ISO/TC 106/SC 8/WG 1 - Implantable materials

ISO 19429:2015 provides a system for designating the location of an implant body within a jaw, and is intended for use with the scheme described in ISO 3950. It does not in itself indicate whether the device is visible within the oral cavity or the presence of transmucosal components or implant restorations. Since the system describes location but not restoration form, it is not necessary to use the quadrant designation numbers 5 to 8 which are employed when indicating a primary tooth. This information should be recorded by the responsible clinician in the patient's file and made available to the patient by the clinician(s) who provided the care.

ISO 22794:2007 applies to implantable materials, whether resorbable or non-resorbable, used as dental devices for filling and augmenting bones in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Products that are essentially pure (greater than 90 %) hydroxyapatite are not covered by this International Standard. Evaluation includes the physico-chemical, mechanical, biological and clinical aspects and behaviour of these implantable dental materials.
