Overview

Drive is the soft-bone implant in the Grand Morse family. Its square thread profile and reverse cutting chambers are designed to engage poorly mineralised bone and to let the implant be advanced under control, which is the practical problem in type III and IV bone. It is offered in only three diameters, which is consistent with a design aimed at a specific situation rather than at general use. Because it shares the Grand Morse connection with Helix and Titamax, the prosthetic components are the same across all three.

Popular comparisons

The clearances below are held by Straumann at brand level and cover its implant range, not Neodent Drive GM 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) clearance30 records

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

1219 device records—Straumann—

Clearance records for Straumann 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 Straumann.
