What is it indicated for?
The Piccolo Implants and Accessories are intended for both one- and two-stage surgical procedures in the following situations and with the following clinical protocols:
• replacing maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors,
• immediate placement in extraction sites and in situations with a partially or completely healed alveolar ridge,
• immediate loading when good primary stability with appropriate occlusal loading is achieved, except in soft bone (type IV) where implant stability may be difficult to obtain.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
