Indications for Use
The XiVE® TG Abutment is intended for use to fabricate screw-retained or cementable crowns and bridges.
Device Story
XiVE® TG Abutment is a dental implant accessory used for fabricating screw-retained or cementable crowns and bridges. Constructed of CP-2 titanium, it is available in straight or angled configurations with diameters ranging from 3.4mm to 4.5mm to match XiVE® transgingival implant bodies. The device is used by dental professionals in a clinical setting to support prosthetic restorations. It functions as an interface between the dental implant and the final crown or bridge, facilitating the restoration of patient dentition.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluations confirmed the device performs as intended and is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Constructed of CP-2 titanium. Available in straight or angled configurations with diameters 3.4-4.5mm. Designed for compatibility with XiVE® transgingival implant bodies. Mechanical strength and design are consistent with predicate dental abutments.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in the fabrication of screw-retained or cementable crowns and bridges for patients requiring dental implant restorations.
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.
