Indications for Use
The bonding base serves as an attachment surface for the cementing of orthodontic brackets.
Device Story
Titanium bonding base; attaches to ITI Octa system via internal icositetrahedron (24 facets) for 15° angulation steps. Features eccentric bonding surfaces for variable distances between implant axis and bonding surface. Orthodontic bracket cemented to base; acts as anchor for orthodontic forces. Used in posterior oral cavity; removed post-treatment for standard prosthetic restoration. Physician-operated; facilitates orthodontic treatment in patients with dental implants.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Titanium. Design: 5.5 mm and 6.5 mm heights, 6.8 mm width. Internal icositetrahedron (24 facets) for seating on Octabutment. Axial screw channel for attachment. Mechanical device; no software or electronics.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use with a standard ITI implant placed in the posterior oral cavity, to serve as a base for orthodontic attachment during orthodontic treatment.
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.
