Intended Use

The Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System is designed for use in edentulous sites in the mandible or maxilla as a single tooth replacement. These implants are indicated for delayed loading.

Device Description

The Proximerge 2TM Dental Implant System is an integrated system of endosseous dental implants with corresponding abutments, temporary abutments, and closure screws. The implants are designed with elongation in the mesial-distal dimension. The implants have a 7mm length and a mesial-distal elongated footprint in 4.5x6.3mm, 4.5x7.6mm, 4.5x9.1mm, and 4.5x10.5mm options and are press-fit into the bone. The abutments have a 0° angulation, have post and gingival heights of 4.5mm and 2.4mm respectively for each implant size, and have a tapered implant-abutment interface . Temporary tissue former abutments (also called healing abutments) and healing caps are offered to protect the implant until the abutment is attached; the tissue formers and healing caps have the same angulation and implant-abutment interface as the permanent abutments. An M1.8 capture screw attaches the abutment, the tissue forming abutment, or the healing cap to the implant. All components in the Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System are manufactured from Ti-6A1-4V ELI per ASTM F136.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device, the Proximerge™ 2 Dental Implant System, seeking 510(k) clearance from the FDA. It details device characteristics, comparisons to predicate devices, and performance data from non-clinical testing. However, it does not include acceptance criteria for an AI/ML powered device, nor does it describe a study involving an AI/ML model's performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding AI/ML acceptance criteria or a study proving an AI device meets them based on the input text. The information requested (acceptance criteria table, sample size, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, ground truth, training set size, etc.) is specifically for AI/ML performance evaluation, which is not present in this document about a dental implant system.

Dear Nathan Wright:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The subject and predicate devices have similar technological characteristics and the minor differences of safety and effectiveness. The following is a comparison between the subject and predicates:

Indications for Use:The Proximerge™ 2 DentalImplant System is designed foruse in edentulous sites in themandible or maxilla as a singletooth replacement. Theseimplants are indicated fordelayed loading.The Bicon implant is designed foruse in edentulous sites in themandible or maxilla for support ofa complete denture prosthesis, afinal or intermediate abutment forfixed bridgework or for partialdentures, or as a single toothreplacement.The 6.0 x 8.0mm implant isdesigned for use in edentuloussites in the mandible or maxillafor support of a completedenture prosthesis, a terminal orintermediate abutment for fixedbridgework, partial dentures, ora single tooth replacement.Straumann® Dental implants areindicated for oral endostealimplantation in the upper and lowerjaw arches and for the functional andaesthetic oral rehabilitation ofedentulous and partially dentatepatients. Straumann® Dental implantsare also indicated for immediate orearly implantation following extractionor loss of natural teeth. Implants can beplaced with immediate function onsingle-tooth and/or multiple-toothapplications when good primarystability is achieved and withappropriate occlusal loading to restorechewing function. The prostheticrestorations used are single crowns,bridges and partial or full dentures,which are connected to the implantsthrough the corresponding components(abutments).The XL Dental Implant System isintended for implantation in themaxillary or mandibularmolar region where bone exists andthe surgeon has determined that theplacement of a narrower diameterimplant would increase theprobability of failure due to poorprimary stability, or increasedsurgical procedures leading tocomplications. This XL implantsystem provides support for fixed orremovable dental prostheses in asingle tooth, partially edentulousprostheses or full arch prostheses. Itfurther adds the option forimmediate loading on single andsplinted multiple unit restorationswhen good primary stability isachieved and with appropriateocclusal loading, to restore chewingfunction.Subject indications are similar to theindications of K092035 and K972417.The predicate and reference devicesare for delayed loading as well but didnot specify so in their indications foruse statement. The predicate andreference devices offer additionalapplications such as support fordenture and bridgework prostheses thatthe subject does not seek to indicate.The subject indications are similar tothose of K171784 and K201334 butthose reference devices are intendedfor both immediate and delayedloading and include additionalindications not covered by subject.

§ 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.
