Indications for Use
Simpact Dental Implant System is intended for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multiple-unit restorations including; cement retained terminal or intermediate abutment support for fixed bridgework. The Simpact implant is a threaded/tapered internal connection implant. The Simpact implant is intended for immediate placement, where immediate implant placement is defined by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) as the placement of an implant at the time of tooth extraction, into the extraction socket. The Simpact implant is intended for immediate provisional loading when primary stability and proper occlusion are present. Immediate Provisionalization is defined by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) as a clinical protocol for the placement of an interim prosthesis with occlusal contact with the opposing dentition, at the same clinical visit of implant placement. The Simpact implant can be restored with a temporary prosthesis in single tooth and multiple tooth applications.
Device Story
SIMPACT Endosseous Dental Implant is a threaded, tapered internal connection implant used in dental surgery. Designed for placement in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae; supports single or multiple-unit restorations, including cement-retained fixed bridgework. Supports immediate placement protocols (at time of tooth extraction) and immediate provisional loading (interim prosthesis placement at same visit) provided primary stability and proper occlusion exist. Used by dental clinicians in clinical settings. Device provides structural foundation for prosthetic teeth; benefits patients by enabling immediate restoration of function and aesthetics following tooth extraction.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, material, and intended use comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Threaded/tapered internal connection endosseous dental implant. Materials and design are similar to predicate devices. No specific ASTM standards or software/algorithm components described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for partially or fully edentulous patients requiring single or multiple-unit restorations, including cement-retained fixed bridgework. Suitable for immediate placement into extraction sockets and immediate provisional loading when primary stability and proper occlusion are achieved.
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.
