Indications for Use
IMCOR implants are indicated to replace missing tooth roots for single tooth, partial tooth and fully edentulous patients. The IMCOR Implant System is designed to become an osseointegrated prostheses allowing the attachment of partial or complete prosthodontic appliances. The use of the IMCOR implant is the same as currently accepted uses for dental implants already in the marketplace. All components are to be used as labeled. Components are not intended to be bent by the clinician.
Device Story
IMCOR LockTite Implants are dental implants designed to replace missing tooth roots. Available in 4.00mm and 5.00mm diameters, they feature self-tapping designs with either HA (hydroxyapatite) coating or RBM (Resorbable Blast Media) surface treatments. Used by dental clinicians to achieve osseointegration, these implants serve as anchors for partial or complete prosthodontic appliances. The device is implanted surgically into the jawbone. By providing a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth, the system restores oral function and aesthetics for patients with tooth loss. No electronic or software components are involved.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design and intended use comparison to existing dental implants.
Technological Characteristics
Self-tapping dental implants; 4.00mm and 5.00mm diameters; surface finishes include HA coating and RBM (Resorbable Blast Media). Mechanical device; no energy source, software, or connectivity.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with missing tooth roots, including single tooth, partial tooth, and fully edentulous cases, to support partial or complete prosthodontic appliances via osseointegration.
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.
