ISO TS 22911

Description / Abstract: This Technical Specification concerns animal tests relevant to the functional assessment of dental implant systems, using both macroscopic and microscopic parameters. It is intended for use only when risk analysis indicates a need for additional information that only animal testing can provide.

This Technical Specification is not intended to provide information on the mechanical strength of implantable materials themselves, but rather a qualitative evaluation of the implant-bone interface.

NOTE Mechanical properties of dental implant systems are described in ISO 14801^[3].
