Indications for Use
For use in cement retained crown and bridge construction. The following table describes the indication for use for each component listed as part of this 510(k) submission: Cast-to Abutment 3.5 (22827): Used as a base for cast-to customized abutment post construction. Allowing for compensation of poorly aligned fixtures and for meeting esthetic demands for design and position of the crown margin. Cast-to Abutment 4.0 (22828): Used as a base for cast-to customized abutment post construction. Allowing for compensation of poorly aligned fixtures and for meeting esthetic demands for design and position of the crown margin. Cast-to Abutment ST (22829): Used as a base for cast-to customized abutment post construction. Allowing for compensation of poorly aligned fixtures and for meeting esthetic demands for design and position of the crown margin. Abutment Screw, Ultra-gold (sterile) (22838): Attachment element for connection/fixation of abutments to fixtures. Abutment Screw, ST- gold (sterile) (22839): Attachment element for connection/fixation of abutments to fixtures.
Device Story
Astra Tech Implants additional components include gold alloy Cast-to Abutments and gold alloy Abutment Screws; used as base for customized abutment post construction in cement-retained crown and bridge dental procedures; allows compensation for poorly aligned fixtures and adjustment of crown margin position/esthetics; screws serve as attachment elements for fixture-abutment fixation; used by dental professionals in clinical settings; components integrate into existing Astra Tech Dental Implant System.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Gold alloy. Components: Cast-to abutments (diameters 4.5mm, 5.5mm) and gold abutment screws (diameter 2.6mm). Function: Mechanical attachment and customized post base. Sterilization: Provided sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring cement-retained crown and bridge dental restorations, specifically for the construction of customized abutment posts to compensate for fixture misalignment and address esthetic margin positioning.
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.
