Important Product Information For
Instructions For Use:
For detailed information on the specific procedure for the
product you are using, please refer to the individual product
labels or the appropriate manual on the BIOMET 3i Website.
Description:
BIOMET 3i Restorative Products are manufactured from
biocompatible titanium, titanium alloy, gold, gold alloy,
zirconium, vanadium, stainless steel, polyetheretherketone
(PEEK), cobalt chromium alloy, and polyoxymethylene (Delrin).
Please refer to product guidelines for use/Surgical Manual for
additional device information.
Indications For Use:
BIOMET 3i Restorative Products are intended for use as
accessories to endosseous dental implants for placement in the
maxilla and mandible.
Provisional Abutments are intended for use as accessories to
endosseous dental implants to support a prosthetic device in a
partially or fully edentulous patient. They are intended for use
to support a prosthesis in the mandible or maxilla for up to 180
days during endosseous and gingival healing, and are for nonocclusal loading of provisional restorations. The prostheses will
either be cement, mechanically or screw-retained to the
abutment system based on individual product design. For
compatibility of BellaTek® Patient Specific Abutments, please
refer to the BellaTek Compatibility Chart (ART1145).
Contraindications:
Placement of BIOMET 3i Restorative Products are precluded by
known patient hypersensitivity to any of the materials listed in
the Description section above.
Warnings:
Mishandling of small components inside the patient’s mouth
carries a risk of aspiration and/or swallowing. Fracture of a
restoration may occur when an abutment is loaded beyond its
functional capability. Reuse of BIOMET 3i Products that are
labeled for single-use may result in product contamination,
patient infection and/or failure of the device to perform as
intended.
PEEK components are intended for use to support single- or
multiple-unit provisional prostheses in the mandible or maxilla
for up to 180 days, at which time definitive prostheses should
be inserted.
Sterility:
Some BIOMET 3i Restorative Products are supplied sterile.
Refer to individual product labels for sterilization information; all
sterile products are labeled “STERILE”. All products sold sterile
are for single-use before the “use by” date printed on the
product label. Do not use sterile products if the packaging has
been damaged or previously opened. Products provided nonsterile may need to be cleaned and sterilized prior to use.
Please refer to the individual product labels or Restorative
Manual for more information. For products provided non-sterile
Restorative Products
requiring sterilization prior to use, BIOMET 3i recommends the
following sterilization parameters for wrapped items:
Steam gravity sterilization method (gravity-displacement cycle) Minimum exposure of fifteen (15) minutes timing at a
temperature of 270ºF (132ºC)* or
Pre-vacuum sterilization method (dynamic-air-removal cycle) Minimum exposure of four (4) minutes, four (4) pulses timing at
a temperature of 270ºF (132ºC).*
*Post sterilization, devices should be thoroughly dried for 30 minutes. Please refer
to the Surgical and Restorative Manual or package insert for the remaining care
and cleaning instructions.

loosening and aspiration. Components made from PEEK
material are intended for use for up to 180 days.
Potential Adverse Events:
Potential adverse events associated with the use of restorative
products may include: failure to integrate; loss of integration;
dehiscence requiring bone grafting; infection as reported by:
abscess, fistula, suppuration, inflammation, radiolucency; gingival
