Indications for Use
The Endopore Implant is indicated for use in the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for a dental prosthesis.
Device Story
The Hybrid Endopore Endosseous Dental Implant System is a dental implant designed for placement in the upper or lower jaw to support dental prostheses. It functions as an endosseous implant, providing a stable foundation for restorative dentistry. The device is a modification of the previously cleared Endopore system, featuring the addition of three self-tapping threads in the coronal region to facilitate direct placement via a threaded-screw design. It is intended for use by dental professionals in a clinical setting. The device provides mechanical support for prosthetic devices, benefiting patients requiring tooth replacement by anchoring the prosthesis to the jawbone.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design and technological characteristics compared to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Endosseous dental implant; features three self-tapping threads in the coronal region; threaded-screw design. Dimensions: 9.5 mm and 11 mm length x 4.0 mm diameter; 7.5 mm and 9.5 mm length x 5.0 mm diameter. Materials and fundamental technology are identical to previously cleared Endopore implants.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an endosseous dental implant in the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for prosthetic devices.
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.
