Intended Use
The Allfit® STI implants are screw type endosseous dental implants made of commercially pure CP Titanium Grade 4. Provided the existence of adequate bone supply in terms of bone quality, bone width and height, Allfit® STI implants can be used for all indications requiring oral endosseous implants for functional, aesthetic rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate upper or lower jaws. The restoration may comprise: - Single teeth replacement for gaps up to the width of Incisive and Premolars . - Bridge substitution in edentulous, partially or fully dentate jaws . - Bracing for orthodontist regulation systems . - Providing retention and support for dentures through bars and/or ball attachment . The implants must be used only in conjunction with the associated original components and instruments of the system according to the indications and recommendations of Dr. Ihde Dental AG. The surgical procedures must be preceded by a comprehensive and thorough patient evaluation, preoperative diagnostics, and treatment planning. Indications for 3.3 mm ØSTI implants: STI screw implants with an external diameter of 3.3 mm are considered options for placement in alveolar ridges of limited width (5-6 mm). Since the 3.3 mm diameter STI implants exhibit lower mechanical strength values compared to the 4.1 mm and 4.8 Ø STI implants, the 3.3 mm diameter screw implants should only be used for indications involving minimal loading. Indications for 4.8 mm ØSTI implants: 4.8 mm Ø STI screw implants can be used for all indications requiring oral, endosseous implants for functional, aesthetic rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate upper or lower jaws with a width of 7 mm or more. It is recommended to always use the longest and widest (diameter) implant. Hereby the possibly influencing forces must be taken into account. It is therefore recommended, not to use implants with small diameters in the posterior side for single teeth implantation. The anatomical and prosthetic conditions have to be taken into consideration. For a proper use of the STI implants, the consultation of The Allfit® STI instructions for use, provided by Dr. Ihde Dental AG, including the list of absolute, relative and local contraindications, is absolutely indispensable.
Device Description
The implants, produced from CP titanium 4, are available is in three diameters (3.1; 4.1 and 4.8 mm) and 6 insertion lengths: (7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17) respectively (8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 for the long neck STI implants). The neck of the implant, which remains above the bone crest after the implantation, is a smooth machined surface to permit the attachment of epithelial tissue. The STI implants are characterized through a rotation symmetrical structure with a thread showing high thread intervals. The thread interval depends on the implant diameter: 1 mm for the implants of 3.3 mm diameter, and 1.25 mm for the implants of 4.1 and 4.8 mm diameter. The main feature of the thread form is the 75° orientation of the surface of the thread to the implant axis, rather than parallel to the implant axis, and so directing compressive forces into the bone. The outside contact area between the implant and its abutment shows a slope of 45° to maximize prosthesis stability, otherwise this area is flat. The implant does not possess any inside or outside hex. The rotation secured screw (against the abutment) occurs over the friction of the inside cone, hereby the inside screw thread M2 pulls against the cone. The creation of high adhesion friction fit leads to a secure connection of implant and abutment. Single crowns can be screwed on the implant, if secured abutments (for example OSA STI) are used. Allfit STI-implants are available in two neck heights: 1.8 mm and 2.8 mm, however the total length of the implant is always identical. Therefore the endosseous part is smaller in the case of 2.8mm neck height. The choice between the 2 alternatives depend on the clinical situation of the soft tissue: In the molar region, thick soft tissues are usually suitable for the long neck, while in the anterior region, esthetic aspects and thin soft tissue are suitable for smaller neck portions.

Explanation: The device is an oral endosseous dental implant designed for functional and aesthetic rehabilitation, not for diagnosing medical conditions. The document mentions "preoperative diagnostics" but clarifies that these diagnostics precede the use of the Allfit® STI implants, indicating the implants themselves are not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly describes physical dental implants made of titanium, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Allfit® STI implants are screw-type endosseous dental implants made of titanium. Their intended use is for the functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate jaws by being surgically implanted into the bone.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. It is a physical implant placed within the body.

Therefore, the Allfit® STI implants fall under the category of a surgical implant or medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the device ડ.

