Indications for Use
The ANKYLOS® C/X Dental Implant System is for single-stage or two-stage surgical procedures and cemented or screw retained restorations. The ANKYLOS® C/X Dental Implant System is intended for immediate placement and function on single tooth and/or multiple tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved, with appropriate occlusal loading, in order to restore chewing function. Multiple tooth applications may be splinted with a bar.
Device Story
ANKYLOS® C/X Dental Implant System is a root-formed threaded screw system for dental restoration. It features an integrated indexation within the taper connection, allowing precise abutment positioning and relocation without requiring transfer keys for impression taking. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings for single or multiple tooth replacement; supports cemented or screw-retained restorations. The system restores chewing function through surgical implantation and subsequent prosthetic loading. Benefits include simplified abutment management and clinical efficiency.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Fatigue testing was performed to compare the subject device against predicate devices, with results showing comparable performance.
Technological Characteristics
Root-formed threaded screws; material: commercially pure titanium; connection: tapered with integrated indexation; components include implants, abutments, gingiva formers, and titanium alloy screws. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring single or multiple tooth replacement via single-stage or two-stage surgical procedures, including immediate placement and function when primary stability is achieved and occlusal loading is appropriate.
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.
