Intended Use
The esthetic healing caps are intended to protect the inner configuration of the M implant and the outer 45° shoulder of the implant during the healing phase after implant placement. The esthetic healing cap also serves to maintain, form, and stabilize the soft tissue during the healing phase. The primary indication for the esthetic healing cap is in the intra-oral esthetic zone where soft fissue conditioning is essential to achieve optimal esthetic results with implant-borne restorations.
Device Description
The ITI esthetic healing caps are titanium devices which are mounted onto an ITI implant before the soft tissue is sutured in place around the implant. These healing caps are intended to protect the inner configuration of the ITI implant and the 45s outer shoulder of the implant during the healing phase after the placement of the implant. The esthetic healing caps also serve to maintain, form, and stabilize the soft tissue during the healing phase. The primary indication for the esthetic healing caps is in the esthetic zone of the oral cavity where soft tissue conditioning is essential to achieve an optimal esthetic result with implant-borne restorations. The esthetic healing cap remains in place for six to twelve weeks. The ITI esthetic healing cap is available in two heights (2.0 mm and 3.5 mm). Each cap consists of two parts: the body of the healing cap itself and a corresponding occlusal screw which aftixes the cap onto the implant. The healing caps and the occlusal screws are composed of commercially pure Grade 4 titanium meeting ASTM F67-95. The esthetic healing caps are designed with a bevel which should be positioned either labially or bucally. This bevel enables positioning of the mucoperiosted! flap over the esthetic healing cap after implant placement without subjecting the flap to tension.

The device description and intended use are purely mechanical and do not mention any computational or data-driven aspects. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly "Not Found".

No
The device is described as an esthetic healing cap used post-implant placement to protect the implant, maintain soft tissue, and aid in esthetic results, rather than to treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device description indicates that the esthetic healing caps are titanium devices used to protect implants and stabilize soft tissue during the healing phase, not to diagnose any condition or disease.

No

The device is described as a physical titanium device (healing cap) with an occlusal screw, clearly indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The described device is a physical implant component (esthetic healing cap) used in vivo (within the body) during the healing phase after dental implant placement. Its purpose is to protect the implant, shape soft tissue, and aid in the healing process.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device does not perform any tests on biological samples to provide diagnostic information. It is a therapeutic and protective device.

Therefore, the esthetic healing cap falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment and healing, not an in vitro diagnostic 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.
