Indications for Use
The Brånemark System implants are for single-stage or two-stage surgical procedures and cement or screw retained restorations. The Branemark System implants are intended for immediate placement and function on single tooth and/or multiple tooth applications recognizing sufficient bone stability (type I or II bone) and appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function. Multiple tooth applications may be splinted with a bar.
Device Story
Brånemark System implants are threaded, root-form dental implants; fabricated from commercially pure titanium; available with machined or TiUnite surface. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings for surgical implantation into jawbone. Device serves as anchorage for dental restorations (cement or screw-retained) to restore chewing function. Supports immediate placement and function protocols when bone stability (type I or II) and occlusal loading conditions are met. Benefits patient by providing stable foundation for prosthetic teeth.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical results provided to support the expanded indications for use for immediate function. No specific sample sizes or statistical metrics (p-values, CIs) reported in the summary document.
Technological Characteristics
Threaded, root-form dental implants; material: commercially pure titanium; surface: machined or TiUnite; classification: Class III; regulation: 21 CFR 872.3640.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring single or multiple tooth replacement via single-stage or two-stage surgical procedures. Suitable for immediate placement and function in type I or II bone with appropriate occlusal loading. Multiple tooth applications may be splinted with a bar.
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.
