Indications for Use
The Intra-Lock Hydroxyapatite Coated Implants have been designed to restore partially or fully edentulous patients. The implants have been designed to be used in either the mandible or maxilla and to support removable or fixed prosthesis, from single tooth replacement to full arch reconstruction.
Device Story
Intra-Lock Hydroxyapatite Coated Implants are root-form dental implants manufactured from commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) with a hydroxyapatite coating. Available in threaded or smooth cylindrical designs, these implants are surgically placed into the mandible or maxilla by dental professionals to support fixed or removable dental prostheses. They serve as anchors for tooth replacement, ranging from single-tooth restorations to full-arch reconstructions. The device functions as a mechanical support structure for prosthetic dentistry, facilitating osseointegration through its hydroxyapatite-coated surface. Clinical benefit includes restoration of oral function and aesthetics for edentulous patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The submission relies on demonstrating conformity with the FDA's 'Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Abutments' to establish safety and effectiveness.
Technological Characteristics
Root-form dental implants; material: CP Ti with hydroxyapatite coating; designs: threaded or smooth cylindrical; intended for endosseous placement in mandible or maxilla.
Indications for Use
Indicated for partially or fully edentulous patients requiring restoration in the mandible or maxilla; supports removable or fixed prosthesis ranging from single tooth replacement to full arch reconstruction.
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.
