Indications for Use
The Leone Monoimplants for O-ring overdenture are indicated as therapy for the stabilization of removable prosthesis on lower arch. The Leone Monoimplants for O-ring overdenture are designed to be surgically inserted in the bone structure of the mouth, exclusively in the mandible at the level of the area between the two foramina, as an anchorage system for total removable prosthesis. To properly support a removable prosthesis, four monoimplants have to be inserted.
Device Story
One-piece endosseous dental implant; titanium alloy construction. Features self-tapping screw endosseous portion with sandblasted surface; smooth tapered neck for mucosal seal; ball-shaped top for O-ring overdenture microhousing connection. Surgically inserted by dental professionals into the mandible between the two foramina. Acts as anchorage system for total removable prosthesis; requires four implants for support. Benefits patient by stabilizing removable dentures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Titanium alloy; one-piece endosseous screw design; sandblasted surface; sterile; non-networked; mechanical anchorage system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for stabilization of removable prosthesis on lower arch in patients with total lower edentulism. Requires surgical insertion of four implants into the mandible between the two foramina.
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.
