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
Straumann Dental Implant System consists of solid screw dental implants of various diameters and lengths. Implants feature a grit-blasted, acid-etched SLActive surface modification. Device is surgically placed in maxillary or mandibular arches by dental professionals to support crowns, bridges, or overdentures. SLActive surface modification is designed to increase osteoblast activity and angiogenesis during early healing, resulting in faster secondary stability (2-4 weeks post-placement) compared to standard SLA surfaces. Benefits include improved early healing and stability for patients requiring dental restoration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of animal studies comparing the SLActive surface to the predicate SLA surface, demonstrating increased osteoblast activity, increased angiogenesis, and faster secondary stability in the 2-4 week healing period.
Technological Characteristics
Endosseous dental implant; solid screw design; grit-blasted and acid-etched surface (SLActive). Materials and dimensions are identical to predicate. No electronic, software, or energy-based components.
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. For edentulous patients, a minimum of 4 implants is required for immediately loaded cases.
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.
