Indications for Use
The Guided Surgery Concept is intended for the treatment of totally and partially edentulous jaws as well as single unit cases. The Guided Surgery Concept enables a predictable, fast and minimally invasive endosseous dental implant installation procedure according to case planning done by the clinician. The Guided Surgery Concept enables the final prosthesis to be produced prior to and attached in the same session as the implant installation. The entire procedure is typically completed within one hour and can be used for the treatment of totally and partial edentulous patients as well as patients missing a single tooth.
Device Story
System uses 3D planning software to process CT-scan data; clinician performs virtual case planning to determine implant location/orientation. Software output used to fabricate physical surgical template. Clinician uses template during surgery to guide site preparation and implant placement; enables immediate attachment of prefabricated temporary or final prosthesis. Procedure performed in clinical setting; typically completed within one hour. Benefits include predictable, fast, minimally invasive installation and immediate restoration of function/esthetics.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use.
Technological Characteristics
System includes 3D planning software and surgical templates. Software processes CT-scan data for virtual surgical planning. Template acts as physical guide for implant site preparation and placement. No specific materials or connectivity standards provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for treatment of single, partially, and totally edentulous jaws for placement of implant fixtures with immediate function to restore esthetics and chewing function. Prerequisites: adequate amount and quality of jaw bone.
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.
