Indications for Use
Nobel Biocare's NobelActive 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 NobelActive implants are indicated for single or multiple unit restorations in splinted or nonsplinted applications. Nobel Biocare's NobelActive implants may be placed immediately and put into immediate function provided that initial stability requirements detailed in the manual are satisfied.
Device Story
Threaded, root-form dental implants; surgically placed in upper or lower jaw bone; support prosthetic devices (artificial teeth). Used to restore esthetics and chewing function in partially or fully edentulous patients. Implanted by dental professionals. Device provides mechanical foundation for dental prosthetics; allows for immediate placement and function if stability criteria are met.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Threaded, root-form endosseous dental implants. Material and design are identical to the predicate device (K071370), differing only in length (8.5 mm and 18.0 mm).
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 for esthetics and chewing function. May be placed immediately with immediate function if stability requirements are met.
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.
