Intended Use
The ZERAMEX® XT Dental Implant System is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper and lower jaw to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore aesthetics and chewing function. The ZERAMEX® XT Dental Implant System can be used for single or multiple unit restorations. The ZERAMEX® XT Dental Implants are indicated for delayed loading. The ZERAMEX® XT dental implants are specially indicated for patients with metal allergies/intolerances and chronic illnesses due to metal allergies/ intolerances.
Device Story
The Zeramex® XT and NobelPearl Dental Implant Systems are two-piece endosseous dental implants designed for surgical placement in the jawbone to support prosthetic restorations. The system includes implants, abutments, healing caps, and gingivaformers. Implants feature a 'bolt-in tube' internal connection with four retention elements for anti-rotation. Components are manufactured from aluminum-toughened zirconia; abutments are secured to implants using carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK-Optima™ Ultra VICARBO® screws, creating a ceramic-on-ceramic connection. The device is used by dental professionals in a clinical setting. The system provides a metal-free alternative for patients with metal allergies or intolerances. Clinical benefit is derived from restoring aesthetics and chewing function through stable prosthetic support.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance was validated through fatigue testing per ISO 14801:2007. Biocompatibility, sterilization, and surface characteristics were leveraged from predicate devices (Zeramex® T and P6) due to identical materials and surface treatments.
Technological Characteristics
Two-piece endosseous dental implant system. Materials: Aluminum-toughened zirconia (ISO 6474-1:2010, ISO 6872:2015) and carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK-Optima™ Ultra VICARBO®. Connection: 'Bolt-in tube' internal connection with four retention elements. Sterilization: Moist heat (ISO 17665-1, ISO/TS 17665-2). Dimensions: Diameters 4.2mm/5.5mm; lengths 8mm-14mm. Abutments: Straight and 15° angled.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dental implants for single or multiple unit restorations in the upper or lower jaw to support prosthetic devices. Specifically indicated for patients with metal allergies/intolerances and associated chronic illnesses. Implants are indicated for delayed loading.
Regulatory Classification

The NobelPearl Dental Implant System may be restored with screw retained NobelPearl abutments. The NobelPearl Dental Implant System are placed using the NobelPearl surgical tools.
The implants, abutments, and surgical tools for the Zeramex® XT and NobelPearl Dental Implant Systems are exactly the same; two trade names are being used for marketing purposes.
The implants, produced from aluminum toughened zirconia (conforming to ISO 6474-1:2010 Implants for Surgery - Ceramic Materials and ISO 6872:2015 Dentistry - Ceramic Materials), are provided sterile in two (2) diameters (0 4.2 mm (RB), and 5.5 mm (WB)) and three (3) lengths (8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm). The Ø 4.2 mm implant is also provided in 14 mm. The implants are designed with a "bolt-in tube" internal connection which provide anti-rotational features.
Straight and angular (15°) screw retained abutments, provided non-sterile in two sizes (RB; Ø 5.0 mm and SB, Ø 6.0 mm), are compatible for use with the system implants. The straight and angular abutments are made from the same zirconium materials as the system implants.
The screw retained abutments fit within four (4) retention elements and are affixed to the implant with a carbon fiber reinforced PEEK-Optima™ Ultra VICARBO® screw (straight) which fits the internal thread of the implant and provides a secure, screw retained ceramic on ceramic connection.
Healing caps and gingivaformers are also provided in the system. These components, provided in two sizes, are manufactured from PEEK and are connected to the implant using a screw. Provisional restoration components may be used to support temporary crowns after the healing period. The provisional restorations and the provisional restoration screws are made of carbon fiber reinforced PEEK.

## Discussion
The technological difference between the subject and predicate devices does not raise new questions. As seen above, the Zeramex® XT and NobelPearl Dental Implant Systems have the same indications for use, materials of construction, design, size, surface treatment, and sterilization methods as the predicate devices. The data within this submission support that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
#### VII. Performance Data
As the subject devices are a line extension to the Zeramex® Implant Systems, verification activities, as identified through risk analysis, were conducted to written protocols with predefined acceptance criteria.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Fatigue testing in accordance with ISO 14801 Second Edition 2007-11-15 Dentistry-Implants-Dynamic Fatigue Test for Endosseous Dental Implants was conducted on the subject devices, Zeramex® XT and NobelPearl Dental Implant Systems. The fatigue testing as conducted in saline because of the ceramic/polymer device composition.
The following performance tests, conducted on the predicate devices, are being leveraged in support of this submission:
- shelf-life, packaging, and transport validation studies:
- cleaning and sterilization validation; ●
- o ISO 17665-1 First Edition 2006-08-15 Sterilization of Health Care Products -Moist Heat - Part 1: Requirements For The Development, Validation And Routine Control Of A Sterilization Process For Medical Devices;

- o ISO 6872 Fourth Edition 2015-06-01 Dentistry Ceramic Materials.
- bacterial endotoxin testing (LAL Method); ●
- analysis of surface composition; and
- surface roughness and contact angle testing.
## Clinical Studies
Data supporting the Zeramex® T Dental Implant System and Zeramex® P6 Dental Implant System are applicable to the subject devices as the products are made from the same materials, undergo the same surface treatments, and have the same outer design. Fatigue testing supports that the subject devices can withstand clinically relevant forces.
## VIII. Conclusion
Based on the above information, the Zeramex® XT and NobelPearl Implant Systems can be considered substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
{9}------------------------------------------------
Although minor differences in design and technology exist between the subject and predicate devices, substantial equivalence has been demonstrated through a comparison of intended use, design, technological characteristics, and performance evaluations. Therefore, the Zeramex® XT and NobelPearl Dental Implant Systems are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
