Implants are surgically placed into the mandible or maxilla by a dental professional. The device acts as an artificial root structure to anchor fixed bridgework, dentures, or single crowns. Benefits include restoration of oral function and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth. The system is used in a clinical dental setting. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Machined titanium alloy (ASTM F136, UNS R56401). Root-form geometry. Diameters: 3.45mm, 3.75mm, 4mm, 4.75mm. Lengths: 8mm, 10mm, 11.5mm, 13mm, 15mm. Sterilization: Radiation (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137). ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Minimatic (BioLok International) Various Implant Systems ([K952905](/device/K952905.md)) ## Related Devices - [K181477](/device/K181477.md) — MS Lide Implant Systems · Hangzhou Minsheng Lide Medical Science & Technology Co., Ltd. · Oct 20, 2020 - [K060376](/device/K060376.md) — SIMPLER HA THREADED, ST 5002-8, SIT 5002-8, ST 5011-ST5014, ST 5021-24 · Simpler Implant, Inc. · Apr 25, 2006 - [K161281](/device/K161281.md) — Dentalis Bio Solution Implants · Dentalis Bio Solution Implants, LLC · Jan 11, 2017 - [K111003](/device/K111003.md) — BIODENTA DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM - BONE LEVEL · Biodenta Swiss AG · Sep 15, 2011 - [K062030](/device/K062030.md) — US SYSTEM · Osstem Implant Co., Ltd. · Nov 2, 2006 ## Submission Summary (Full Text) {0}------------------------------------------------ K081818 # 510(k) Summary 21 CFR 807.92 ## Submitter's Name & Address | Manufacturer: | BioHorizons Implant Systems, Inc.<br>2300 Riverchase Center<br>Birmingham, AL 35244<br>Phone: (205) 967-7880<br>Fax: (205) 870-0304 | |-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Official contact: | Michael Davis, Regulatory Affairs Specialist | | Date prepared: | June 25, 2008 | # NOV 1 3 2008 ### Name of the Device | Trade Name: | BioLok Micro-Lok Implant System | |------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Common or Usual Name: | Screw-type Dental Implants | | Classification Name: | Endosseous implants, surgical components, and prosthetic<br>attachments | | Classification Number: | Class II | ### Predicate Device The Minimatic (BioLok International) Various Implant Systems, documented under 510(k) number K952905, concurrence date of April 16, 1997. ### Device Description The BioHorizons BioLok Micro-Lok dental implants are machined titanium, root-form implants supplied in 3.45mm, 3.75mm, 4mm, and 4.75mm diameters across lengths of 8mm, 10mm, 11,5mm, 13mm, and 15mm. Implant and accessory surgical component raw material is titanium alloy as specified in ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401). The product is packaged using materials known in the industry to be appropriate for medical device packaging and is provided with a minimum sterility assurance level of 10°, validated in compliance to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137, Sterilization of healthcare products - Requirements for validation and routine control - Radiation Sterilization. ### Intended Use The intended use of the BioHorizons BioLok Micro-Lok endosseous implants is in the mandible and maxilla as an artificial root structure for single tooth replacement or as abutments for fixed bridgework and denture retention. ### Technological Characteristics The fundamental scientific technology of the device is identical to the referenced predicate device. All materials and specifications (with the exception of the particular ASTM standard titanium specified in the original 510(k) submission), processing and sterilization methods remain the same as for the predicate Minimatic endosseous implants. The material has not changed to a type that has not been used in other legally marketed devices within the same classification regulation for the same intended use. The BioHorizons BioLok Micro-Lok implants are substantially equivalent to all features of the predicate Minimatic (BioLok International) Various Implant System device which could affect safety or effectiveness because of the similarities in design, material and intended use. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
