Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
This device is a modification to existing Straumann Dental Implant Systems, designed to establish MRI compatibility. It includes dental implants and prosthetic accessories such as abutments, copings, healing caps, and closure screws, ensuring safe imaging under specific MRI conditions. The modification aligns with the classification of dental implants intended for osseointegration in the jawbone.
The device is intended for use in dental clinics by dentists or oral surgeons. It is supplied as a modification to existing Straumann systems and has been evaluated through non-clinical testing and MRI simulations to confirm MR Conditional status. The modification does not alter the original implant design but ensures compatibility with MRI systems under defined scanning parameters. Authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K190662), it adheres to regulatory standards for dental devices.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of existing Straumann dental implants can be modified to achieve MRI compatibility with this update?
This modification applies to existing Straumann dental implant systems that include implants, abutments, copings, healing caps, and closure screws. The update ensures these components are MRI Conditional, meaning they can be safely scanned under specific MRI conditions without altering the original implant design. It’s designed to work with the full range of Straumann systems already in use by dentists and oral surgeons.
How does this MRI compatibility modification differ from the original Straumann implants, and what does that mean for patients?
The modification does not change the original implant’s osseointegration function or physical design—it only adds MRI Conditional status. This means patients with these implants can now undergo MRI scans under defined scanning parameters (e.g., field strength, sequence type) without risking damage to the implant or interference with imaging. The update is purely about safety during MRI procedures, not clinical performance.
Are the modified components single-use or reusable, and how should they be handled before an MRI?
The modified components (abutments, copings, healing caps, and closure screws) are intended for reuse within a patient’s treatment plan, as they are part of the existing Straumann system. Before an MRI, ensure these components are clean and dry, as moisture or debris could affect imaging quality. The implants themselves remain in place, and the modification ensures they won’t be damaged by MRI fields under the specified conditions.
What MRI systems and scanning parameters are compatible with these modified Straumann implants?
The modification has been evaluated through MRI simulations to confirm MR Conditional status, but the exact compatible systems and parameters (e.g., field strength, sequences) are detailed in the provided labeling or technical documentation. Clinicians should consult the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific MRI settings and restrictions to ensure safe scanning. This ensures imaging safety without compromising the implant’s function.
How do I obtain this MRI compatibility update for my existing Straumann implants, and what documentation supports its regulatory status?
This update is supplied as a modification kit for existing Straumann systems, available through Straumann USA, LLC. The regulatory status is supported by an FDA 510(k) clearance (K190662), confirming it is substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices. For details on ordering or technical specifications, contact Loretta Kushner-Mooney at Straumann USA, LLC, or refer to the provided clearance documentation. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper application.
