Indications for Use
As an artificial root structure for single tooth replacement of mandibular central and lateral incisors and maxillary lateral incisors. The implant may be immediately restored with a temporary prosthesis that is not in functional occlusion. When splinted together as an artificial root structure for multiple tooth replacement of mandibular incisors. The implants may be restored after a period of time or placed in immediate function. For denture stabilization using multiple implants in the anterior mandible and maxilla. The implants may be restored after a period of time or placed in immediate function when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.
Device Story
I-Mini Dental Implant is a self-tapping threaded screw; functions as an artificial root structure for dental prosthetics. Fabricated from CP Titanium or Titanium Alloy; features light grit-blasted or roughened surface. Used by dental clinicians in clinical settings for single/multiple tooth replacement or denture stabilization. Implant placed into jawbone; provides foundation for temporary or permanent prostheses. Immediate restoration possible for single teeth (non-functional occlusion) or multiple teeth/dentures (if primary stability achieved). Benefits include restoration of dental function and stabilization of dentures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material comparison.
Technological Characteristics
Self-tapping threaded screw; CP Titanium or Titanium Alloy; light grit-blasted or roughened surface treatment. Mechanical device; no energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for single tooth replacement (mandibular central/lateral incisors, maxillary lateral incisors), multiple tooth replacement (mandibular incisors), and denture stabilization (anterior mandible/maxilla).
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.
