No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and surgical technique of a dental implant system. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is used to restore chewing function, which addresses a physiological condition and improves health.
No
The provided text explicitly states the TREFOIL System is "used to restore chewing function in fully edentulous mandibles" and "restores chewing function and esthetics". There is no mention of it being used to diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device description explicitly states that the TREFOIL System consists of dental implants, surgical components, and prosthetic components, which are all hardware.
Based on the provided information, the TREFOIL System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "restore chewing function in fully edentulous mandibles" by placing dental implants and a prosthetic framework. This is a surgical and prosthetic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device consists of dental implants, surgical components, and prosthetic components. These are physical devices used for implantation and restoration within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The TREFOIL System does not involve the analysis of such specimens.
Therefore, the TREFOIL System falls under the category of a medical device used for surgical and prosthetic purposes, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TREFOIL System is used to restore chewing function in fully edentulous mandibles.
The three implants of the TREFOIL System are placed between the mental foramina in fully edentulous mandibles in a 1-stage surgical technique combined with an immediate function loading protocol, provided sufficient primary stability for the selected technique is achieved. In cases where sufficient primary stability for two implants or more is not reached, the implants along with the Framework may also be used with an early or delayed loading protocol.
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
- Adequate quantity of bone (minimum height of 13 mm for 11.5 mm implant and 14.5 mm for 13.0 implant and minimum width of 6-7 mm).
- Adequate mouth opening (minimum 40 mm) to accommodate the guided surgery instruments.
- Implant-supported prosthetics seated directly on dedicated implants

Device Description
The TREFOIL System is a method of placing three dental implants in predetermined positions (between the mental foramina) and using a pre-designed prosthetic bar to act as a screw-retained framework seated on the implants. The TREFOIL System restores chewing function and esthetics in the mandible in completely edentulous patients.
The TREFOIL System consists of dental implants, surgical components necessary to place the implants in predetermined positions, and prosthetic components that are included in the prosthetic bar or are used in the dental lab during the creation of the prosthetic bar.
The Trefoil Implants are made of CP4 titanium. The implants are parallel walled and have an internal conical abutment connection. The implants have a 13.0 mm threaded portion and are available with both a 4.5 and 6.0 mm collar height. The apex of the implants have cutting chambers allowing for self-tapping. The implant bone interface has the TiUnite implant surface treatment.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:
Since the subject device does not represent a new worst case, data from the predicate device was leveraged in the following aspects of the 510(k).
- Sterile Device Information
- The sterilization method for the subject device is the same as the primary predicate (K152836). The sterilization method is Gamma radiation and has been validated in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137. Therefore, no additional testing was required.
- Device Packaging
- The packaging for the subject device is the same as the primary predicate (K152836). This is a plastic vial with PVC shrink-wrap cap. Therefore, no additional testing was required.
- Shelf Life
- The packaging for the subject device is the same as the primary predicate (K152836) and is labeled with a 5 year expiration date. Real time aging was used to determine the expiration dating. Therefore, no additional testing was required.
- Biocompatibility
- The subject device is manufactured from the same material as the primary predicate (K152836), uses the same manufacturing method as the primary predicate, has the same intended use, and the same patient contact type and duration as the primary predicate. Therefore, no additional testing was required.
- Fatigue Testing
No clinical data was used to support the decision of safety and effectiveness.

(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)

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.

Analysis of Differences Between Subject Device and Predicate
Indications for use
The indications for use of the subject device is the same as the primary predicate with the one change. The first bullet in the prerequisite list of the Indications for use statement has been modified to reflect the change in implant length and is the same as the reference predicate.
Technological characteristics
The subject TREFOIL System is an extension of the primary predicate TREFOIL System (K152836) implant length from 11.5 mm to 13.0 mm. All other technological characteristics are the same. The 13.0 mm length is the same as the reference predicate TREFOIL System (K170135)
Summarv:
- The only design difference between the subject and primary predicate is the implant ● length. This length is the same as the reference predicate.
- There is a trade name change to implant name (per K152836). Implant Conical Connect . RP used with TREFOIL System will be called Trefoil Implants CC RP.
VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The TREFOIL System was evaluated for substantial equivalence. In cases where the TREFOIL System could be shown to not represent a worst-case with respect to the predicates, data from these predicate devices was leveraged to support the subject device. Based on technological characteristics, the TREFOIL System was shown to be substantially equivalent to the TREFOIL System (K152836).
