Indications for Use
Astra Tech Implant System is intended to be used to replace missing masticatory functional units (teeth) in single or multiple unit applications within the mandible or maxilla. The device may be used equally well in a single-stage or two-stage surgical procedure. It is indicated for immediate implantation in extraction sites or implantation in partially healed or completely healed alveolar ridge situations. When a one-stage surgical approach is applied, the implant may be immediately loaded when good primary stability is achieved and the functional load is appropriate. The OsseoSpeed Narrow product line shall be used only to replace maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral and central incisors. The fluoride-modified implant surface, though having a fluoride ion level far below that needed for caries prevention in teeth, provides a favorable substrate for bone attachment and osseointegration. Astra Tech Implant System is especially indicated for use in soft bone applications where implants with other implant surface treatments may be less effective. Because initial stability may be difficult to obtain in Type IV bone, immediate loading of single tooth restorations may not be appropriate in such situations. Immediate loading of single tooth restorations is not recommended for the OsseoSpeed™ 4.0S - 6 mm implant.
Device Story
Endosseous dental implant system; includes implants, abutments, and prosthetic components. Designed for surgical placement in mandible or maxilla to restore esthetics and chewing function. Features fluoride-modified surface to enhance bone attachment and osseointegration; specifically indicated for soft bone applications. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings. System supports single-stage or two-stage surgical procedures; allows for immediate loading when primary stability is achieved. Components are identical to previously marketed versions; submission expands clinical claims regarding immediate loading and specific anatomical indications.
Technological Characteristics
Endosseous root-form dental implants and abutments. Features fluoride-modified surface treatment for osseointegration. Materials and design principles are identical to previously marketed Astra Tech Implant System components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring replacement of missing teeth in mandible or maxilla; single or multiple unit applications. OsseoSpeed Narrow line restricted to maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral/central incisors. Contraindicated for immediate loading in Type IV bone or with OsseoSpeed 4.0S - 6 mm implant.
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.
