Indications for Use
The 4.5mm diameter implants are designed for use in edentulous sites in the mandible or maxilla for support of a complete denture prosthesis, a terminal or intermediate abutment for fixed bridge work , partial dentures, and / or a single tooth replacement.
Device Story
The 4.5mm Bicon Dental Implant is a dental prosthetic component used in oral surgery. It is surgically placed into edentulous sites in the mandible or maxilla to provide structural support for various dental restorations, including complete dentures, fixed bridges, and single tooth replacements. The device functions as an anchor for prosthetic abutments. It is intended for use by licensed dental professionals in a clinical setting. The implant provides a foundation for restorative dentistry, aiming to restore oral function and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Dental implant with 4.5mm diameter. Materials and design are consistent with standard dental implant systems used for osseointegration in the mandible or maxilla.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with edentulous sites in the mandible or maxilla requiring support for complete denture prostheses, fixed bridge work (terminal or intermediate abutments), partial dentures, or single tooth replacement.
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.
