Intended Use
The NobelZygoma TiUltra implants are endosseous dental implants intended to be surgically placed in the zygomatic bone to support a dental prosthesis in the upper arch, in order to restore patient esthetics and chewing function. The NobelZygoma Implants are appropriate for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading. The Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma are indicated to support the placement of multiple unit, screw-retained prosthetic restorations in the maxilla including full arch dentures. The NobelZygoma Multi-Unit Abutment Screws are indicated for use to secure a dental abutment or framework to a dental implant for supporting tooth replacements and are indicated as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.
Device Story
System comprises NobelZygoma TiUltra implants, Multi-unit Abutments (MUA) Xeal Zygoma, and fixation screws. Implants are surgically placed into zygomatic bone to support dental prostheses in edentulous/partially edentulous maxillae. Implants feature unalloyed titanium grade 4 construction, two-level anodized surface (Xeal/spark-anodized), and soluble salt layer for surface preservation. MUAs connect to implants to support screw-retained restorations; available in various angulations (0°, 17°, 45°, 60°). Screws fasten components to implants. Used in clinical dental settings by trained clinicians. Output is a stable foundation for prosthetic rehabilitation, restoring chewing function and esthetics. Benefits include multi-point support in severe bone resorption cases, enabling immediate loading protocols.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence includes systematic literature reviews, clinical studies, and post-market surveillance. Literature review of 176 zygomatic implants showed 97.4% survival for quad configurations. Two clinical studies (n=317) reported survival rates of 100% and 89.9%. 40 publications support safe clinical history of zygomatic implants. Post-market data (July 2024-May 2025) shows complaint rates comparable to predicate TiUnite implants. Clinical cases (n=16) reported no complications. Data on TiUltra family supports surface treatment safety.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Unalloyed titanium grade 4 (ASTM F67) for implants; Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F136) for abutments/screws. Surface: Anodic oxidation (anodization) with soluble salt (protective) layer. Design: Parallel-walled, threaded apex, 30-60mm lengths. Connection: External hex or conical connection. Sterilization: Gamma (SAL 10^-6). Connectivity: Standalone prosthetic system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with severe maxillary bone resorption requiring dental prosthesis support in the upper arch. Appropriate for immediate loading given sufficient primary stability. Contraindications not explicitly listed beyond standard surgical/prosthetic requirements.

## 1.7.5 Similarities between the Subject and the Predicate Device(s)
## Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants
The similarities between the Subject Device line NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants and the respective Predicate Devices (Primary Predicate, Reference Device #1, Reference Device #2, Reference Device #3 and Reference device #7) are as follows:
- The Intended Use of the Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra implants is identical to the Primary Predicate Device and Reference Device #1.
- The Indications for Use of the Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra implants are the same to the Primary Predicate Device (NobelZygoma 45° Implants), Reference Device #1 (NobelZygoma 0° Implants), Reference Device #2 (Zaga Zygomatic System) and Reference Device #3 (Noris Medical Zygomatic Implants) but conveyed with differences in choice of words.
- The Subject Implants, similar to the Reference Device #3 are intended for extra-maxillary placement.
- The Subject and Predicate Devices feature largely identical fundamental design. All Devices are parallel-walled implants with a threaded apex to anchor to the zygomatic bone.
- The Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra implants, similar to the Primary Predicate, the Reference Device #1 and the Reference Device #3 have an unthreaded shaft and collar and are available in 0° and/or 45° angulations. The Reference #2 features a 55° angulation at the head of the implant.
- The Subject Device, Primary Predicate and Reference Device #1 shared the same thread design, implant tip design and are made of unalloyed titanium grade 4 (per ASTM F67). The surface treatment is anodic oxidation for all these implants. The Reference Device #2 and the Reference Device #3 are also titanium-based implants (unalloyed titanium grade 4 and titanium alloy Ti6Al4V).
- The profiles of the Subject Implants are aligned across their entire length up to their respective connection interfaces and have a unified diameter (3.9mm shaft/apex and 4.3mm implant neck). The Subject Implants diameter is almost the same to the Primary Predicate diameter (3.95mm shaft, 3.9mm apex and 4.3mm implant neck). The Reference Device #2 presents a similar implant diameter with 4.3mm at the coronal region for the ZAGA round (or 4.3mm with 3.35 mm flat for the ZAGA flat) and 3.4 mm at the apical region. The Reference Device #3 also has a similar implant diameter (4.2mm neck and 3.5mm apex).

