What is it indicated for?

The NSI Implant System is intended to be implanted in the upper or lower jaw arches-to provide support for fixed or removable dental prostheses in a single tooth, partially edentulous prostheses, or full arch prostheses. It further adds the option for immediate loading on single and splinted multiple unit restorations when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
