Indications for Use
The SIMPLI Simpler Implant System is indicated for use in surgical and restorative applications for placement of implants in the mandible and maxilla to provide support for prosthetic devices such as artificial teeth to provide chewing function to a patient with missing teeth. It is also indicated for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.
Device Story
SIMPLI Simpler is a threaded, endosseous dental implant system used to replace missing teeth. Designed for surgical and restorative applications in mandible and maxilla; supports prosthetic devices (artificial teeth) to restore chewing function. Features include narrow threads for increased surface area and an abutment with a 25-degree slope on one side, allowing up to 50 degrees of divergence between two implants to facilitate impression taking. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings. Device provides structural support for prosthetics; benefits patients by restoring oral function. Operates via standard surgical protocols for dental implants.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing performed. Safety and effectiveness supported by bench testing (torque testing up to 100NCm) and historical clinical performance of the predicate Simpler system, which has been used globally for over 20 years without recalls or non-compliance issues.
Technological Characteristics
Threaded, endosseous dental implant. Features narrow thread geometry and 25-degree sloped abutment. Materials and surface procedures are consistent with predicate devices. Sterilized for surgical use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with missing teeth requiring prosthetic support in the mandible or maxilla. Suitable for immediate or delayed loading provided good primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading 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.
