Intended Use

MOR Implants are self-tapping titanium threaded screws intended for long-term applications in the bone of the patient's upper or lower arch. The MOR implants may also be used for interradicular transitional applications.

These devices will permit immediate splinting stability and long-term fixation of new or existing crown and bridge installations, for full or partial edentulous cases, and employing minimally invasive surgical intervention.

The MOR Implant System is only intended for use with straight abutments. The MOR implant body is intended to be placed such that no angle correction is necessary.

Device Description

The MOR is a self-tapping, small diameter, screw implant, manufactured from titanium alloy (6% Al, 4% V - ASTM F136). The portion of the implant that is submerged in the bone is grit blasted and acid etched. The implants are manufactured with two body diameters, 2.1 mm and 2.4 mm. They are packaged sterile in a double blister, which contains: the implant in a titanium tube. The MOR implant body is designed with an O-ball denture connection and a separate straight titanium alloy (6% AI, 4% V - ASTM F136) abutment which may be cemented over the O-ball for crown or bridge fixation.

The MOR Implant System is not intended for correction of implants placed at an angle. It is only intended for use with straight abutments. The MOR implant body is intended to be placed such that no angle correction is necessary.

The MOR Dental Implant will be available in a range of lengths and diameters.

Thread Major Diameter (mm): 2.1mm, 2.4mm
Overall Implant Length (mm): 10mm, 13mm, 15mm

Dimensional requirements for the finished abutment:
Angulation of final abutment: No angles
Minimum and Maximum Gingival Height: 1.0 - 3.0mm
Minimum abutment post height may be fabricated to: 4.0mm

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the MOR Implant System, a dental implant device. It primarily focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices rather than providing detailed clinical study data or performance metrics for an AI/algorithm-based device.

Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing the acceptance criteria and the study that proves an AI/algorithm-based device meets these criteria cannot be found in this document. This document describes the testing for a physical medical device (dental implants).

However, I can extract the information that is present and explain why other information is missing.


Summary of Information from the Provided Document Regarding Device Acceptance and Performance:

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a physical medical device (dental implants). The core of a 510(k) submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not necessarily to set new performance criteria or conduct extensive clinical trials that would be typical for novel AI/algorithm-based devices.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document states:

  • "Performance testing demonstrated that the device performs appropriately for the proposed indications for use." ([Page 4] - under 'Performance Testing')
  • "Based on our analysis, technological characteristics and performance testing, the MOR Implant System is substantially equivalent in intended use, material, design and performance to its predicates." ([Page 5] - under 'Conclusion')

However, it does not provide a table of quantitative acceptance criteria for a specific performance metric (like accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity, which would be relevant for an AI device) nor does it report specific numerical performance results. The "performance testing" mentioned is non-clinical and likely refers to mechanical, material, and biocompatibility testing to show the physical implant functions as intended and is safe, rather than a clinical outcome or diagnostic performance metric.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Not Applicable/Not Provided for Clinical Performance Data: This document does not describe a "test set" in the context of an AI model's performance on clinical data (e.g., patient images or records). The "performance testing" mentioned refers to non-clinical bench testing of the physical implant.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable for an AI test set.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

  • Not Applicable: This process is for validating AI/algorithm performance. The document describes a physical dental implant, not an AI device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Not Applicable: This is relevant for establishing ground truth in clinical data for AI validation.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

  • No: This study type is for evaluating human performance (e.g., radiologists) with and without AI assistance. This document describes a physical dental implant, not an AI system. Even if clinical data were mentioned, an MRMC study is not typically required for dental implant 510(k)s focused on substantial equivalence.

6. If a Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not Applicable: This is exclusively for AI/algorithm performance. The device is a physical dental implant.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • For the device (dental implant): The "ground truth" for a physical device like this is primarily established through engineering specifications, material science standards (e.g., ASTM F136 for titanium alloy), and non-clinical performance testing (e.g., fatigue testing, sterilization validation, biocompatibility) to ensure it meets mechanical strength, material safety, and functional requirements. It's not "expert consensus" or "pathology" in the diagnostic sense.
  • The document explicitly references: "Non clinical Testing was performed following 'Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff -Class 11 Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments.'" ([Page 4])

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • Not Applicable: This concept applies to the development of AI models. The document is about a physical dental implant, not an AI or algorithm.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

  • Not Applicable: As above, this pertains to AI model development.

In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device (dental implants). It demonstrates "substantial equivalence" to previously cleared predicate devices based on design, materials, manufacturing processes, and non-clinical performance testing. It does not contain any information related to AI/algorithm performance, clinical study test sets, ground truth establishment by experts, or MRMC studies, as those concepts are not relevant to the type of device and regulatory submission described.

§ 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.
