No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties, materials, and mechanical testing of a dental implant, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No
Explanation: While the device replaces an anatomical structure and aids in its function, it explicitly states it is an "artificial root structure" for replacing missing teeth, which is a restorative rather than therapeutic function.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an artificial root structure for tooth replacement, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a machined titanium, screw-form endosseous dental implant, which is a physical hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is an "artificial root structure for single tooth replacement or for fixed bridgework and dental retention." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) for structural support.
- Device Description: The description details a "machined titanium, screw-form endosseous dental implant." This is consistent with a surgical implant, not a device used to test samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a physical implant placed within the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A comparative dimensional assessment was performed comparing the worst-case subject Tapered IM implant device (smallest implant body diameter combined with the shortest implant length) to the worst-case predicate Tapered Internal Plus implant device and Tapered Internal implant device (smallest prosthetic platform/smallest implant body diameter combined with the shortest implant length). The intent of the assessment was to develop objective evidence that the Tapered IM implant is substantially equivalent to the Tapered Internal Plus implant and the Tapered Internal implant as it relates to design and mechanical strength. Acceptance criteria dictated that the Tapered IM implant connection geometry, in relation to the implant external profile, shall have equal or greater (>=) wall thickness compared to the Tapered Internal Plus implant and the Tapered Internal implant. In addition to the dimensional assessment, a retrospective review of mechanical testing for the predicate Tapered Internal Plus implant and Tapered Internal Implant was also performed. Dynamic mechanical fatigue testing was performed in accordance with ISO 14801, Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic Fatigue Test for Endosseous Dental Implants for the worst-case 3.8mm x 15mm Tapered Internal Plus implant assembled with a 3.0mm Angled Esthetic Abutment and the worst-case 3.8mm x 15mm Tapered Internal implant assembled with a 3.5mm Angled Custom Abutment. The implant-abutment assemblies survived three consecutive fatigue runouts for 5 million cycles. The predicate device fatigue testing was included in the applicable 510(k). The aforementioned comparative dimensional assessment combined with the successful fatigue testing of the worst-case predicate device qualify the Tapered Internal IM implants for their intended use.
Sterilization validation was evaluated in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1. Validation parameters were established for this device and are substantially equivalent to those used in the primary predicate device cleared under K121787.
Endotoxin testing is routinely performed in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST72. Testing consistently demonstrates that endotoxin levels do not exceed the acceptance limit of 20.0 EU per device per USP .

Device Description
The BioHorizons Tapered IM Implants are machined titanium, screw-form endosseous dental implants supplied in 7.0mm and 8.0mm diameters. Both implants include a 5.7mm prosthetic The implants are provided in 7.5mm, 9.0mm and 10.5mm lengths across both platform. diameters. Implant material is titanium alloy as specified in ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy (UNS R56401) for Surqical Implant Applications.
The devices are further processed by roughening the threaded surface with Resorbable Blast Texture (RBT) media (hydroxylapatite) and by micro-machining grooves, known as Laser-Loke microchannels, on the implant collar. The product is packaged using materials known in the industry to be appropriate for medical device packaging and is provided with a minimum sterility assurance level of 10°, validated in compliance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1 Sterilization of healthcare products -- Radiation -- Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.
Indications for Use
BioHorizons Tapered IM Implants are intended for use in the mandible or maxilla as an artificial root structure for single tooth replacement or for fixed bridgework and dental retention. The implants may be restored immediately (1) with a temporary prosthesis that is not in functional occlusion or (2) when splinted together for multiple tooth replacement or when stabilized with an overdenture supported by multiple implants.

