NobelParallel™ Conical Connection implants are endosseous implants intended to be surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw bone for anchoring or supporting replacements to restore patient esthetics and chewing function.
NobelParallel™ Conical Connection implants are indicated for single or multiple restorations in splinted applications. This can be achieved by a 2-stage or 1-stage surgical techniques in combination with immediate, early or delayed loading protocols, recognizing sufficient primary stability and appropriate occlusal loading for the selected technique.
Implants with
NobelParallel™ Conical Connection (herein referred to as NobelParallel™ CC) implants are threaded, root-form, endosseous implants intended to be surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw bone for anchoring or supporting tooth replacements to restore a patient's chewing function.
The sterile, single-use only implants, made of commercially pure titanium (ASTM F67-13), range in length from 6.5 – 17.5 mm (physical implant length) and are provided in four (4) diameters (Ø 3.75 mm, 4.3 mm, 5.0 mm, and 5.5 mm). The implants feature a conical connection which is compatible with Nobel Biocare's narrow platform (NP), regular platform (RP), and wide platform (WP) abutments. The conical connections are color coded to identify the compatible abutment platform(s).
Each implant is individually packaged and provided with its corresponding titanium alloy cover screw (Ti-6Al-4V, per ASTM F136-13 and ISO 5832-3).
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device called NobelParallel™ Conical Connection implants. It describes the device, its intended use, comparison to predicate devices, and performance data provided for substantial equivalence determination.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text. Please note that the document is a summary and therefore may not contain all the granular details of a full study report.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
This document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in a quantitative table format with corresponding device performance values. Instead, it describes differences and similarities to predicate devices and lists the types of studies performed to support substantial equivalence. The implication is that the device's performance, as demonstrated by these studies, met the FDA's criteria for substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices.
However, based on the performance data listed, we can infer the types of performance evaluated:
| Performance Aspect | Implied Acceptance Criteria (relative to predicates) | Reported Device Performance (as implied by the summary) |

§ 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.
