Indications for Use
For implantation into any area of the fully edentulous maxilla and mandible for the support of a removable or fixed dental prosthesis For implantation into any area of the partially edentulous maxilla and mandible for the support of a removable or fixed dental prosthesis For single tooth or multiple unit prosthesis For single stage or two stage surgical procedure For immediate placement and immediate function when multiple units are splinted and for single units when adequate initial stability is achieved in type I or type II bone and under appropriate occlusal loading. Multiple units may be splinted with a bar. In edentulous cases restored with a fixed prosthesis, four or more implants must be used. Abutments are intended for use in conjunction with compatible Implant System in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multiple-unit cement retained restoration.
Device Story
Blue Sky Bio Dental Implant System consists of endosseous dental implants and prosthetic abutments. Modification introduces angled abutments, custom-milled abutments for off-axis placement, UCLA-type straight abutments, 8mm length implants, and ceramic surgical osteotomy drills. Used by dental clinicians in clinical settings for surgical placement into maxilla or mandible. Implants provide structural foundation for fixed or removable dental prostheses. Abutments connect implant to restoration. System supports single-stage or two-stage surgical procedures; immediate function possible with adequate bone stability. Benefits include restoration of dental function and aesthetics for edentulous or partially edentulous patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Endosseous dental implants and abutments. Includes ceramic surgical osteotomy drills. Materials and design consistent with standard dental implant systems. Intended for surgical implantation into alveolar bone.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dental prostheses in fully or partially edentulous maxilla and mandible. Supports single or multiple-unit restorations, including immediate placement/function under specific stability and loading conditions. No specific age or gender contraindications provided.
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.
