BEGO Semados RS/RSX
Also known as: BEGO Semados RS, BEGO Semados RSX, Semados RSPro, Semados RSXPro
A BEGO implant family in grade 4 pure titanium with the TiPurePlus surface and an internal taper connection, offered with either a machined shoulder (RS) or a microstructured shoulder (RSX).
Quick facts
| Current status | Current. BEGO lists the Semados RS/RSX range on its implantology site.Manufacturer-reported[1] |
|---|---|
| Implant level | Insufficient evidence(BEGO's own documentation for RS/RSX does not classify the implant as bone level or tissue level. Checked: the RS/RSX product page; the BEGO Implant Systems product catalogue (imp_82472_20); the RS/RSX Line surgical instruction sheet (84345-08, 2024-03); the current instructions for use retrieved from BEGO's own IFU database at ifu.bego.com against article number 57962 (REF 84322-08, 2024-01); and FDA 510(k) K201700. The IFU and the 510(k) both describe the implants only as being for 'subgingival insertion in both the upper and lower jaw using a one- or two-stage surgical technique'. The catalogue describes RS as a self-tapping conical implant with a 0.5 mm machined implant shoulder and RSX with a 0.1 mm machined implant shoulder, which is a shoulder specification rather than a level classification. BEGO uses explicit level vocabulary only for a different family, calling the Semados S implant TG transgingival and 'the tissue-level implant from BEGO'. Third-party implant directories describe RS/RSX as a bone-level implant, but that wording could not be traced to BEGO.) |
| Body geometry | Conical, self-tapping implants offered with a machined shoulder (RS and RSPro) or a microstructured shoulder (RSX and RSXPro).Manufacturer-reported[1] |
| Thread design | Self-tapping thread which BEGO describes as a stress-appropriate bionic thread with an optimised cutting angle.Manufacturer-reported[1] |
| Apex design | Manufacturer documentation not located |
| Material | Grade 4 pure titanium.Manufacturer-reported[1] |
| Surface | TiPurePlus — described by BEGO as an ultrapure, homogeneous surface.Manufacturer-reported[1] |
| Connection | Internal taper abutment connection, which BEGO states leaves no gaps.Manufacturer-reported[1] |
| Platform switching | BEGO states that an integrated platform switch supports the preservation of crestal bone.Manufacturer-reported[1] |
| Available diameters | ∅ 3.0, 3.75, 4.1, 4.5 and 5.5 mm.Manufacturer-reported[1] |
| Available lengths | BEGO lists 7, 8.5, 10, 11.5, 13 and 15 mm across the range, with the availability of individual lengths varying by diameter.Manufacturer-reported[1]The product page describes a restricted length availability for the widest diameter; we have not been able to confirm the precise restriction against an ordering table, so the per-diameter breakdown is not recorded. |

The clearances below are held by BEGO Semados at brand level and cover its implant range, not BEGO Semados RS/RSX specifically. We show them here because that is the level at which regulators actually issue them.
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) clearance2 records
Cleared as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Not an FDA approval, and not a finding of safety or effectiveness.
Other1 record
Registered device establishment in Germany. Registration records where a device is made or handled; it is not a clearance, an approval, or any assessment of the product.

Clearance records for BEGO Semados 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 BEGO Semados.
