Overview

Astra Tech is the largest of Dentsply Sirona’s implant brands and the one most often named on UK treatment plans, usually as “Astra Tech EV”. The EV generation reorganised the range around one prosthetic connection shared by three differently shaped implant bodies, which simplifies restoration but also means older Astra Tech implants — the TX generation and earlier — do not necessarily take the same components. Anyone with an implant placed before that changeover should keep the generation as well as the brand in their records. The brand reached Dentsply through the acquisition of the Swedish company Astra Tech, and it has kept its own name since.

Regulatory record

Read this before drawing conclusions. A clearance or certificate means a device may legally be sold in a market. It is not a finding that the implant performs well, and it is not a comparison against other implants. In particular, FDA "clearance" is not FDA "approval" — clearance means the FDA accepted the device as substantially equivalent to one already on the market. What these actually mean →

FDA 510(k) clearance13 records

Cleared as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Not an FDA approval, and not a finding of safety or effectiveness.

Clearance records for Astra Tech Implant System were retrieved from the issuing authority's own database, not from the manufacturer's marketing material. We attribute a clearance to a brand only when the filing holder belongs to that brand's corporate family — third-party clearances for compatible components are excluded, because they belong to the company that made the component, not to Astra Tech Implant System.
