Indications for Use
The KLOCKNER® VEGA® dental implant system is indicated to replace missing teeth in single and multiple unit applications within the mandible or maxilla. Implants can be for immediate placement and function in extraction sites and partially or completely healed alveolar ridge situations, when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading. Different loading protocols (immediate, early or delayed) can be applied in partially or totally edentulous patients. The prosthetic restorations can be single-unit or multiple-unit restorations. The Ø 3.0 mm implants should only be used for unit restorations for maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral and central incisors.
Device Story
Klockner Vega Dental Implant System consists of endosseous dental implants designed for surgical placement into the mandible or maxilla to support prosthetic restorations. System includes various implant diameters and lengths to accommodate different anatomical sites and loading protocols (immediate, early, or delayed). Used by dental surgeons in clinical settings to replace missing teeth. Implants provide a foundation for single or multiple-unit prosthetic restorations. Clinical benefit includes restoration of masticatory function and aesthetics for edentulous or partially edentulous patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Endosseous dental implant system. Materials: Titanium alloy (Grade 5 ELI). Surface treatment: Titanium plasma spray or similar osseointegration-enhancing surface. Design: Threaded, tapered or cylindrical geometry. Sterilization: Gamma radiation. Connectivity: Mechanical connection to prosthetic abutments.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring replacement of missing teeth in mandible or maxilla. Applicable for single or multiple unit restorations in partially or totally edentulous patients. Ø 3.0 mm implants restricted to maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral/central incisors. Suitable for immediate, early, or delayed loading protocols in extraction sites or healed alveolar ridges, provided primary stability is 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.
