Indications for Use
Nobel Biocare's SFB and CFB implants are endosseous implant intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as an artificial tooth, in order to restore patient esthetics and chewing function. Nobel Biocare's SFB and CFB implants are indicated for single or multiple unit restorations in splinted or non-splinted applications. Nobel Biocare's SFB and CFB implants may be placed immediately and put into immediate function provided that initial stability requirements detailed in the manual are satisfied.
Device Story
SFB and CFB implants are threaded, root-form dental implants; manufactured from commercially pure titanium; feature TiUnite surface treatment and Groovy groove design. Used by dental surgeons in clinical settings for implantation into upper or lower jaw bone. Supports prosthetic devices (artificial teeth) to restore esthetics and chewing function. Placed via single or two-stage surgical procedures; supports immediate loading if initial stability criteria are met. Output is a stable foundation for dental prosthetics, improving patient oral function.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Commercially pure titanium; threaded root-form design; TiUnite surface treatment; Groovy groove design feature. Non-powered, mechanical device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for partially or fully edentulous patients requiring single or multiple unit restorations in the upper or lower jaw. Supports prosthetic devices to restore esthetics and chewing function. May be used in splinted or non-splinted applications and immediate loading if initial stability is achieved.
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.
