Intended Use

The Rootform Dental Implant is an endosseous dental implant intended to provide support for prosthetic attachments. The Rootform Dental Implant is surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide attachment and support for an abetment and prosthetic devices including artificial teeth, bridges, and dentures.

  • Straight abutments
  • Angled abutments
AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary describes a dental implant system. The provided document explicitly states that the determination of substantial equivalence was NOT based on an assessment of performance data (nonclinical or clinical). Therefore, the following information cannot be extracted from the provided text:

  • Acceptance criteria and reported device performance
  • Sample sizes, data provenance, and ground truth information for test sets
  • Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth
  • Adjudication methods
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness study results
  • Standalone performance
  • Sample size and ground truth establishment for training sets

The device's substantial equivalence was determined by comparing its technological characteristics to predicate devices.

Here's the information that can be extracted:


1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Not applicable. The determination of substantial equivalence was not based on an assessment of performance data.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

Not applicable. No performance data (nonclinical or clinical) were assessed for the determination of substantial equivalence.

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. No performance data (nonclinical or clinical) were assessed for the determination of substantial equivalence.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. No performance data (nonclinical or clinical) were assessed for the determination of substantial equivalence.

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. No performance data (nonclinical or clinical) were assessed for the determination of substantial equivalence.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This device is a dental implant system, not an AI algorithm. No standalone performance evaluation was performed for the determination of substantial equivalence.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable. No performance data (nonclinical or clinical) were assessed for the determination of substantial equivalence.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is a dental implant system, not an AI algorithm. No training set was used for the determination of substantial equivalence.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. This device is a dental implant system, not an AI algorithm. No training set was used for the determination of substantial equivalence.


Summary of the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria (based on the provided text):

The Rootform Dental Implant System's acceptance for market clearance was based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, not on explicit performance criteria from clinical or nonclinical studies.

The study involved a comparison of technological characteristics between the Rootform Dental Implant System and the following predicate devices:

  • Imtec Corp. Mini and Universal Implants (K912262)
  • Steri-Oss HA and TPS Coated Cylindrical Implants (K921966)
  • Phoenix Dental, Inc. Opti-Max Dental Implant (K926101 and K926102)

The key characteristics evaluated for comparability were:

  • Material: All implants and associated prosthetic components are manufactured from the same material: titanium alloy (Ti6AL4V).
  • Design: All implants are described as two-stage, rootform, cylindrical, press-fit type implants.
  • Common Features: They share similar design principles, surgical implantation and loading procedures, and restorative methods and techniques.

Conclusion: The FDA determined that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on this comparison of technological characteristics. No performance data from nonclinical or clinical tests were used or required for this determination.

Intended Use

The Rootform Dental Implant is an endosseous dental implant intended to provide support for prosthetic attachments. The Rootform Dental Implant is surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide attachment and support for an abetment and prosthetic devices including artificial teeth, bridges, and dentures."

Comparison to Predicate Devices

The technological characteristics of the current device closely parallel those of the predicate devices. For example, the current device and each of the predicate device implants as well as their associated prosthetic components are manufactured from the same material, titanium alloy (Ti6AL4V). The designs are also similar in that each implant is a two-stage, rootform, cylindrical, press-fit - type implant. As such they share many common features in addition to design principles including surgical implantation and loading procedures and restorative methods and techniques.

§ 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.
