Intended Use

Straumann® dental implants are indicated for oral endosteal implantation in the upper and lower jaw and for the functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate patients. Straumann dental implants can also be used for immediate or early implantation following extraction or loss of natural teeth. Implants can be placed with immediate function on single-tooth and/or multiple tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function. The prosthetic restorations used are single crowns, bridges and partial or full dentures, which are connected to the implants by the corresponding elements (abutments). In cases of fully edentulous patients, 4 or more implants must be used in immediately loaded cases.

Device Story

Straumann Bone Level Tapered Implants are endosseous dental implants designed for surgical placement into the jawbone by dental professionals. The device serves as an artificial root to support prosthetic restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures. The implants feature a tapered apical thread design with cutting flutes to facilitate placement into the osteotomy site. The device is provided with a snap-fit Loxim transfer piece to assist in handling and insertion. The implants are available in various diameters and lengths, manufactured from commercially pure titanium or titanium-zirconium alloy (Roxolid). By providing a stable foundation in the bone, the implants restore chewing function and improve esthetics for patients with missing teeth. The device is used in a clinical setting; the healthcare provider evaluates the patient's bone quality and stability to determine suitability for immediate or early loading protocols.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Dynamic fatigue performance was evaluated consistent with FDA guidance and ISO 14801 standards. No clinical data was required or provided to support this 510(k) submission.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Grade 4 CP Titanium (ISO 5832-2) or Ti-13Zr alloy (Roxolid). Transfer piece: Ti-6Al-7Nb (ISO 5832-11). Design: Endosseous root-form implant with tapered apical thread and cutting flutes. Surface: SLA or SLActive. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation (25 kGy min, SAL 10^-6). Dimensions: 3.3-4.8mm diameter, 8-16mm length. Connection: CrossFit (NC/RC).

Indications for Use

Indicated for oral endosteal implantation in upper/lower jaw for functional/esthetic rehabilitation of edentulous or partially dentate patients. Suitable for immediate/early implantation post-extraction/tooth loss. Supports immediate function on single/multiple tooth applications with good primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading. Prosthetic options include crowns, bridges, and partial/full dentures. For fully edentulous patients, minimum 4 implants required for immediate loading.

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.
