Overview

Dentium is the second of the large Korean implant manufacturers a UK patient is likely to meet in a quote from abroad, and unlike Osstem it is still a listed company. It began life under a different name, Biostech, and took the Dentium name in 2002. Its implants are commonly encountered as Implantium and SuperLine, which are separate systems rather than variants of one another. Korean manufacturers are often grouped together in patient discussion as if interchangeable; in reality Osstem, Dentium and MegaGen use different connections, and components do not cross between 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) clearance22 records

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

Of 200 records we inspected, 158 are supplied sterile, 42 are supplied non-sterile and 0 do not state it. MRI safety labelling: MR Conditional (200). A UDI listing records what the manufacturer declared about the device; it is not a clearance or an approval.

Clearance records for Dentium 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 Dentium.
