Device Description
The purpose of this submission is to obtain marketing clearance for the TRI-matrix® Implant Line, a series of bone-level and tissue-level root-form endosseous dental implants, corresponding healing components, abutments, and abutment screws intended for use in the mandible or maxilla to restore chewing function. The permanent abutment design in the product line is a patient-specific abutment manufactured using CAD-CAM technology, which also may be manufactured as a direct final direct restoration. The manufacture of these abutments and restorations will be at TRI Dental Implant Int. AG facilities after receipt of the digital design file of the patient-matched components from the dentist or dental lab. TRI-matrix Bone-Level implants are intended for bone-level placement and are available in three (3) body diameters (3.75, 4.1 and 4.7 mm). The 3.75 mm body diameter is provided in five (5) lengths (8. 10. 11.5, 13, and 16 mm) and the 4.1 and 4.7 mm body diameters are provided in six (6) lengths (6.5, 8, 10, 11.5, 13, and 16 mm). TRI-matrix Bone-Level 3.75 and 4.1 mm diameter implants have a platform diameter of 3.7 mm and TRI-matrix Bone-Level 4.7 mm diameter implants have a platform diameter of 4.5 mm. TRI-matrix Tissue-Level implants are intended for tissue-level placement and are available in four (4) body diameters (3.3. 3.75. 4.1 and 4.7 mm). The 3.3 mm body diameter is provided in three lengths (10, 11.5, and 13 mm). The 3.75 mm body diameter is provided in four lengths (8, 10, 11.5, and 13 mm). The 4.1 and 4.7 mm body diameters are provided in five lengths (6.5, 8, 10, 11.5, and 13 mm). TRI-matrix Tissue-Level 3.3 mm diameter implants have a platform diameter of 3.7 mm. TRI-matrix Tissue-Level 3.75 and 4.1 mm diameter implants are available in two platform diameters: 3.7 and 4.5 mm. TRI-matrix Tissue-Level 4.7 mm diameter implants have a platform diameter of 4.5 mm. Healing components and abutment components for the TRI-matrix Implant Line include Surgical Cover Screw, Healing Collar, Provisional Abutment (Temporary Abutment), and patient-specific Crown Abutment. Abutment screws for the TRI-matrix Implant Line include Replacement Retaining Screw, which are designed to attach the subject device Provisional Abutment, Crown Abutment, or direct final restoration to the implant. Crown Abutments are patient-specific abutments, fabricated using CAD/CAM technology at a TRI Dental Implants Int. AG manufacturing site. Each abutment is designed according to prescription instructions from the clinician to support a screw-retained prosthesis. The Crown Abutment is different from a normal Titanium Blank abutment because the implant-abutment connection is manufactured at the same time as the patient-specific portion (i.e., there is no stock component). Crown Abutments are fabricated in two platform diameters of 3.7 and 4.5 mm and are attached to the compatible implant with a separate screw. Crown Abutments are available as Zirconia Crown Abutments or Titanium Crown Abutments. The material of Zirconia Crown Abutments will conform to ISO 13356, Implants for surgery – Ceramic materials based on yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP). The material of Titanium Crown Abutments will conform to ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401). A Crown Abutment also may function as a substructure in zirconia that serves as the single-unit or multiunit final restoration, using the full digital workflow with third-party planning software. For each material there is an associated CAD software file within the full digital workflow that defines the specific screw, interface, and torque used for the direct restoration. The design parameters for patient-specific Crown Abutments, direct final restorations or direct provisional restorations are: Abutment diameter range - 4 to 13 mm Maximum abutment height - 15 mm Minimum abutment height above the trans-mucosal collar (post height) for single-unit restorations - 4 mm Maximum gingival height from the implant/abutment interface: 5 mm for a restoration on a bone-level implant, 3 mm for a restoration on a tissue-level implant Minimum gingival height - 0.5 mm Maximum angulation correction - 15° Zirconia Crown Abutments and Titanium Crown Abutments willed from zirconia blanks and titanium alloy blanks respectively, each conforming to the standards cited above. Design parameters shown above are specified in labeling and are included in the CAD library provided by TRI Dental Implants Int. AG. The subject device implants, healing components and abutments (except for the Zirconia Crown Abutment), and abutment screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. The grit-blasting and acid-etching procedure is applied to the endosseous surface of all subject device dental implants and is identical to the process used to manufacture the dental implants cleared in K151916. Selected implants and abutments manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F136) are anodized using standard electrolytic passivation processing to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface and to impart a distinctive surface color; no dyes or coloring additives are used. This anodization process is identical to the anodization process used on abutments cleared in K151916. Titanium allov subject device components are manufactured from the same materials, are treated with the same surface treatments and are manufactured in the same facilities using the same manufacturing processes as used for devices previously cleared in K151916.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a dental implant system and patient-specific abutments manufactured using CAD-CAM technology. While CAD-CAM involves digital design and manufacturing, there is no mention of AI or ML being used for design, analysis, or any other function.

