Indications for Use
This device is designed to provide immediate transitional splinting stability or fixation of new or existing crown, bridge and denture installations in partially or fully edentulous patients. It is indicated for a maximum of one year.
Device Story
Intra-Lock Transitional Implant System consists of root form dental implants and restorative components; used for cement-retained or removable overdenture restorations. Implants measure 1.8mm width by 8, 10, or 15mm length. System includes placement instrument; provided sterile. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to provide temporary stabilization or fixation of dental prosthetics. Benefits include immediate transitional support for patients during healing or prior to permanent restoration. Device is intended for short-term use (max one year).
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Root form dental implants; 1.8mm diameter; 8, 10, 15mm lengths. Sterile packaging. Includes placement instrument. Class III device per 21 CFR 872.3640.
Indications for Use
Indicated for partially or fully edentulous patients requiring immediate transitional splinting stability or fixation of new or existing crown, bridge, and denture installations for a maximum duration of one year.
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.