The implants, produced from CP titanium 4, are available is in three diameters (3.1; 4.1 and 4.8 mm) and 6 insertion lengths: (7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17) respectively (8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 for the long neck STI implants). The neck of the implant, which remains above the bone crest after the implantation, is a smooth machined surface to permit the attachment of epithelial tissue.

The STI implants are characterized through a rotation symmetrical structure with a thread showing high thread intervals. The thread interval depends on the implant diameter: 1 mm for the implants of 3.3 mm diameter, and 1.25 mm for the implants of 4.1 and 4.8 mm diameter. The main feature of the thread form is the 75° orientation of the surface of the thread to the implant axis, rather than parallel to the implant axis, and so directing compressive forces into the bone.

The outside contact area between the implant and its abutment shows a slope of 45° to maximize prosthesis stability, otherwise this area is flat. The implant does not possess any inside or outside hex. The rotation secured screw (against the abutment) occurs over the friction of the inside cone, hereby the inside screw thread M2 pulls against the cone. The creation of high adhesion friction fit leads to a secure connection of implant and abutment. Single crowns can be screwed on the implant, if secured abutments (for example OSA STI) are used.

Allfit STI-implants are available in two neck heights: 1.8 mm and 2.8 mm, however the total length of the implant is always identical. Therefore the endosseous part is smaller in the case of 2.8mm neck height. The choice between the 2 alternatives depend on the clinical situation of the soft tissue: In the molar region, thick soft tissues are usually suitable for the long neck, while in the anterior region, esthetic aspects and thin soft tissue are suitable for smaller neck portions.

Basis for Substantial Equivalence

The Allfit® STI implant system is significantly equivalent to the cleared, Straumann ITI Implant System (K955281, K983742). The STI implant system is in terms of 111 miliplain bybolif (11/1/2011 thickness, screw diameters, screw thread heights & rises), material composition, sterility method, intended use, abutments, accessories, indications for use and target population, very similar to the cleared Straumann ITI system.

The endosseous surface of the STI implants is first mechanically shaped, then cleaned The choossoous surface of this surface treatment method enables the increase and said blusiou with i with significantly improve the grow of the bone after the implantation. In contrast to the STI implants, the cleared Straumann ITI implant mipunanted into the bone has an anchorage surface of a Titanium Plasma poraved TPS coating of 20-30 um thickness. This process yields also to very rough, bone friendly implant surfaces. In contrast to the sand blasting method (STI), the TPS method is complex and technically sensible. If this method is not conducted adequately, this may lead to undesired caves and niches within the surface of the implant. If this occurs, it is possible, that these caves and niches can not be cleaned effectively and therefore could offer a good substratum for bacteria. In this respect, the sand blasting method offers the assurance for a rough, cave-free surface.

The STI implants are produced in one single piece with a small grip, which is then locked into the cover of the primary packaging. Before the actual implantation, the iooked this first screwed on the insertion tool and then broken off from its grip. After breaking the grip, a non treated rise of pure Titanium with approximately 0.6 mm diameter and 0.2 mm height remains on the break off area of the implant. This method has been appreciated by the practicing dentists, because it enable a secure functioning and permit to avoid any contact with other materials or substances. In the case of the and permis to a volu ants, the implant hangs within a Titanium husk ring, separating the implant from the packaging material.

The Allfit STI RT LN (long neck) implants are intended, - similar to the previously cleared Straumann ITI-Implants-, for single stage protocols. However, in rare cases, it may be possible to cover the tissue over the long neck and change the procedure to two stages. The Allfit STI short neck implants show a sand blasted surface, which is 1 mm longer than the long neck type. This leads to a shorter neck: instead of 3,3 mm the total neck portion is 2.3 mm only. Consequently it is easier to cover the implant after placement with soft tissue and change the protocol to a two stage procedure. In general, with the short neck, Allfit STI RT implant, are suitable for both types of surgery: One and two stage. The short neck makes it easier to cover the implant after placement .

Premarket Notification Certification and Summary: 8.

I certify, in my capacity as Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Ihde Dental AG, that I have conducted a reasonable search of all information known or otherwise available about the types and causes of safety or effectiveness problems that have been reported for the Allfit® STI implants. I further certify that I am aware of the types of problems to which the Allfit® STI implants are susceptible and that, to the best of my knowledge, the following summary of the types and causes of safety or effectiveness about the Allfit® STI implants is complete and accurate.

Failure to osseointegrate or loss of osseointegration can be caused by:

  • Improper patient selection, patients with systemic diseases which affect bone . physiology, patients with habits such as bruxing or clenching, patients who are physically or psychologically unable to carry out proper implant hygiene, patients with heavy smoking or alcohol use.
  • Improper surgical technique such as overheating of bone. .
  • Improper case planning or restorative technique: Overloading of implants through . improper placement, Use of an insufficient number of implants or excessive cantilever.
  • Improper implant processing by the manufacturer, improper handling by the . dentist resulting in contamination.

Fracture of implants can occur either on insertion of screw type implants due to excessive torque (improper surgical technique such as an error in drill selection) or in service due to loss of bone.

Fracture of abutments and abutment screws occurs in implant systems and is usually attributed to factors within the control of the implant team, such as lack of passive fit of the restoration or excessive cantilever, or within the control of the patient, such as bruxing.

There are other types of safety and effectiveness problems which have beer observed for endosseous dental implant systems. These are:

  • local soft tissue degeneration and bone resorption .
  • paresthesia .
  • perforation of the maxillary sinus, perforation of labial and lingual plates ●
  • local and systemic infection .
  • prosthetic framework fracture, bone fracture .
  • nerve injury, injury to adjacent teeth and their supporting bone .
  • . oroantral or oronasal fistula
  • . gingival hyperplasia
  • soft tissue overgrowth .
  • perforation of the gingiva by the healing screw .
  • . mucosal abscess
  • displacement of the implant into the mandibular canal .
  • hemorrhage of the floor of the mouth due to transection of the sublingual artery and . breakage of drill tip, requiring surgical removal.

Device Name:

Allfit STI Implant System

Indications for Use

The Allfit® STI implants are screw type endosseous dental implants made of commercially pure CP Titanium Grade 4. Provided the existence of adequate bone supply in terms of bone quality, bone width and height, Allfit® STI implants can be used for all indications requiring oral endosseous implants for functional, aesthetic rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate upper or lower jaws. The restoration may comprise:

  • Single teeth replacement for gaps up to the width of Incisive and Premolars .
  • Bridge substitution in edentulous, partially or fully dentate jaws .
  • Bracing for orthodontist regulation systems .
  • Providing retention and support for dentures through bars and/or ball attachment .

The implants must be used only in conjunction with the associated original components and instruments of the system according to the indications and recommendations of Dr. Ihde Dental AG. The surgical procedures must be preceded by a comprehensive and thorough patient evaluation, preoperative diagnostics, and treatment planning.

Indications for 3.3 mm ØSTI implants:

STI screw implants with an external diameter of 3.3 mm are considered options for placement in alveolar ridges of limited width (5-6 mm). Since the 3.3 mm diameter STI implants exhibit lower mechanical strength values compared to the 4.1 mm and 4.8 Ø STI implants, the 3.3 mm diameter screw implants should only be used for indications involving minimal loading.

Indications for 4.8 mm ØSTI implants:

4.8 mm Ø STI screw implants can be used for all indications requiring oral, endosseous implants for functional, aesthetic rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate upper or lower jaws with a width of 7 mm or more.

It is recommended to always use the longest and widest (diameter) implant. Hereby the possibly influencing forces must be taken into account. It is therefore recommended, not to use implants with small diameters in the posterior side for single teeth implantation. The anatomical and prosthetic conditions have to be taken into consideration.

For a proper use of the STI implants, the consultation of The Allfit® STI instructions for use, provided by Dr. Ihde Dental AG, including the list of absolute, relative and local contraindications, is absolutely indispensable.