No.
The TRI-matrix® Implant Line and its components are intended for the rehabilitation of edentulous and partially edentulous patients by restoring chewing function, which is a restoration of a function, not a therapeutic treatment of a disease or condition.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that this device is an implant system used for rehabilitation and restoration of chewing function, which are treatment procedures. There is no mention of diagnostic functions or capabilities.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as dental implants, healing components, abutments, and abutment screws made of titanium alloy and zirconia. While CAD-CAM technology is mentioned for manufacturing patient-specific abutments, the core device is a physical implant system, not software.

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 for "placement in the bone of the maxillary or mandibular arch for the rehabilitation of edentulous and partially edentulous patients." This describes a surgical implant procedure, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details dental implants, healing components, abutments, and screws. These are all physical devices intended for surgical implantation and restoration of chewing function. There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any components used to examine specimens from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
  • 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), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on mechanical properties (fatigue testing, compression), biocompatibility, sterilization, and surface analysis. These are relevant to the safety and efficacy of a surgical implant, not the performance of a diagnostic test.

In summary, the TRI-matrix® Implant Line is a medical device intended for surgical implantation and dental restoration, not for performing diagnostic tests in vitro.

The TRI-matrix® Crown Abutment is intended for use with an endosseous implant to function as a substructure that also serves as the final restoration, in a partially or completely edentulous patient. The abutment screw is intended to secure the TRI-matrix® Crown Abutment to the endosseous implant.

SUBJECT DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this submission is to obtain marketing clearance for the TRI-matrix® Implant Line, a series of bone-level and tissue-level root-form endosseous dental implants, corresponding healing components, abutments, and abutment screws intended for use in the mandible or maxilla to restore chewing function. The permanent abutment design in the product line is a patient-specific abutment manufactured using CAD-CAM technology, which also may be manufactured as a direct final direct restoration. The manufacture of these abutments and restorations will be at TRI Dental Implant Int. AG facilities after receipt of the digital design file of the patient-matched components from the dentist or dental lab.

TRI-matrix Bone-Level implants are intended for bone-level placement and are available in three (3) body diameters (3.75, 4.1 and 4.7 mm). The 3.75 mm body diameter is provided in five (5) lengths (8. 10. 11.5, 13, and 16 mm) and the 4.1 and 4.7 mm body diameters are provided in six (6) lengths (6.5, 8, 10, 11.5, 13, and 16 mm). TRI-matrix Bone-Level 3.75 and 4.1 mm diameter implants have a platform diameter of 3.7 mm and TRI-matrix Bone-Level 4.7 mm diameter implants have a platform diameter of 4.5 mm.

TRI-matrix Tissue-Level implants are intended for tissue-level placement and are available in four (4) body diameters (3.3. 3.75. 4.1 and 4.7 mm). The 3.3 mm body diameter is provided in three lengths (10, 11.5, and 13 mm). The 3.75 mm body diameter is provided in four lengths (8, 10, 11.5, and 13 mm). The 4.1 and 4.7 mm body diameters are provided in five lengths (6.5, 8, 10, 11.5, and 13 mm). TRI-matrix Tissue-Level 3.3 mm diameter implants have a platform diameter of 3.7 mm. TRI-matrix Tissue-Level 3.75 and 4.1 mm diameter implants are available in two platform diameters: 3.7 and 4.5 mm. TRI-matrix Tissue-Level 4.7 mm diameter implants have a platform diameter of 4.5 mm.

