Intended Use

The SD TL Implant System is indicated for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of single or multiple-unit restorations including; cemented retained, screw retained, or overdenture restorations, and terminal or intermediate Abutment support for fixed bridgework. Abutments are indicated for screw-retained single restorations or cement-retained single of multi-unit restorations. SD TL Implant System is dedicated for two stage surgical procedures and for immediate loading when there is good primary stability and an appropriate occlusal load. All digitally-designed Pre-Milled Abutments are intended to be sent to an ARUM DENTISTRY validated milling center for manufacture.

Device Description

An endosseous dental implant is a device made of a material such as Pure Titanium (Conforming to ASTM F67) which will be placed in the alveolar bone to replace the function of the missing tooth. The SD TL Implant System consists of dental implants, abutments for use in one or two-stage dental implant placement and restorations.

The implant-abutment connection is tight and precise fitting with non-submerged external connection. The surface of the fixture is treated with SLA (Sandblasted with Large-grit and Acidetching). It is only part to be implanted into bone, and to provide connection of prosthetic devices or other components of a dental implant set with human body (mandibular or maxillary bone). The SD TL Implants are available with a gingival height of 1.5 mm.

The abutment is made of Ti-6Al-4V Eli (Conforming to ASTM F136) to be used in fabricating patient-specific abutments. The subject devices are indicated for cemented or screw-and cement retained prosthesis (SCRP) restorations. Each patient-specific abutment is individually prescribed by the clinician. The Multi Pre-Milled cylinders come in engaging and non-engaging types. All designed abutments are sent to an ARUM DENTISTRY validated milling center.

The diameters of Multi Pre-Milled Cylinder are 4.8 mm Square.

AI/ML Overview

There were no acceptance criteria or studies on device performance to meet stated acceptance criteria discussed in the provided text. The text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "SD TL Implant System," which is a dental implant system. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on material, design, intended use, and non-clinical performance testing (biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf-life, and mechanical testing).

The document states that biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf-life, and mechanical performance testing (according to ISO 14801 for static compression and compression fatigue) were conducted. It concludes that "The results of the above tests have met the criteria of the standards and demonstrated the substantial equivalence with the primary predicate." However, specific acceptance criteria values for these tests and the detailed results of how the device met them are not provided in the document.

Therefore, for the requested information:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not provided. The document generally states that tests met "the criteria of the standards" but does not enumerate these criteria or specific performance values.
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not provided. The document mentions mechanical testing according to ISO 14801 but does not specify sample sizes or data provenance.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience): Not applicable, as this device certification is for a dental implant system based on non-clinical performance, not an AI/diagnostic device requiring expert ground truth for a test set.
  4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable for this type of device and testing.
  5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable, as this is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/diagnostic device.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the context of an AI/diagnostic device. For this dental implant, "ground truth" would be the established performance standards (e.g., ISO manufacturing standards, material properties, mechanical strength benchmarks) against which the device's physical properties and performance are measured.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device requiring a training set.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

§ 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.
