The Neodent Implant System is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw to provide support for prosthetic devices such as artificial teeth, to restore chewing function. It may be used with single-stage or two-stage procedures, for single or multiple unit restorations, and may be loaded immediately when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading. Multiple tooth applications may be rigidly splinted.
The Facility implant is indicated for replacement of maxillary lateral incisors, mandibular incisors or retention of overdentures.
Titanium Base Abutment is a titanium base placed onto Neodent dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations. It is used with a coping and crown, or crown alone, and is indicated for cement-retained single or multi-unit restorations, or screw-retained single restorations.
All digitally designed copings and/or crowns for use with the Neodent Titanium Base Abutment System are intended to be sent to Straumann for manufacture at a validated milling center.
The Pro PEEK Abutments are indicated to be used on Neodent implants to provide temporary support for prosthesis structure for up to 6 months. They can be used in one or two stage procedures and also immediate load when there is good primary stability.
GM Exact Titanium Block for Medentika Holder is a titanium abutment to be used in fabricating a full custom abutment and placed onto Neodent dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations. The GM Exact Titanium Block for Medentika Holder abutments are indicated for screw-retained single restorations or cemented-retained single or multi-unit restorations.
All digitally designed abutments for use with the GM Exact Titanium Block for Medentika Holder are intended to be sent to Straumann for manufacture at a validated milling center.
The Titanium Base C for GM Exact abutments is a titanium component that is placed over Neodent implants to provide support for custom prosthetic restorations, such as copings or crowns. It is indicated for single-tooth screw-retained restorations. All digitally designed copings and/or crowns for use with the Titanium Base C for GM Exact abutments are to be designed using Sirona inLab software or Sirona CEREC Software and manufactured using a Sirona CEREC or inLab MC X or MC XL milling unit.
The present submission is for an increase in the shelf life of the Neodent Implant System having the Acqua surface treatment; the shelf life is being extended from 2-years.
The subject devices are:
- Intended for single use;

§ 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.