Healing components and abutment components for the TRI-matrix Implant Line include Surgical Cover Screw, Healing Collar, Provisional Abutment (Temporary Abutment), and patient-specific Crown Abutment. Abutment screws for the TRI-matrix Implant Line include Replacement Retaining Screw, which are designed to attach the subject device Provisional Abutment, Crown Abutment, or direct final restoration to the implant.

Crown Abutments are patient-specific abutments, fabricated using CAD/CAM technology at a TRI Dental Implants Int. AG manufacturing site. Each abutment is designed according to prescription instructions from the clinician to support a screw-retained prosthesis. The Crown Abutment is different from a normal Titanium Blank abutment because the implant-abutment connection is manufactured at the same time as the patient-specific portion (i.e., there is no stock component). Crown Abutments are fabricated in two platform diameters of 3.7 and 4.5 mm and are attached to the compatible implant with a separate screw. Crown Abutments are available as Zirconia Crown Abutments or Titanium Crown Abutments. The material of Zirconia Crown Abutments will conform to ISO 13356, Implants for surgery – Ceramic materials based on yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP). The material of Titanium Crown Abutments will conform to ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401).

A Crown Abutment also may function as a substructure in zirconia that serves as the single-unit or multiunit final restoration, using the full digital workflow with third-party planning software. For each material

5

there is an associated CAD software file within the full digital workflow that defines the specific screw, interface, and torque used for the direct restoration.

The design parameters for patient-specific Crown Abutments, direct final restorations or direct provisional restorations are:

Abutment diameter range - 4 to 13 mm Maximum abutment height - 15 mm Minimum abutment height above the trans-mucosal collar (post height) for single-unit restorations - 4 mm Maximum gingival height from the implant/abutment interface: 5 mm for a restoration on a bone-level implant, 3 mm for a restoration on a tissue-level implant Minimum gingival height - 0.5 mm Maximum angulation correction - 15°

Zirconia Crown Abutments and Titanium Crown Abutments willed from zirconia blanks and titanium alloy blanks respectively, each conforming to the standards cited above. Design parameters shown above are specified in labeling and are included in the CAD library provided by TRI Dental Implants Int. AG.

The subject device implants, healing components and abutments (except for the Zirconia Crown Abutment), and abutment screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136.

The grit-blasting and acid-etching procedure is applied to the endosseous surface of all subject device dental implants and is identical to the process used to manufacture the dental implants cleared in K151916.

Selected implants and abutments manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F136) are anodized using standard electrolytic passivation processing to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface and to impart a distinctive surface color; no dyes or coloring additives are used. This anodization process is identical to the anodization process used on abutments cleared in K151916. Titanium allov subject device components are manufactured from the same materials, are treated with the same surface treatments and are manufactured in the same facilities using the same manufacturing processes as used for devices previously cleared in K151916.

PERFORMANCE DATA

Non-clinical data submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence included: sterilization for titanium alloy components according to ISO 17665-1 and ISO 17665-2 referenced from the primary predicate device K151916, and validation for zirconia components; biocompatibility testing for titanium alloy components according to ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-12 referenced from the primary predicate device K151916, and testing for zirconia components; static compression and compression fatigue testing according to ISO 14801; surface area analysis of the subject device compared with data on the primary predicate device referenced from K151916; bacterial endotoxin testing for products provided sterile; and analysis for potential wear of assemblies of titanium alloy implants, zirconia abutments and titanium alloy screws subjected to cyclic loading in saline, using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and confocal microscopy, including analysis of particles. No clinical data were included in this submission.

EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICES

The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the primary predicate device and the additional predicate device listed above. Provided at the end of this summary are tables comparing the Indications for Use Statements and the technological characteristics of the subject device. the primary predicate device, and additional predicate device.

The Indications for Use Statement (IFUS) for the subject device is substantially equivalent to that of the primary predicate K151916. Slight differences in the language of the subject device and primary predicate device IFUS do not affect the intended use as an endosseous dental implant for support of a prosthesis to restore chewing function. Minor differences between the IFUS for the subject device and the primary predicate include the specific device names. These minor differences do not impact substantial equivalence because both IFUS express equivalent intended use to facilitate dental prosthetic restorations and are expressed equivalently using different specific wording.

