Intended Use

The BioHorizons Dental Implant System may be used in the mandible and maxilla for use as an artificial root structure for single tooth replacement or as abutments for fixed bridgework and denture retention.

Device Description

The BioHorizons Dental Implant System is a comprehensive system containing implants, surgical components, and prosthetic components. The implants are specifically designed to optimize strain distribution to contiguous bone under functional loading in order to promote strain-induced bone growth and interface maintenance over the long term. This improvement in biomechanical performance is achieved by optimizing implant designs specifically for each bone density classification (D1, D2, D3, D4) in the mandible and maxilla. Four implant designs, corresponding to each bone density classification, are available in four and five mm diameters. Each implant design, manufactured from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F 136, is available in two lengths and may feature a titanium plasma-spray (TPS) or hydroxyapatite (HA) coating.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for a dental implant system. It describes the device and its intended use, but it does not contain information on acceptance criteria for a study demonstrating device performance based on clinical outcomes or a comparison to an AI model.

The "Product Evaluation" section states that evaluation consisted of "mechanical testing of the implant and bioactive coating mechanical tests." This indicates an engineering or lab-based evaluation, not a clinical study involving human patients or an AI algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or study details as they are not present in the provided text.

§ 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.
