Intended Use

The RePlus Dental Implants with HA coating are dental implant fixtures that are a part of a two-piece implant system. The RePlus implants are intended for use in the mandible and maxilla, in support of single or multiple-unit cement or screw receiving fixed restorations and for retention and support of overdentures. The implants are intended for immediate loading for support of single tooth and/or multiple tooth restorations, provided initial implant stability and appropriate occlusal load requirements are met.

Device Story

RePlus Dental Implants are two-piece, tapered, screw-type endosseous dental implants; manufactured from medical-grade titanium alloy; feature standard 'V' thread configuration with 2mm mini-threads; surface treated with hydroxyapatite (HA) plasma spray. Used by dental clinicians in the mandible or maxilla to support fixed restorations or overdentures. Implants provide structural foundation for prosthetic teeth; immediate loading permitted when clinical stability and occlusal criteria are satisfied. Benefits include restoration of dental function and aesthetics.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and design comparison to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Two-piece endosseous dental implant system; medical-grade titanium alloy; HA plasma sprayed surface; tapered screw-type geometry; standard 'V' thread configuration; 2mm mini-threads.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring dental implant fixtures in the mandible or maxilla for support of single or multiple-unit fixed restorations (cement or screw-retained) or overdentures. Supports immediate loading if initial stability and occlusal load requirements are met.

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.

Dear Mr. Gottenbos:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
