Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Test:
Mechanical strength testing of the implant system was performed according to FDA "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implants Abutments".
The IABP and ISPA subject devices are manufactured from Grade 4 Titanium (Ti CP4). Mechanical Testing was conducted according to ISO 14801:2016 Dentistry — Implants Dynamic loading test for endosseous dental implants .
Worst Case Scenario: the highest abutment angulation and the lowest diameter implant were tested. The worst case chosen was 25 degrees abutment angulation and 3.3mm diameter.
Static and dynamic compression performance tests were conducted on two types of dental implants: Implant Active Bio Plus (IABP)3.3x13 and Implant Superior Active(ISPA)3.5x13, along with Angulated Titanium Abutment 25 ° angulation.
The results of the testing indicate that the Alpha Dent Implants ISPA and IABP are substantial equivalent to the predicate devices sighted in this submission.
Surface testing:
SEM/EDX analysis was conducted to assess cleanliness of the implant surface.
The SLA blasting and acid etching techniques used for surface modification of the dental implants are effective in creating a clean and biocompatible surface. The SEM and EDX analysis validate that no harmful alumina or chemicals remain on the implant surface, with only slight residues of sodium, chlorine, and carbon detected due to the NaCl packaging. The overall surface properties of the modified implants align with established standards in the industry.
Additionally, testing specific to the hydrophilic surface was conducted on aged implants including hydrophilicity (contact angle) measurements. Low contact angle was obtained for as manufactured and 2 years aged implants packed in saline solution (NaCl 0.9%).
A hydrophilicity test was conducted to evaluate non-aged and 2-year-aged implants. Contact angle measurements were taken using a standardized water drop test with isotonic saline (0.9% NaCl) to ensure a neutral and comparable testing environment. The primary criterion for assessing surface hydrophilicity was the contact angle between the surface and saline solution: a contact angle below 90° signifies a hydrophilic surface, while an angle above 90° indicates a hydrophobic surface. The smaller the angle, the greater the surface wettability. Additionally, the distribution rate of the droplet was qualitatively observed, where rapid spread suggests high hydrophilicity.
Results revealed that the non-aged implant exhibited a contact angle of 34°, indicating a hydrophilic surface, whereas the 2-year-aged implant showed a contact angle of 0°, reflecting complete wetting and maximal hydrophilicity.
Biocompatibility:
The IABP and ISPA implants and abutments are categorized as permanent, implant devices with tissue / bone contact according to ISO 10993-1. The implants are made of commercial pure titanium CP4 per ASTM F-67:13. Biocompatibility was conducted according to ISO 10993-1:2018, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process and includes:
- In Vitro Cytotoxicity Study ISO 10993-5:2009
For WET packaging additional leaching and toxicological assessment were conducted. Cytotoxicity after 3 years real time shelf life was conducted.
The subject device, made from Ti Grade 4 (ASTM F67-13), underwent extensive biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1:2018 to assess material differences from the Ti Grade 5 predicate device. Tests included cytotoxicity. Packaged in saline-filled polystyrene containers (WET packaging), leaching and toxicology assessments confirmed low levels of extractables, supporting substantial equivalence. Additional cytotoxicity tests on aged implant bodies showed no adverse effects, and SEM/EDX analysis confirmed a clean surface with no harmful contaminants.
MR Compatibility:
Non-clinical worst-case MRI review was performed to evaluate the devices in the MRI environment using scientific rationale and published literature (e.g., Woods, Terry O., Jana G. Delfino, and Sunder Rajan. "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices." Journal of Testing and Evaluation 49.2 (2019): 783-795), based on the entire system including all variations (all compatible implant bodies, dental abutments, and fixation screws) and material compositions. The rationale addressed parameters per the FDA guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment", including magnetically induced displacement force and torque.
Packaging:
Packaging performance testing was conducted according to ISO 11607-1:2019, Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems.
Sterilization validation:
Sterilization validation tests were conducted in compliance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1 and EN ISO 11137-2 to ensure safety and effectiveness related to Alpha Dent Implants Dental Implants System. Test results have demonstrated that the SAL of 106 was achieved and all testing requirements were met.
Pyrogenicity information provided is based on FDA Guidance on "Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submission for Devices Labeled as Sterile."
Pyrogenicity testing was performed according to USP , ANSI/AAMIST72 using the LAL method for routine testing of sterile implants.
The method used to determine that the device meets pyrogen limit specifications is LAL Endotoxin Analysis with testing limit of 20 EU/device, based on USP .
Shelf Life:
Accelerated aging, conducted in accordance with ASTM-F-1980, has been completed using devices in their final packaging configuration. Package integrity, cytotoxicity tests, and hydrophilicity tests were conducted to support a 2-year shelf-life study is currently underway and will be extended to 5 years, contingent on satisfactory results for package integrity, cytotoxicity tests, and hydrophilicity tests.
Clinical Study:
No clinical studies were performed.

