Intended Use

Abutments are intended to be placed into dental implants to provide support for prosthetic reconstructions such as crowns or bridges. The ITI Esthetic abutments are indicated for cemented restorations in esthetic areas of the mouth. The abutment can be used to restore crowns for single tooth replacements and bridges for multiple tooth restorations.

Device Description

The ITI Dental Implant System is an integrated system of endosseous dental implants which are designed to support prosthetic devices for partially or fully edentulous patients. The system consists of a variety of dental implants, abutments, and surgical and prosthetic parts and instruments. The devices covered by this submission are abutments which are placed into the dental implant to provide support for a prosthetic reconstruction. The subject abutments are indicated for cemented restorations, particularly in esthetic areas of the mouth.

The ITI esthetic abutments are made from commercially pure Grade 4 titanium (ASTM F67) with a titanium alloy screw. The basal portion of the abutment has conical taper with an inset octagonal design. The abutment is placed over the implant shoulder and is mounted into the implant with a screw. The abutment is available in two diameters for use with ITI implants with shoulder diameters of 4.8 mm and 6.5 mm.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (ITI Esthetic Ease Abutments) and does not describe acceptance criteria, a study proving device performance, or any of the other requested information related to an AI/ML-based device performance study.

The document is a regulatory submission for a dental implant abutment, outlining its description, intended use, and substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices based on material and design specifications. It is a standard medical device clearance document, not a study report or performance evaluation in the context of AI/ML or a clinical trial with acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from the provided text.

§ 872.3640 Endosseous dental implant.

(a)
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.(b)
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.
