## Indications for Use

Bone filling and/or augmentation of the alveolar ridge.

## Device Story

PermaMesh-D is a synthetic hydroxylapatite bone graft material; composed of high-purity, radiopaque, 1000-micron diameter beads; organized into a flat, flexible, cloth-like woven sheet using absorbable suture. Device serves as a scaffold for bone filling and augmentation of the alveolar ridge. Implanted by clinicians during surgical procedures to support bone regeneration.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on material composition and physical characteristics.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: 100% synthetic hydroxylapatite (HA) beads. Conforms to ASTM F1185 for trace elements. Calcium to phosphorus mole ratio: 1.68. Form factor: woven sheet/cloth-like structure held by absorbable suture. Radiopaque.

## Regulatory Identification

Bone grafting material is a material such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, polylactic and polyglycolic acids, or collagen, that is intended to fill, augment, or reconstruct periodontal or bony defects of the oral and maxillofacial region.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for bone grafting materials that do not contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic. The special control is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Bone Grafting Material Devices.” (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2) Class III (premarket approval) for bone grafting materials that contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic. Bone grafting materials that contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic, such as biological response modifiers, require premarket approval.
(c)
*Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required.* Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

2.  **Device Name:**
PermaMesh-D Hydroxylapatite Matrix, 1000 microns
Classification Name: Endosseous implant for bone filling and/or augmentation

3.  **Predicate Device:**
PermaRidge
PermaMesh

4.  **Device Description:**
PermaMesh-D is a synthetic form of hydroxylapatite, the major mineral component of tooth enamel and bone, produced in the form of a woven sheet. It is manufactured as high purity, radiopaque, rounded particles sized at 1000 microns diameter and organized into a flat, flexible clothlike form by means of absorbable suture.

5.  **Intended Use:**
Bone filling and/or augmentation of the alveolar ridge.

6.  **Comparison of Product Characteristics:**
PermaMesh-D consists of 100% synthetic hydroxylapatite beads strung on absorbable suture.

X-ray diffraction shows PermaMesh-D beads to be 100% HA. The hydroxylapatite component of PermaMesh-D conforms to ASTM Standard # F1185, "Standard Specification for Composition of Ceramic Hydroxylapatite for Surgical Implants", for trace elements. Typical calcium to phosphorus mole ratio is 1.68.
