Overview

Z-Systems is a Swiss firm in Oensingen that has specialised in zirconia ceramic implants since 2004, making it one of the earliest dedicated ceramic-implant manufacturers. Its current work centres on two-piece, screw-retained zirconia implants — historically the hardest thing to achieve in ceramic, because a screw joint in a brittle material is demanding to engineer. The distinction that matters for patients is material: these are metal-free implants, chosen mainly by people who want to avoid titanium, and not simply a white version of a standard implant.

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) clearance8 records

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

Clearance records for Z-Systems 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 Z-Systems.
