Intended Use
The implants are intended for both one- and two-stage surgical procedures in the following situations and with the following clinical protocols: - Replacing missing teeth in single or multiple unit applications in the mandible or maxilla. - Immediate placement in extraction sites and in situations with a partially or completely healed alveolar ridge. - Especially indicated for use in soft bone applications with other implant surface treatments may be less effective. • Immediate and early loading for all indications, except in single tooth situations on implant shorter than 8 mm or in soft bone (type 4) where implant stability may be difficult to obtain, and immediate loading may not be appropriate. · The intended use for PrimeTaper EV Ø3.0 is limited to replacement of maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors.
Device Story
Root-form endosseous dental implants and compatible prosthetic abutments; used by dental clinicians for prosthetic restoration of chewing function in edentulous/partially edentulous human jaws. Implants (Ø3.0 mm) feature tapered, threaded design with TiO2 blasted/acid-etched surface and EV conical connection. Abutments (XS size) include TiDesign, MultiBase, TempAbutment, Healing Abutment, HealDesign, Cover Screw, and Abutment Screw. Devices are placed surgically in clinic; abutments support crowns, bridges, or overdentures. Provides stable foundation for prosthetic rehabilitation; benefits patients with limited alveolar space requiring narrow-diameter implants. MRI conditional.
Clinical Evidence
No new human clinical studies performed. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing and literature review of 200 narrow-diameter implants (3.0 mm) across four clinical trials (1-5 year follow-up). Literature reported mean survival rates >98% and stable marginal bone levels, supporting safety/efficacy for narrow-diameter implants in limited alveolar space.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Commercially pure titanium (ASTM F67-13) for implants; Titanium alloy for abutments/screws; PEEK for abutment holders. Design: Tapered, threaded root-form implant with TiO2 blasted/acid-etched surface. Connection: Internal conical with indexes (EV). Dimensions: Ø3.0 mm implant; XS abutment size. Sterilization: E-beam irradiation (sterile) or steam sterilization (non-sterile).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dental implants for single or multiple tooth replacement in mandible or maxilla, including immediate placement/loading. PrimeTaper EV Ø3.0 limited to maxillary lateral and mandibular incisors. Abutments indicated for support of crowns, bridges, or overdentures in fully or partially edentulous arches.

#### 5. Indications for Use:
The proposed Indications for Use for the proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implant Ø3.0 is:
The implants are intended for both one- and two-stage surgical procedures in the following situations and with the following clinical protocols:
- Replacing missing teeth in single or multiple unit applications in the mandible or maxilla. .
- Immediate placement in extraction sites and in situations with a partially or completely ● healed alveolar ridge.
- . Especially indicated for use in soft bone applications where implants with other implant surface treatments may be less effective.
- Immediate and early loading for all indications, except in single tooth situations on . implant shorter than 8 mm or in soft bone (type 4) where implant stability may be difficult to obtain, and immediate loading may not be appropriate.
- . The intended use for PrimeTaper EV Ø3.0 is limited to replacement of maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors.
All proposed (B) DS Implants abutments with EV connection XS, with the exception of the MultiBase EV abutment, fall under the first indications for Use statement below. The second Indications for Use statement applies to the proposed (B) MultiBase EV (XS) abutment.
#### DS Implants abutments with EV connection XS:
DS Implants abutments provided with the EV connection are intended to be used in conjunction with implants with the EV connection in fully edentulous or partially edentulous maxillary and/or mandibular arches to provide support for crowns, bridges or overdentures.
#### MultiBase Abutment EV (XS):
DS Implants abutments provided with the EV connection are intended to be used in conjunction with implants with the EV connection in fully edentulous or partially edentulous maxillary and/or mandibular arches to provide support for bridges or overdentures.
{8}------------------------------------------------
#### 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
The proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implants size Ø3.0 and proposed (B) DS Implants abutments with EV connection XS are a line extension to and are based on the design of the reference device PrimeTaper EV Dental Implant cleared in K210610 and the Predicate (B) DS Implants Abutments cleared in K213449, respectively, to add a new small diameter size (Ø 3 mm).
For the proposed (B) abutments, a new worst-case abutment is introduced. Although the proposed (B) TiDesign EV abutment (XS) comes in the same angulation (maximum of 15°) and specifications as the predicate (B) abutments, the smaller XS diameter makes it a new worst-case abutment. In addition, the TempAbutment has a smaller abutment height compared with the predicate (B) abutments. All other design features remain unchanged and the remaining proposed (B) abutments are within the range of the predicate (B) abutments.
An overview of the similarities and differences between the proposed devices (A) and (B) and predicate devices (A) and (B) is given in Table 1 through Table 3 below. A discussion of the similarities and differences follows the tables.

The proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implants size Ø3.0 and the predicate (A) Astra Tech EV Implants Ø3.0 (K120414) have the same intended use, very similar indications for use and similar manufacturing, packaging, and sterilization processes. The minor modifications for use does not alter the intended use of the proposed (A) devices as compared to predicate (A) devices (K120414). The proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implants size Ø3.0 and the Predicate (A) Astra Tech EV Implants Ø3.0 (K120414) encompass the same range of technological characteristics, including implant length, surface treatment and the abutment connection interface. The proposed (A) PrimeTaper EV Dental Implants size Ø3.0 share the same overall implant design. including outer thread design, as the reference device PrimeTaper EV Dental Implant (K210610).
Table 3 compares the Atlantis healing abutment that is compatible with the proposed (A) implant to the Atlantis healing abutment that was cleared in K193529, compatible with the MIS NP/SP/WP implants. K193529 was specific to compatibility with the MIS Conical Connection implants but besides the implant interface connection of the healing abutment and additional screw access for the MIS implants, there are no differences between the Atlantis Healing Abutment cleared in K193529 and the Atlantis Healing Abutment that is compatible with the proposed (A) implant.