5.3 SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DISCUSSION
a) Based on the information provided in comparison tables, we can make the following scientific summary and conclusions to justify that Alpha Dent Superior Active(ISPA) and Active Bio Plus (IABP) implants are substantially equivalent to MIS Dental Implant System in terms of WETpackaging.
b) Device Classification: Both Alpha Dent Implants (ISPA and IABP) and MIS Dental Implant System are classified as "Implant, Endosseous dental implants." This classification indicates that they serve the same primary purpose in dental implantology.
c) Intended Use: The intended use of both Alpha Dent Implants and MIS Dental Implant System is nearly identical. They are intended to be surgically placed in the maxillary and/or mandibular arches to support prosthetic devices, restore chewing function, and provide support for artificial teeth. Both systems can be used for single tooth or multiple teeth applications and for immediate loading under appropriate conditions.
d) Material: The subject device uses Ti Grade 4 (ASTM F67-13), the primary predicate device uses Titanium Alloy Ti Grade 5 (Ti6Al4V-ELI). AlphaDent has conducted Static and dynamic compression performance test was conducted on worst-case combination of subject Dental Implants and previously cleared dental abutments. Mechanical tests have been performed according to ISO 14801-Dentistry-Implants-Dynamic fatigue test for Endosseous Dental implants.
- . Both implants have comparable dimensions within a similar linear range.
- Each implant features an external double thread with comparable pitch values.
- The smallest implants have core diameters and thread depths that are similar in value.
f)The MIS dental implant System was selected as the reference predicate product because of their same WET packaging in NaCl 0.9%, the close match in implant range, and matching connection types.

A hydrophilicity test was conducted to evaluate non-aged and 2-year-aged implants. Contact angle measurements were taken using a standardized water drop test with isotonic saline (0.9% NaCl) to ensure a neutral and comparable testing environment. The primary criterion for assessing surface hydrophilicity was the contact angle between the surface and saline solution: a contact angle below 90° signifies a hydrophilic surface, while an angle above 90° indicates a hydrophobic surface. The smaller the angle, the greater the surface wettability. Additionally, the distribution rate of the droplet was qualitatively observed, where rapid spread suggests high hydrophilicity.
Results revealed that the non-aged implant exhibited a contact angle of 34°, indicating a hydrophilic surface, whereas the 2-year-aged implant showed a contact angle of 0°, reflecting complete wetting and maximal hydrophilicity.
g) The SLA surface treatment is characterized by a large grit sand-blasting process, resulting in macroscopic roughness on the titanium surface. The pivotal parameter in SLA surface treatment is the surface roughness value, with optimal results achieved within a narrow range of moderately rough surfaces, typically within Ra values of 1.0 - 2.0 um (Wennerberg & Albrektsson, 2009).
h) Pyrogenicity testing was performed according to USP, ANSI/AAMI ST72 using the LAL method for routine testing of sterile implants.
- h) Biocompatibility:
The subject device, made from Ti Grade 4 (ASTM F67-13), underwent extensive biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1:2018 to assess material differences from the Ti Grade 5 predicate device. Tests included cytotoxicity. Packaged in saline-filled polystyrene containers (WET packaging), leaching and toxicology assessments confirmed low levels of extractables, supporting substantial equivalence. Additional cytotoxicity tests on aged implant bodies showed no adverse effects, and SEM/EDX analysis confirmed a clean surface with no harmful contaminants.
i) Inner Package Medium and Sterilization Method: These parameters are similar for both Alpha Dent Implants and MIS Dental Implant System. They both utilize NaCl solution as the inner package medium, are intended for single use, and undergo gamma irradiation for sterilization.

6. NON-CLINICAL TEST
Mechanical strength testing of the implant system was performed according to FDA "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implants Abutments".
The IABP and ISPA subject devices are manufactured from Grade 4 Titanium (Ti CP4). Mechanical Testing was conducted according to ISO 14801:2016 Dentistry — Implants Dynamic loading test for endosseous dental implants .
Worst Case Scenario: the highest abutment angulation and the lowest diameter implant were tested. The worst case chosen was 25 degrees abutment angulation and 3.3mm diameter.
Static and dynamic compression performance tests were conducted on two types of dental implants: Implant Active Bio Plus (IABP)3.3x13 and Implant Superior Active(ISPA)3.5x13, along with Angulated Titanium Abutment 25 ° angulation.
The results of the testing indicate that the Alpha Dent Implants ISPA and IABP are substantial equivalent to the predicate devices sighted in this submission.
Surface testing
SEM/EDX analysis was conducted to assess cleanliness of the implant surface.
The SLA blasting and acid etching techniques used for surface modification of the dental implants are effective in creating a clean and biocompatible surface. The SEM and EDX analysis validate that no harmful alumina or chemicals remain on the implant surface, with only slight residues of sodium, chlorine, and carbon detected due to the NaCl packaging. The overall surface properties of the modified implants align with established standards in the industry.
Additionally, testing specific to the hydrophilic surface was conducted on aged implants including hydrophilicity (contact angle) measurements.Low contact angle was obtained for as manufactured and 2 years aged implants packed in saline solution (NaCl 0.9%)
Biocompatibility
The IABP and ISPA implants and abutments are categorized as permanent, implant devices with tissue / bone contact according to ISO 10993-1. The implants are made of commercial pure titanium CP4 per ASTM F-67:13. Biocompatibility was conducted according to ISO 10993-1:2018, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process and includes:
- In Vitro Cytotoxicity Study ISO 10993-5:2009
For WET packaging additional leaching and toxicological assessment were conducted. Cytotoxicity after 3 years real time shelf life was conducted
MR Compatibility
Non-clinical worst-case MRI review was performed to evaluate the devices in the MRI environment using scientific rationale and published literature (e.g., Woods, Terry O., Jana G. Delfino, and Sunder Rajan. "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices."