Nobel Biocare
- At the collar region all Nobel Biocare implants incorporate a regular platform width (RP). The Subject NobelZygoma 45° Ext Hex TiUltra Implant presents the same Ext Hex connection as the Primary Predicate, while the Subject NobelZygoma 0° CC TiUltra Implant features a Connical Connection similar to the Reference Device #7.
- The Subject Devices are pre-assembled and co-packed with an implant mount and implant mount screw similar to the Primary Predicate.
- The Subject and all Predicate Devices are single-use implants, provided sterile (gamma sterilization. All Nobel Biocare implants share the same Sterility Assurance Level (SAL 10⁻⁶), have a shelf-life of 5 years, and are sterilized in the same contract sterilizer(s).
## Subject Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma
The similarities between the Subject Device line Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma and the respective predicate and reference devices (Reference Devices #4, #5, #6 and #8) are as follows:
- The Subject Multi-Unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma have the same Intended Use and Indications as the predicate Multi-Unit Abutments (Reference Device #4, #5 and #6).
- The fundamental technology and essential geometry of the Subject Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma External Hex is largely the same as for the existing predicate and reference devices. The Subject Devices have the same angulation (straight and 17°, 45° and 60°), width, platform compatibility (RP) as the respective Reference Device (#4, #5 and #6).
- The Subject Devices are made from Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) same as the Reference Devices #5 and #6.
- All devices are provided sterile (gamma irradiation, SAL 10⁻⁶) and are single-use.
In addition, for Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma External Hex (Straight and 17°)
- Similarly to the Predicate Devices, the Subject Devices are co-packed with a multi-unit abutment screw and an abutment holder. The abutment holders do not remain in the patient and are made from the same materials as the respective abutment holder predicate and reference devices.
- The Subject straight and 17° MUAs, same as the predicate/reference devices, feature an external hexagonal connection and are used with compatible Nobel Biocare 45° zygomatic implants.
In addition, for Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma CC (45° and 60°)
- The Subject 45° and 60° MUAs, same as the predicate/reference devices, are used with compatible Nobel Biocare 0° zygomatic implants.
## Subject NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws

{31}
N
Nobel Biocare
The similarities between the Subject Device line NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws and the respective predicate and reference devices (Reference Devices #4, #5 and #6) are as follows:
- The Intended Use and Indications for use of the Subject Screws are the same as the respective Reference Devices (#4, #5 and #6).
- Like the Predicate/Reference Screws, the Subject Screws are pre-manufactured dental implant screws designed to fasten dental implant system components to a dental implant or to another component. The screw thread engages the internal thread of implant while the screw head engages the seat feature on abutment. Tightening of the screw applies compressive force between the implant and abutment.
- All Subject and Predicate/Reference Screws are made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and are partially DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coated. The Subject Screws feature the same screwdriver interphase as the respective Predicate/Reference Device.
- The Subject straight Screws are available in four sizes to fit the varied straight Multi-Unit Abutment heights, plus two single-sized screws for the $45^{\circ} / 60^{\circ}$ Multi-Unit Abutments and the $17^{\circ}$ Multi-Unit Abutments. The Subject Screw length for the $17^{\circ}$ MUAs is the same as the respective Reference Device #5.
- All Subject and Predicate/Reference Screws are single-use and available co-packed with the respective Multi-unit Abutments. When co-packed with the respective MUAs, all screws are sterile (gamma irradiation, SAL $10^{-6}$ ) and in the same packaging system with a shelf-life of 5 year. The Subject Screws are also available individually packed (sterile version). Reference Devices #5 and #6 are also available individually packed (non-sterile).
# 1.7.6 Differences Between the Subject and Predicate Device(s)
## Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants
There are no significant differences between the Subject Device line NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants and the respective Predicate/Reference Devices but there are minor differences as follows:
- A different choice of words on the instructions for immediate loading included in the Indications for Use of the Subject NobelZygoma $45^{\circ}$ Ext Hex TiUltra is provided when compared to the Primary Predicate (NobelZygoma $45^{\circ}$ Implants). The indications for use of the Subject Devices includes the zygomatic bone for consistency with the anatomical placement of the device.

