Indications for Use
3i Dental Accessories are indicated for use in surgical and restorative applications when placing dental implants.
Device Story
Dental accessories (cover screws, healing abutments) used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants; surgically inserted into jawbone to serve as artificial root structure for prosthetic teeth, bridges, or dentures. Device facilitates soft tissue healing around abutment contours. This notification covers the transition of previously non-sterile accessories to sterile-packaged devices. Accessories are sterilized via gamma irradiation in heat-sealed nylon pouches. No changes to design, materials, or intended use. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical strength analysis performed on accessories pre- and post-exposure to multiple cycles of gamma irradiation. Results demonstrated no significant differences in material properties.
Technological Characteristics
Dental accessories manufactured from various materials. Sterilization method: gamma irradiation. Packaging: heat-sealed nylon pouches. No changes to design or materials compared to predicate devices.
Indications for Use
Indicated for surgical placement in the upper or lower jaw to provide a means for prosthetic attachment to restore a patient's chewing function.
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.
