Indications for Use
Calcitek Dental Implant Systems are designed for use in edentulous mandibles or maxillae for attachment of complete denture prostheses, or as a terminal or intermediary abutment for fixed or removable bridgework, or as a free standing single tooth replacement. The use of the 5.0mm implant is recommended when the quantity and density of bone would dictate the use of an implant larger than 4.0mm.
Device Story
Endosseous dental implants; used for prosthetic attachment in edentulous mandibles or maxillae; serves as terminal/intermediary abutment for bridgework or single tooth replacement. Placed by licensed dentists in clinical settings. Device features hydroxyapatite (HA) coating with enhanced crystalline content and reduced non-HA components compared to previous versions. Implants supplied sterile.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material comparison to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Endosseous dental implant; HA-coated; sterile; design identical to predicate; material composition modified to increase crystalline HA content and decrease non-HA components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with edentulous mandibles or maxillae requiring complete denture attachment, fixed or removable bridgework abutments, or single tooth replacement. 5.0mm implant indicated for cases where bone quantity/density necessitates implants larger than 4.0mm.
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.
