Indications for Use
Implant: The ELEMENT PF 3.0 is suitable for use in one-stage or two-stage surgical techniques for restoring chewing function. The ELEMENT PF 3.0 is suitable for immediate implantation and restoration in case of replacement of several teeth; prerequisites are good primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading. The ELEMENT PF 3.0 must only be used for replacement of the lateral incisors of the upper jaw and the central and lateral incisors of the lower jaw. VARIOunite PF 3.0: Thommen Medical VARIOunite abutments PF 3.0 are only used in conjunction with the ELEMENT PF 3.0 and are for fabrication of provisional and final crowns in the anterior maxilla and mandible (upper lateral incisors, lower anterior teeth). Digitally designed abutments for use with Thommen VARIOunite are intended to be sent to a Thommen validated milling center for manufacture. VARIOunite: Thommen Medical VARIOunite abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with Thommen System dental implants in the maxillary and/or mandibular arch to provide support for crowns, bridges and overdentures. Digitally designed abutments for use with Thommen VARIOunite are intended to be sent to a Thommen validated milling center for manufacture.
Device Story
Thommen Implant System consists of endosseous dental implants (ELEMENT PF 3.0) and associated abutments (VARIOunite). Implants are self-tapping, root-form, made of commercially pure titanium, available in various lengths. Used by dental surgeons in one-stage or two-stage procedures to replace missing teeth. Abutments support provisional/final crowns, bridges, or overdentures. Digitally designed abutments are manufactured at Thommen-validated milling centers. System restores chewing function by providing stable anchorage for prosthetic restorations. Clinical benefit is the replacement of missing teeth in the anterior maxilla and mandible.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Includes radiation and steam sterilization validation (ISO 11137, ISO 17665), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), LAL endotoxin testing, shelf-life/packaging integrity (ASTM F88, F1886, F1929, F3039, ISO 11607), and mechanical fatigue testing (ISO 14801). No clinical data included.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Commercially pure (CP) titanium (implant), titanium alloy (abutment/screw). Design: Internal connection, self-tapping root-form. Dimensions: 3.0 mm diameter; 8.0-14.0 mm lengths. Abutments: Straight or angled (up to 20°). Sterilization: Radiation or steam. Connectivity: Compatible with CAD/CAM digital workflows via validated milling centers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dental implants to restore chewing function via single or multi-unit prostheses (crowns, bridges, overdentures). ELEMENT PF 3.0 is limited to replacement of upper lateral incisors and lower central/lateral incisors. VARIOunite PF 3.0 is limited to anterior maxilla and mandible. Contraindications include lack of primary stability or insufficient occlusal loading conditions.
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.

Subject device implants and healing caps are substantially equivalent to K093615 implants and healing caps in body and cover design, connection design, material, surface, and intended use. The subject device ELEMENT Ø 3.0 mm implant is 0.5 mm narrower than the predicate ELEMENT Ø 3.5 mm implant. The hex interface remains the same. The ELEMENT Ø 3.0 mm implant is substantially equivalent to the OsseoSpeed™ Plus Ø 3.0 mm implant (K120414) in diameter, length, and intended use.
Subject device VARIOunite and Gingiva Former abutments are substantially equivalent to K160224 and K120414 abutments in material, design and function. The expanded indication for VARIOunite to be used as a TiBase with CAD/CAM zirconia superstructure is substantially equivalent to that of SP1® Titanium Base for CAD/CAM (K102804) using the same materials and processes. The subject device is substantially equivalent to K151984 in that all digitally designed abutments for use with Thommen VARIOunite are intended to be sent to a Thommen validated milling center for manufacture.
Small differences in language in the Indications for Use Statements among the subject device, the predicate devices do not change the intended use. All are implant systems placed in the maxilla or mandible to support single or multi-unit prostheses and restore chewing function.
## CONCLUSION
The subject device and the predicate devices have intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of similar materials. The subject device and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, including diameter and angle of the abutments. The subject and predicate devices are packaged in similar materials and are to be sterilized using similar methods.
The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above.
