Intended Use
The Thommen SPI® CONTACT Dental Implant is intended to be surgically placed, either immediately or delayed, in the bone of the maxillary and/or mandibular arch to provide support for crowns, bridges or overdentures. SPI® CONTACT implants can provide support only if they are splinted with a bar on four implants in the mandibular arch or six implants in the maxillary arch.
Device Story
Threaded, tapered, endosseous dental implant; manufactured from commercially pure titanium. Surgically placed by dentists into maxillary or mandibular bone to support prosthetic restorations (crowns, bridges, overdentures). Requires splinting with a bar (4 implants mandibular, 6 implants maxillary) for overdenture support. Surface features sandblasted and acid-etched threaded portion with smooth-machined 1.5 mm collar. Provided sterile via gamma irradiation. Clinical benefit includes restoration of dental function and aesthetics.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and technological similarities to legally marketed predicate devices. Bench testing confirms compliance with ASTM F 67 and ISO 5832-2 material requirements.
Technological Characteristics
Threaded, tapered endosseous dental implant. Material: Commercially pure titanium (ASTM F 67 Grade 4 / ISO 5832-2 GR4B). Surface: Sandblasted and acid-etched threads; smooth-machined 1.5 mm collar. Dimensions: 9.5-17 mm length, 3.5-6 mm diameter. Sterilization: Co60 gamma irradiation (25 kGy), SAL 10^-6. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dental restoration via crowns, bridges, or overdentures in the maxillary or mandibular arch. Contraindicated for 3.5 mm diameter implants in areas with pronounced rotation/translation movements causing large bending moments, specifically: posterior teeth restoration in upper/lower jaw, single-tooth restoration of canines/central incisors in upper jaw, and applications involving retentive anchors.
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.
