Intended Use
The Piccolo Implants and Accessories are intended for both one- and two-stage surgical procedures in the following situations and with the following clinical protocols: • replacing maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors, • immediate placement in extraction sites and in situations with a partially or completely healed alveolar ridge, • immediate loading when good primary stability with appropriate occlusal loading is achieved, except in soft bone (type IV) where implant stability may be difficult to obtain.
Device Description
The Piccolo Implants and Accessories is a threaded root-form dental implant and abutment system. The implants are Ø3.0 mm in diameter with lengths of 8.5, 10, 11.5, 13 and 15 mm. There is a standard version and a MSC version with a 1 and 3 mm machined surface coronal region respectively. The rest of the body has a roughened surface. The system has an external hexagonal implant-abutment interface. The following abutments are included in the range: Cover Screws, Healing Abutments (all made from commercially pure titanium (CPTi)), Gold Abutments (made from gold alloy), Passive Abutments and Compact Conical Abutments (both made from titanium alloy). All abutments (except the onepiece abutments) are used with a titanium alloy retaining screw.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical dental implant and abutment system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device, a dental implant system, directly interacts with the human body (maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors) to replace missing teeth, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at restoring function and improving health.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use indicate that this is a dental implant and abutment system designed for replacing teeth. It is a treatment device, not one that gathers or analyzes data to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a threaded root-form dental implant and abutment system, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for replacing teeth with implants. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a dental implant and abutment system, which are physical devices implanted into bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a medical 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.

Table 2: Predicate 1 and Subject Device Comparison Table

6

Primary predicate (K163060) is for substantial equivalence of the diameter, materials and surface of the implants and abutments. The subject device implants have the same outer diameter as the primary predicate Ø3.0 implants. The subject device is made from the same manufacturing facilities, with the same surface treatment as implants in primary predicate (K163060). The subject device has Ø3.0 abutments of the same type as the primary predicate (K163060) with substantially equivalent design and materials. Primary predicate (K163060) has implants with a range of sizes including diameter 3.0 mm implants. The subject device only has diameter 3.0 mm implants. The differences in wording of the indications for use statement reflect this difference, but with regards to the Ø3.0 implant and accessories the indications for use statements are substantially equivalent.

Reference device (K163634) is for substantial equivalence of the subject device implants and abutments. The subject device Piccolo implants are Ø3.0 tapered implants with a similar shape. lengths, thread, flutes, taper, apex, collar and connection interface to the corresponding Ø3.25 tapered implant in reference device (K163634).

The subject device and all primary predicate (K163060) and reference devices (K163634, K120414) are provided sterile for single-patient, single-use.

Substantial equivalence of the subject device components in terms of biocompatibility is supported by the fact that materials are identical in formulation, processing, component interactions, and storage conditions to the devices in primary predicate (K163060) and reference device (K163634).

CONCLUSION

The subject device and the primary predicate (K163060) and reference devices (K163634, K120414) have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of the same materials. The subject device and the primary predicate (K163060) and reference devices (K163634, K 120414) are packaged in similar materials and sterilized using similar methods.

The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device to the primary predicate and reference devices listed above.
