Indications for Use
The UCLA Abutments and Cement-On Abutments are designed for use with commercially available dental implant systems. These abutments are straight abutments and are NOT angled abutinents. The abutments will scat directly on implants and are sub-structure of prosthesis. Some abutments are used as pattern in dental laboratory to make prosthesis, such as UCLA Plastic Cylinders.
Device Story
DíamoDent UCLA and Cement-On Abutments serve as interface components between endosseous dental implants and final dental prostheses. Devices are straight abutments designed to seat directly onto compatible implant platforms from various manufacturers (Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Dentsply/Friadent, 3i). Some variants, such as UCLA Plastic Cylinders, function as patterns in dental laboratories for prosthesis fabrication. Used by dental professionals in clinical and laboratory settings to restore missing teeth; abutments provide structural support for crowns or bridges. Benefit includes restoration of dental function and aesthetics through standardized mechanical connection to existing implant systems.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Straight dental abutments designed for compatibility with specific Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Dentsply/Friadent, and 3i implant systems. Materials include metal and plastic (UCLA Plastic Cylinders). Mechanical connection via direct seating on implants. Non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as straight abutments for dental implant systems to serve as a sub-structure for dental prostheses. Compatible with specific Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Dentsply/Friadent, and 3i implant systems. Prescription use only.
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.