Technological Characteristics
The fundamental scientific technology of the BioHorizons Tapered IM endosseous dental implant devices subject to this 510(k) is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device. The threaded portion of the implants is RBT-blasted, and Laser-Lok microchannels are applied to the implant collar.
Laser-Lok is a surface feature in which patterns of micro-machined grooves are applied to the collar of a dental implant, providing a roughened surface to establish a physical, connective tissue attachment. This tissue connection:
-
- is functionally oriented,
-
- inhibits epithelial cell downgrowth, and
-
- enables crestal bone adjacent to the implant to attach and be retained
The preceding claims are supported in the published literature by Nevins et al. Human Histologic Evidence of a Connective Tissue Attachment to a Dental Implant, International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry 2008; 28:111-121 and Ricci et al. Bone Response to Laser Microtextured Surfaces, Bone Engineering 2000:382-392.
All materials, suppliers, processing, packaging and sterilization methods remain the same as for the primary predicate device, BioHorizons Tapered Internal Plus Implants (K121787). The Laser-Lok feature is substantially equivalent to that cleared for the BioHorizons Tapered Internal Plus Implants. The BioHorizons Tapered IM Implants are substantially equivalent to the features of the predicate implant devices because of the similarities in design, materials and intended use. Refer to Table 1, Summary Table of Substantial Equivalence, immediately following.
Summary of Testing
A comparative dimensional assessment was performed comparing the worst-case subject Tapered IM implant device (smallest implant body diameter combined with the shortest implant length) to the worst-case predicate Tapered Internal Plus implant device and Tapered Internal implant device (smallest prosthetic platform/smallest implant body diameter combined with the shortest implant length). The intent of the assessment was to develop objective evidence that the Tapered IM implant is substantially equivalent to the Tapered Internal Plus implant and the Tapered Internal implant as it relates to design and mechanical strength. Acceptance criteria dictated that the Tapered IM implant connection geometry, in relation to the implant external profile, shall have equal or greater (≥) wall thickness compared to the Tapered Internal Plus implant and the Tapered Internal implant. In addition to the dimensional assessment, a retrospective review of mechanical testing for the predicate Tapered Internal Plus implant and Tapered Internal Implant was also performed. Dynamic mechanical fatigue testing was performed in accordance with ISO 14801, Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic Fatigue Test for Endosseous Dental Implants for the worst-case 3.8mm x 15mm Tapered Internal Plus implant assembled with a 3.0mm Angled Esthetic Abutment and the worst-case 3.8mm x 15mm Tapered Internal implant assembled with a 3.5mm Angled Custom Abutment. The implant-abutment assemblies survived three consecutive fatigue runouts for 5 million cycles. The predicate device fatigue testing was included in the applicable 510(k). The aforementioned comparative dimensional assessment combined with the successful fatigue testing of the worst-case predicate device qualify the Tapered Internal IM implants for their intended use.
Sterilization validation was evaluated in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1. Validation parameters were established for this device and are substantially equivalent to those used in the primary predicate device cleared under K121787.
Endotoxin testing is routinely performed in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST72. Testing consistently demonstrates that endotoxin levels do not exceed the acceptance limit of 20.0 EU per device per USP .
5
Additional data relied on from BioHorizons previous dental implant device submissions to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices includes evaluation of the RBT surface treatment process as is applied to all BioHorizons dental implant devices. The surface and processing used in this device are substantially equivalent to those used in the reference predicate device cleared under K071638.
Finally, BioHorizons Tapered IM Implants meet the chemical requirements of ASTM F136. This grade of Titanium is commonly used in surgical implant applications thus no special biocompatibility testing was conducted for the proposed devices. The material and processing used in this device are substantially equivalent to those used in the reference predicate device cleared under K071638.
Conclusion
The data presented in this submission demonstrates that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate devices with respect to performance and intended use. Any risks associated with differences noted in the Indications for Use of the proposed device and predicate devices have been mitigated by additional information included in the Warnings and Precautions section of the Instructions for Use. The additional information includes limiting use of the proposed device to the molar region, providing placement recommendations, and adding clinician considerations for use of these devices.
The proposed device performs as well as the legally marketed predicate devices. Furthermore. the proposed device does not pose any new or increased risks as compared to the legally marketed predicate devices.

range of design parameters. | BioHorizons Tapered Internal
Implant Systems is intended for
use in the mandible or maxilla for
use as an artificial root structure
for single tooth replacement or for
fixed bridgework and dental
retention.
BioHorizons Tapered Internal
Implants may be restored
immediately
- with a temporary prosthesis that
is not in functional occlusion, or - when splinted together for
multiple tooth replacement or
when stabilized with an
overdenture supported by multiple
implants. | The NSI MAX Implant
System is intended for
implantation in the
maxillary or mandibular
molar region where bone
exists and the surgeon has
determined that the
placement of a narrower
diameter implant would
increase the probability of
failure due to poor primary
stability, or increased
surgical procedures
leading to complications.
This MAX implant provides
support for fixed or
removable dental
prostheses in a single
tooth, partially endentulous
prostheses, or full arch
prostheses. It further adds
the option for immediate
loading on single and
splinted multiple unit
restorations when good
primary stability is
achieved and with
appropriate occlusal
loading, to restore chewing
function. | |
