Intended Use

The Ti Star Implant System is intended to be placed in the upper or lower jaw to support prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, and to restore a patient's chewing function. This may be accomplished using either a two stage surgical procedure or a single stage surgical procedure.

The Ti Star Implant System is intended for use for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.

Device Description

The Ti Star Implant System is an integrated system of endosseous dental implants which designed to support prosthetic devices for partially or fully edentulous patients. Ti Star Implant System consist of one-stage and two-stage, root form dental implants, associated with abutment systems, which provide the dentist with screw and cement retained restoration options. The devices covered by this submission are Ti Star Implant Fixtures, abutments, cover screw, closing screw and healing screw. The diameters of implant fixture are 3.5mm, 4.1mm and 4.8mm, the lengths are 7.0mm, 8.5mm, 10.0mm, 11.5mm, 13.0mm and 15.0mm.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the Ti Star Implant System is for a dental implant, which is a physical device, not an AI/ML powered SaMD (Software as a Medical Device). Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/ML device studies (e.g., sample size for test set, ground truth experts, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set sample size, etc.) are not applicable here.

However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria, based on the document provided.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For the Ti Star Implant System, the acceptance criteria are based on compliance with established international and ASTM standards for dental implants. The performance is reported as meeting these requirements.

The document states: "All the test results demonstrate Ti Star Implant System meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended uses."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not provided as the tests are non-clinical (bench testing). The document does not specify the exact number of units or batches tested for each standard, nor the country of origin of the test data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable. This is a non-clinical device that was evaluated through physical and material testing against international standards, not through human expert review of clinical data.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as this is related to human interpretation of data for AI/ML performance.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system, and no human reader studies are mentioned.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" for this device is the established performance requirements defined by the international and ASTM standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for dynamic fatigue, ISO 11737 for sterilization, ASTM F746 for corrosion). The device performance was compared against these technical specifications.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.

§ 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.