Similarly, the differences between the subject device IFUS and that of the additional predicate device and reference device are related to the specific device names and inclusion of additional products. None of these minor differences impact substantial equivalence because all IFUS express equivalent intended use to facilitate dental prosthetic restorations, and the indications are expressed equivalently using different specific wording.

The subject TRI-matrix® Implant Line designs are substantially equivalent to those of the primary predicate K151916. The ranges of dimensions of body diameter, endosseous length, and platform diameter for the TRI-matrix® Bone-Level and TRI-matrix® Tissue-Level implants are within the corresponding ranges of the primary predicate K151916. TRI-matrix Bone-Level and TRI-matrix Tissue-Level implants and the primary predicate implants also are substantially equivalent in terms of endosseous thread form designs, prosthesis attachment (screw-retained), restorations (single-unit or multiunit), abutment-implant interface (internal connection), material and surface treatment.

The subject device healing component and abutment screw designs are substantially equivalent to the healing component and abutment screw designs of the primary predicate K151916. The subject device and primary predicate K151916 both include designs for Surgical Cover Screws, Healing Collars, Provisional Abutments (temporary abutments), and abutment screws. The ranges of dimensions of platform diameter and gingival height for the subject healing components are within the corresponding ranges of the primary predicate K151916. The subject healing components and the primary predicate K151916 healing components are substantially equivalent in terms of prosthesis attachment (screwretained), restorations (single-unit or multi-unit), abutment-implant interface (internal connection) and material. The subject abutment screws and the primary predicate K151916 abutment screws are substantially equivalent in terms of material.

The additional predicate device K172225 is for support of substantial equivalence of the subject Crown Abutment designs. The ranges of platform diameter and design parameters for the subject Crown Abutment are within the corresponding ranges of the additional predicate K172225.

The subject Crown Abutment and the additional predicate device K172225 also are substantially equivalent in terms of prosthesis attachment (screw-retained, cement-retained), restorations (both are intended for use with an endosseous implant to function as a substructure that serves as the final restoration), abutment-implant interface (internal connection) and material (titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 or zirconia conforming to ISO 13356).

The subject device implants that are less than 7 mm in length are substantially equivalent in size, surface area and function to the primary predicate device cleared in K151916.

7

The subject device implants, healing components, abutment screws are manufactured from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 using the identical and processing used for titanium alloy components cleared in the primary predicate K151916. Tissue-level implants, healing components, and screws manufactured from titanium allov are anodized using a standard anodization process that is identical to the anodization process used on abutments cleared in K151916.

All subject device implants, Surgical Cover Screws, and Healing Collars are provided sterile by gamma irradiation, the identical sterilization method used for sterile components in K151916. The subject device abutments (Provisional Abutment, Zirconia Crown Abutment screws are provided non-sterile to be moist heat (steam) sterilized prior to clinical use, the identical sterilization method used for non-sterile components in K151916. The moist heat sterilization cycle recommended in labeling has been validated for all subject device materials to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-9.

Confirmatory biocompatibility testing for the subject device zirconia materials was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence with regard to biocompatibility. Cytotoxicity testing was performed according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 5: Tests for in vitro cvtotoxicity, and ISO 10993-12 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials.

Mechanical performance testing of the subject device was performed according to ISO 14801 Dentistry -Implants – Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants. The fatigue limit data demonstrated that constructs of the subject device abutments manufactured to worst-case parameters, in combination with the compatible subject device implants and used according to the proposed labeling, have sufficient strength for their intended use and are substantially equivalent to predicate devices with regard to mechanical performance.

Minor differences in the designs, dimensions or sizes among the subject device, the primary predicate device, the additional predicate devices, and the reference device do not affect substantial equivalence. These minor differences do not impact safety or effectiveness because these differences are mitigated by the mechanical performance testing.

CONCLUSION

The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate device have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are materials. The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the additional predicate device encompass the same range of physical dimensions, are packaged in the same materials, and are to be sterilized using the same methods. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above.
