Indications for Use

The Zeramex® T Dental Implant System is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper and lower jaw to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore aesthetics and chewing function. The Zeramex® T Dental Implant System can be used for single or multiple unit restorations. Zeramex® T implants are intended for delayed loading. The Zeramex® T dental implants are specially indicated for patients with metal allergies and chronic illnesses due to metal allergies. The Zeramex® T (Ø 3.5 mm) implant may only be used in the anterior teeth in the lower jaw and lateral teeth in the upper jaw.

Device Story

Zeramex® T is a two-piece endosseous dental implant system; consists of zirconium oxide implants and abutments. Implants surgically placed in upper/lower jaw bone by dentists; provide support for prosthetic devices (artificial teeth). System includes surgical tools (drills, screwdrivers, placement tools) for site preparation and implant insertion. Abutments are bonded to implants using validated dental cements (Panavia, RelyX) and an internal cylindrical connection for anti-rotation/mechanical locking. Implants are intended for delayed loading. Device restores aesthetics and chewing function; specifically benefits patients with metal allergies. Healthcare providers use the system to replace missing teeth; clinical decision-making based on patient anatomy and allergy status.

Clinical Evidence

Single-center, open-label, prospective clinical study of 49 implants in partially edentulous, systemically healthy patients. Two-year cumulative survival rate was 87%. Complication rates: soft-tissue 0%, technical 4%, bone loss >2 mm 0%, aesthetic 0%.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Zirconia (zirconium oxide). Design: Two-piece implant/abutment system with internal cylindrical connection. Surface: Grit-blasted and acid-etched. Dimensions: Diameters 3.5-5.5 mm; lengths 8-14 mm. Sterilization: Steam (SAL 10^-6). Connectivity: Mechanical lock via cement and anti-rotation feature.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring dental implants for single or multiple unit restorations to restore aesthetics and chewing function, specifically including patients with metal allergies or chronic illnesses related to metal allergies. The 3.5 mm diameter implant is restricted to anterior lower jaw and lateral upper jaw teeth.

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.

### Description of the Device

The Zeramex® T System is an endosseous dental implant/abutment system. The Zeramex® T implants are placed using the Zeramex® T surgical tools. The implants are provided in three diameters (Ø 3.5 mm, 4.2 mm, and 5.5 mm) and three lengths (8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm). The Ø 4.2 mm implant is also offered in a 14 mm length. Dentalpoint AG offers several compatible abutments and other accessories including straight and angular (15°) abutments in small, regular/wide, and wide sizes, healing caps, and gingiva formers. The abutments are bonded to the implants using dental cements which have been tested and validated for use with the Zeramex system: Panavia (K032455) and 3M ESPE RelyX (K111185).

Class I, 510(k) exempt accessories are provided in the Zeramex® T tray and include drill bits, screwdrivers, countertorque devices, placement and removal tools, laboratory pieces used for fabrication or dental prosthetics, and trial abutments. The surgical tools are intended to be reprocessed (cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized) after each procedure.

# Intended Use/Indications for Use

The Zeramex® T Dental Implant System is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper and lower jaw to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore aesthetics and chewing function.

The Zeramex® T Dental Implant System can be used for single or multiple unit restorations.

Zeramex® T implants are intended for delayed loading.

The Zeramex® T dental implants are specially indicated for patients with metal allergies and chronic illnesses due to metal allergies.

The Zeramex® T (Ø 3.5 mm) implant may only be used in the anterior teeth in the lower jaw and lateral teeth in the upper jaw.

# Technological Characteristics

Zeramex® T Dental Implant System has the same intended use as the predicate devices, with implants intended for implantation in the upper and lower jaw in order to restore aesthetics and a patient's chewing function. The two-piece, sterile implants and abutments are manufactured from zirconium oxide. An internal cylindrical connection serves as an anti-rotation feature and mechanically locks the fixtures ensuring form- and force-fit connections. The implants and abutments are provided in similar diameters and lengths as the predicate devices. Implant surfaces are treated via grit blasting and acid etching processes. The Zeramex® abutments are fixed via an adhesive process which affixes the abutment to the implant, and in conjunction with the anti-rotational feature, prevents the abutments from being removed.

A comparison of the subject and predicate devices is provided below.

# Pre-Clinical Testing

Testing to support the safety and effectiveness of the devices included:

- . Fatigue testing in accordance with ISO 14801
- Surface chemical analysis ●
- Validation of cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization processes .
- Packaging and transport validation .

# Clinical Testing

A single-center, open-label, prospective clinical study was conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Zeramex® T dental implants. Partially edentulous, systemically healthy patients were enrolled in the study. A total of 49 implants spanning the range of offered diameters and lengths were placed in lower and upper jaw. The overall two-year cumulative survival rates 1 and 2 years after loading was 87%. The soft-tissue complication rate was 0%, the technical complication rate was 4%, the complication rate for bone loss greater than 2 mm was 0%, and the aesthetic complication rate was 0%.

# Conclusion

The results of the non-clinical and clinical testing support that the Zeramex® T Dental Implant System is safe and effective. Although minor differences in design and technology exist between the subject and predicate devices, the testing supports that these differences do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, it is concluded that the Zeramex® T Dental Implant System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
