and helps stabilize and maintain the soft tissue.
Device Story
Prosthetic accessories for ITI Dental Implant System; includes abutments, titanium temporary posts, plastic burnout copings, healing caps, and closure screws. Used by dentists/clinicians to support prosthetic restorations (crowns/bridges) or protect implant configurations during healing. Abutments provide structural support; temporary posts serve as bases for temporary restorations; burnout copings facilitate casting of restorations; healing caps/closure screws protect implant internals and stabilize soft tissue. Devices are mechanical components integrated into dental implant procedures. No software or electronic components involved.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Prosthetic accessories (abutments, posts, copings, caps, screws) for endosseous dental implants. Materials include titanium and plastic (burn-out copings). Mechanical design for mating with dental implants. No energy source, software, or connectivity.
Indications for Use
Indicated for partially or fully edentulous patients requiring prosthetic restoration support via endosseous dental implants.
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.
