Indications for Use
For immediate or delayed placement in the maxillary and/or mandibular arches to support crowns, bridges and overdentures in edentulous or partially edentulous patients.
Device Story
The ITI Dental Implant System consists of endosseous dental implants used to support dental prosthetics. Implants are surgically placed into the maxillary or mandibular arches. The device features a modified surface (grit-blasted and acid-etched) designed to accelerate osseointegration and improve secondary stability compared to previous iterations. The implant neck is smooth-machined to facilitate epithelial tissue attachment. The device is used by dental clinicians in a clinical setting. By providing a stable anchor for crowns, bridges, and overdentures, the implant restores chewing function for patients. The modified surface allows for earlier loading procedures during the healing phase.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical data provided. Evidence consists of animal studies demonstrating improved bone-to-implant contact and earlier secondary stability at 2-4 weeks healing periods for the modified surface compared to the predicate SLA surface.
Technological Characteristics
Endosseous dental implant; material: Grade 4 cold-worked titanium; surface: grit-blasted and acid-etched; diameters: 3.3 to 4.8 mm; design: solid screw with smooth-machined neck; energy source: none (mechanical); sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for single-stage or two-stage surgical procedures in edentulous or partially edentulous patients. Intended for immediate placement and function on single or multiple tooth applications to restore chewing function, provided good primary stability is achieved and appropriate occlusal loading is applied. Multiple tooth applications may be rigidly splinted. In edentulous patients, 4 or more implants are required for immediate loading.
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.
