Device Story

Sendax MDI is a self-tapping titanium threaded screw (1.8mm width; 14-22mm lengths) used as an endosseous dental implant. Device provides immediate transitional splinting stability or ongoing fixation for crown, bridge, and denture installations. Used in clinical dental settings by practitioners to support prostheses in partially or fully edentulous patients. Minimally invasive surgical intervention; screw provides mechanical fixation within bone. Benefits include improved patient comfort, speech, and mastication; serves as an introductory system for patients to experience bone-anchored implants without major commitment to final restorations.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence based on a twenty-year prospective clinical study commencing in 1976 by Sendax & associates. Study demonstrated consistent quality and quantity of survival, confirming the safety and efficacy of the Sendax insertion/reconstructive protocol.

Technological Characteristics

Self-tapping threaded screw; material: cp titanium or titanium alloy; dimensions: 1.8mm width, 14-22mm lengths; mechanical fixation principle; intended for intra-bony and inter-radicular placement.

Indications for Use

Indicated for intra-bony and inter-radicular transitional applications to provide immediate splinting stability and ongoing fixation of new or existing crown and bridge installations in partially or fully edentulous patients. Includes temporary support for prostheses during conventional implant integration, stabilization of interim prostheses in graft sites, and as an introductory system for apprehensive patients or interim support for medically compromised, handicapped, or terminally ill patients.

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.
