Indications for Use
The Orthodontic Temporary Anchorage Implant Screws are intended to provide a fixed anchorage point for the attachment of intraoral orthodontic appliances to facilitate the orthodontic movement of teeth. They are intended for temporary use and should be removed after orthodontic treatment has been completed. The screws are intended for single use only.
Device Story
Orthodontic Temporary Anchorage Implant Screws provide fixed anchorage for intraoral orthodontic appliances; facilitate tooth movement. Screws available in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm lengths; feature self-tapping threads, dual socket/slot head design for insertion via screwdriver or socket driver; neck includes .022 hole for auxiliary attachment. Highly polished surface prevents osseointegration; intended for immediate loading. Used by orthodontists in clinical settings; non-sterile, requiring steam sterilization before use. Single-use only; removed post-treatment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Titanium (ASTM F136). Design: Self-tapping threads, dual socket/slot head, .022 neck hole. Sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm. Sterilization: Steam sterilization (user-performed).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring fixed anchorage points for orthodontic appliances to facilitate tooth movement. Intended for temporary use; removed upon completion of orthodontic treatment.
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.
