• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

BIOSPLINT Splinting ribbons are used for Stabilization of mobile teeth, Temporary replacement of missing teeth, Maintain of inter-dental spaces, Reinforcement or repairing of temporary or permanent bridges.

Device Story

BIOSPLINT Splinting ribbons consist of braided polyethylene terephthalate fibers treated via a super-critical fluid process to enhance composite impregnation. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to stabilize mobile teeth, replace missing teeth temporarily, maintain inter-dental spaces, and reinforce/repair bridges. Ribbons are fixed to teeth using light-curing flowable hybrid composite and a one-bottle light-curing adhesive system. The device is pliable to conform to tooth curvature and has a low profile to minimize oral discomfort. Clinical benefit includes improved tooth retention and structural support for dental restorations. The device is intended for long-term placement with regular patient monitoring.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials were conducted for this 510(k). Evidence consists of biocompatibility testing (AMES test, pyrogenicity, sensitization, intramuscular implantation, systemic toxicity, intradermal injection, and in-vitro cytotoxicity) and literature references supporting the efficacy of fiber-reinforced composites in dentistry since 1992.

Technological Characteristics

Braided polyethylene terephthalate fibers; dimensions approx. 2.5mm width, 50mm length, 0.15mm thickness. Treated with super-critical fluid process for improved composite impregnation. Fixed via light-curing flowable hybrid composite and adhesive. Biocompatibility testing performed per ASTM F 619-79, ASTM F 763-87, ASTM F 981-87, ISO 10993-6, and USP XXII standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for stabilization of mobile teeth, temporary replacement of missing teeth, maintenance of inter-dental spaces, and reinforcement or repair of temporary or permanent dental bridges.

Regulatory Classification

## 4. Device description:

### PRESENTATION

Box containing:

- 8 ribbons (Braided polyethylene terephtalate fibers) individually wrapped in aluminium bags (width: approximately 2.5 mm - length: approximately 50 mm - thickness: ~ 0,15 mm).
- Accessories: BIOSPLINT™ Thermal cutter, BIOSPLINT™ Accessories: brushes and probes -

### PROPERTIES

BIOSPLINT™ Splinting ribbons are fixed to the teeth using a light curing flowable hybrid composite and a one-bottle light-curing adhesive system. BIOSPLINT™ Splinting ribbons are treated using the so-called "super-critical fluid" process. This treatment is a process for "cleaning" the fibers, allowing to improve the impregnation of the fiber by the composite and thus to improve the cohesion of the overall tooth retention system

BIOSPLINT™ Splinting ribbons can be pliable in order to the curves of the teeth. Their low thickness makes it possible to avoid any oral embarrassment after setting in place.

BIOSPLINT™ Splinting ribbons can remain in place for several years if necessary; in this case a regular monitoring of the patient is necessary.

#### Intended use of the Device 5.

BIOSPLINT™ Splinting ribbons are used for Stabilization of mobile teeth, Temporary replacement of missing teeth, Maintain of inter-dental spaces, Reinforcement or repairing of temporary or permanent bridges.

### 6. Substantial Equivalence:

The BIOSPLINT™ Splinting ribbon is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States: CONNECT and RIBBOND are intended for a similar use.

{2}------------------------------------------------

#### Efficacy of the Device 7.

The efficacy of the use of this kind of device is well established in the professional literature since 1992 (GOLDBERG AJ, BURSTONE CJ, "The use of continuous fiber reinforcement in dentistry" dent.mater 1992; 8:197-202).

The BIOSPLINT™ Splinting ribbon has been successfully used in Europe since 1997.

The following articles concerning their efficacy in clinical practice have been published in French professional literature:
