    Intended Use

    BT-Tite CV3: It is intended to be used in maxilla or mandible, for post-extraction sites and where the implant would be immediately loaded. It is intended to be used in a single stage or two stage surgical procedure.

    Mini Implant: It is intended to be used in maxilla or mandible for immediate and long-term stabilization of removable prosthesis.

    Mini Single: It is intended to be used in maxilla or mandible in anterior narrow sites of dental arch, to replace lateral teeth, dental agenesis and inferior incisors.

    Slot implant: It is intended to be used as temporary intra-oral anchorage unit in the orthodontic treatment in the superior or inferior arch or extra arch in case of edentulous patients, when necessary teeth for the anchorage are absent or the next teeth are compromised from a parodontal point of view. It facilitates the orthodontic movement of teeth. It is removed after orthodontic treatment has been completed. Slot implants are intended for single use only.

    Device Description

    BTLock implant are intended for use in the upper and/or lower jaw to support prosthetic devices. such as artificial teeth, in order to restore chewing function to partially or fully edentulous patients. The main feature of BTLock implant system is an original and patented connection (US patent n° 6659700 B2 dated December 9th 2003, attachment nº 11). This connection has no compatibility with other systems. All prosthetic components and accessories are exclusive for BTLock implant system. It included BT-Tite CV2 and BT-Tite Standard lines which have been approved by the FDA with the 510(K) number 073458.

    BT-Tite CV3 is an implant line which includes fixture and abutment joined together by a through screw. CV3 fixture is machined from titanium, with a deep thread, micro-grooves on the collar, 6 longitudinal long grooves along the body till the collar, DMA surface and a platform designed for the platform-switching. The surface treatment called DMA (which stands for doppia mordenzatura acida, that is double acid-etching) is obtained by the combination of sand-blasting and double acid-etching. This treatment is absolutely equivalent to BT-Tite (no material is added, no changes in the material used for the treatment: just acid-etching is performed twice instead than once).

    This line features a conical-cylindrical shape as the other fixtures of BTLock system. Therefore, because of this equivalence, I submitted the same tests carried for the other lines (BT-Tite One, BT-Tite CV2, BT-Tite Standard).

    It is available in 3 diameters (3,75 - 4,5 - 5,5 mm) and 5 lengths (8 - 10 - 11,5 - 13 -16 mm). The technical details of the product are included in its own drawing (see attachment nº 18).

    Mini Implant: The fixture of the mini implant line is machined from titanium and self-threading. They are available in 3 diameters (2 - 2,5 - 3 mm) and 3 lengths (11,5 - 13 - 16 mm). The implant length includes the machine-cut collar (1,5 mm) and the threaded part which features a surface treatment called BT-Tite, which is obtained by the combination of sand-blasting and acid-etching.

    Mini Single: It is a self-threaded and tapered implant made of titanium alloy. The fixture's body features BT-Tite as surface treatment (already approved by FDA, see K073458). This implant has a one-piece design, that is the abutment is integrated to the implant, and an anatomic design. The implant and the abutment are made of the same material.

    It is available in 2 diameters (2,5 - 3 mm) and 4 lengths (10 - 11,5 - 13 - 16 mm).

    Slot Implant: This device is made of titanium alloy, has a tapered and self-tapping shape. The head has 2 slots, one hole and one neck. The neck is polished (in order not to interfere with soft tissue). It can be loaded immediately.Its smooth threaded surface allows easy removal at the end of treatmet: as a matter of fact because complete osteointegration is neither expected nor desired with this anchorage system because its utilization is temporary.

    It is available in 2 diameters (1,6 - 2 mm) and 3 lengths (6 - 7,5 - 9 mm).

    AI/ML Overview

    The BTLock dental implants (BT-Tite CV3, Mini Implant, Mini Single, Slot Implant) were approved through the 510(k) pathway, which establishes substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices rather than proving device performance against specific acceptance criteria in a standalone study. Therefore, the information typically requested regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies in the context of an AI/ML device is not directly applicable to this submission.

    However, based on the provided document, here's an attempt to extract relevant information that might loosely align with your request, focusing on the studies conducted to support the safety and effectiveness for substantial equivalence:

    Summary of Information from K083869 for BTLock Dental Implants:

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

    This information is not provided in a discrete table format with acceptance criteria and corresponding performance metrics for the device itself. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The "performance" is implicitly deemed equivalent if the materials, treatments, and mechanical properties are substantially similar, and if the biocompatibility and mechanical tests are passed.

    The document mentions several tests performed:

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

    • Biocompatibility & Mechanical Tests: Sample sizes are not explicitly stated in the provided summary.
    • Clinical Study: Mentioned as a "multi-centred clinical study" (Attachment nº 40). The sample size, country of origin, and whether it was retrospective or prospective are not specified in the summary.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    This is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission, as it relates to evaluating device performance against a "ground truth" typically seen in ML/AI studies. For mechanical and biocompatibility tests, validated test methods are used, and for the clinical study, patient outcomes would be observed and assessed by medical professionals, but not in the sense of "ground truth establishment" for an AI model.

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

    This is not applicable to this type of device submission. Adjudication methods are typically used in studies where human readers are establishing "ground truth" or evaluating AI output, which is not the primary focus here.

    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:

    This is not applicable. This is a submission for dental implants, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, no MRMC comparative effectiveness study was performed in the context of human readers improving with AI assistance.

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

    This is not applicable. The device is an endosseous dental implant; there is no algorithm or AI component involved to perform a standalone evaluation.

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

    • For biocompatibility tests, ground truth would be established by standard biological assays and thresholds (e.g., cell viability, immune response, pyrogenicity limits).
    • For mechanical tests, ground truth would be established by engineering specifications and failure criteria.
    • For the clinical study, the "effectiveness" would be assessed through outcomes data in patients, such as successful osseointegration, stability of prostheses, chewing function restoration, and absence of adverse events, monitored by dental professionals.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    This is not applicable as there is no AI/ML model for which a training set would be required.

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

    This is not applicable for the same reason mentioned in point 8.
