Indications for Use
Zit-z dental implants are root-form endosseous dental implants 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. They are indicated for single or multiple unit restorations in splinted or non-splinted applications. The zit-z dental implants are restored with fixed/cemented crowns and bridges. Not for immediate loading. The 3.5mm implant is contraindicated for restorations of the posterior teeth in the upper or lower jaw and for single-tooth restoration of canines and central incisors in the upper jaw.
Device Story
Zit-z is a root-form, one-piece cylindrical screw dental implant; surgically placed in jaw bone to support prosthetic devices (crowns/bridges). Features pentagonal anti-rotation geometry for insertion. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings. Device provides structural foundation for artificial teeth; restores esthetics and chewing function. Not for immediate loading.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical case study data and human histology provided. Fatigue testing performed per ISO 14801. Data demonstrates successful clinical use and ability to withstand necessary fatigue forces.
Technological Characteristics
Material: HIP zirconium dioxide ceramics (3Y-TZP) meeting ISO 13356. Design: One-piece cylindrical screw with pentagonal anti-rotation feature. Diameters: 3.5, 4.0, 5.0mm. Lengths: 10, 11.5, 13mm. Transgingival heights: 1.5, 2.5mm.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring single or multiple unit dental restorations in upper or lower jaw arches. Contraindicated for immediate loading. 3.5mm implant contraindicated for posterior teeth restorations and single-tooth restoration of upper canines and central incisors.
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.