Nobel Biocare
- The Subject Implants and Reference Device #3 are intended for extra-maxillary applications, whereas the Primary Predicate and Reference Devices #1 and #2 are intended for a broader range of clinical applications, including intra-sinus applications.
- While the overall macro-design of the Subject Devices and the respective predicate and reference devices is the same,
- the diameter of the Subject NobelZygoma 0° TiUltra is unified with the 45° angulated zygomatic implants and is smaller when compared to the diameter of the Reference Device #1 (NobelZygoma 0° Implants).
- the Subject NobelZygoma 0° TiUltra Implant feature a conical connection similar to the Reference Device #3 and the Reference Device #7.
- the Subject NobelZygoma 45° Implants introduces a modified implant mount design with an overall slimmer design and a more compact connection interface when compared to the Primary Predicate. In addition, The Subject NobelZygoma 0° CC TiUltra is also provided assembled with a new compatible implant mount and screw.
- The Subject Devices are available in implant lengths of up to 60 mm, similar to Reference Device #2.
These modifications do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The implant length range of the Subject Devices (from 30mm to 60mm) is the same as that of the Reference Device #2. The additional lengths and modified features were tested whenever deemed to represent a worst-case. Worst-case fatigue testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Subject Device performs at least as well as the defined benchmark reference system and that the difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
- The Subject Implants introduce a modified surface topography (TiUltra) with a soluble salt (protective) layer as surface preservation. This TiUltra surface technology, consisting of a multi-level surface topography and including a soluble salt (protective) layer, is already applied to existing Nobel Biocare TiUltra dental implants (e.g., Reference Device #7).
- Comparison with Reference Device #7:
The Subject Devices have a two-level surface topography, compared to the three-level topography of Reference Device #7 (different intended use and indications). The surface roughness of the two-level design falls within the roughness range of the three-level surface. The soluble salt (protective) layer in the Subject Devices is identical in composition and concentration to that of Reference Device #7.
- Comparison with Reference Device #3:

Nobel Biocare
Both zygomatic implants are unthreaded at the shaft/collar area (Level 1). The Subject Devices exhibit a rougher surface at Level 1, as demonstrated by comparative verification testing.
- Surface Treatment Comparison:
The Subject Devices, along with the Primary Predicate, Reference Device #1 and Reference Device #7 are anodized. In contrast, Reference Device #3 features a machined surface at the coronal/shaft region and a resorbable blast media surface treatment at the distal region.
The TiUltra surface of the Subject Devices does not raise new questions regarding substantial equivalence. This is supported by comparative roughness verification testing with Reference Device #3. Real-world evidence (RWE) on the Subject Devices, along with clinical data comparing NobelReplace CC PMC (machined collar) and NobelReplace CC TiUnite (anodized collar), as well as clinical data on the Nobel Biocare TiUltra implant family, support the surface treatment of the Subject Devices at Level 1. This is further supported by worst-case fatigue testing, biocompatibility evaluation, and sterility and packaging performance.
- The Subject Devices present a single-sterile barrier packaging configuration similar to Nobel Biocare N1 TiUltra Implants (K211109).
