Intended Use

S.I.N. Dental Implant System is intended for placement in the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for single-unit or multi-unit restorations. When a one-stage surgical approach is applied, the S.I.N. Dental Implant System is intended for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.

S.I.N. Dental Implant System implants with lengths of 18, 20, 22, or 24 mm may be tilted up to 30°. When used in the mandible or maxilla with implants with lengths of 18, 20, 22, or 24 mm at an angulation of 30°, a minimum of four implants must be used and must be splinted. When placed in the maxilla with lengths of 18, 20, 22, or 24 mm at angulations between 0° and less than 30°, the S.I.N. Dental Implant System implants are only indicated for multiple unit restorations in splinted applications that utilize at least two implants.

All digitally-designed custom abutments for use with Interface CAD-CAM abutments are to be sent to a S.I.N.-validated milling center for manufacture.

Device Description

The purpose of this submission is to add components to the S.I.N. Dental Implant System, which includes components cleared previously in K211921, K203725, K200992, K193096, K170398, and K051859.

This submission includes dental implants Epikut CM with a Morse taper (CM) abutment interface and an acid-etched endosseous surface, and Epikut Plus CM implants with an endosseous surface produced by acid-etching followed by application of a hydroxyapatite coating (HA ""0"). The implant design and endosseous surfaces are identical to those cleared in K211921, with the exception of the additional body/platform diameter (4.0 mm) and the longer lengths (18, 20, 22, and 24 mm).

This submission includes Multifunctional Abutments with Morse taper connections (16°, 11.5°, and 4°), and protectors and temporary cylinders for these abutments; the subject device Multifunctional Abutments are compatible with subject device implants (CM 11.5°) and previously-cleared implants (CM 16° and 4°). This submission also includes Multifunctional Abutment components (cylinders) manufactured from Co-Cr-Mo alloy compatible with the subject Multifunctional Abutments and with abutments cleared in K170392; CAD-CAM abutment components (called "Interface") manufactured from Ti-6A1-4V alloy and Co-Cr-Mo alloy, compatible with the subject Multifunctional Abutments and with abutments cleared in K170392; and screws compatible with subject device components and previously cleared components with the 11.5° Morse taper connection. All subject device abutments are straight, with no angulation allowed.

All subject device dental implants are manufactured from unalloyed titanium conforming to ASTM F67. The acid etching procedure is applied to all subject device dental implants. The acid etching process in this submission is identical to the process used to manufacture the dental implants cleared in K211921, and the HAM00 surface treatment is identical to that cleared in K211921.

The subject device implants are compatible with abutments and prosthetic components in this submission and components cleared previously in K200992, K193096, K170392, and K051859.

The subject device abutments and prosthetic components are compatible with implants and components in this submission and components cleared previously in K211921. K200992. K193096, and K170392.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the S.I.N. Dental Implant System. It does not describe an acceptance criteria or a study proving device performance against an acceptance criteria in the way typically found for AI/ML-driven medical devices. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices through non-clinical performance data and detailed comparisons of technological characteristics.

Therefore, the requested information elements related to acceptance criteria, specific study designs (test sets, training sets, expert review, MRMC studies, standalone performance), and ground truth establishment are not applicable to this type of submission.

The document focuses on showing that the new components (implants and abutments) of the S.I.N. Dental Implant System are as safe and effective as existing legally marketed predicate devices. This involves demonstrating equivalency in:

  • Intended Use: The indications for use are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
  • Technological Characteristics: Materials, manufacturing processes, design principles, sterilization methods, and performance data (non-clinical) are comparable or identical.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document, highlighting why most are not directly present:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

This type of table, with specific numerical acceptance criteria and a corresponding performance metric for an AI device, is not present because this is a 510(k) for a physical medical device (dental implants and components) and not an AI/ML software. The "performance data" provided are non-clinical tests demonstrating material properties, sterilization efficacy, biocompatibility, and mechanical integrity, which are described qualitatively or by reference to established standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM).

Here's an illustrative table based on the provided "PERFORMANCE DATA" section, but it does not represent AI/ML acceptance criteria:

Acceptance Criterion (Implicitly based on standards)Reported Device Performance (as summarized)
Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶ (ISO 11137-1 & 11137-2 for gamma; ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1 & TIR 17665-2 for moist heat)Demonstrated by selecting/substantiating a 25 kGy dose (gamma) and by overkill method (moist heat), referenced from predicate devices.

§ 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.
