Overview

ISO/FDIS 13504:2026 – Dentistry - General requirements for instruments and related accessories used in dental implant placement and treatment provides internationally recognized guidelines for the manufacture and control of dental instruments and accessories specifically designed for dental implant procedures. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard applies to all instruments used directly in the placement of dental implants, whether single-use or reusable, and regardless of whether they are manually operated or connected to a power-driven system.

It addresses comprehensive safety requirements, including device classification, intended performance, performance attributes, material selection, manufacturing, sterilization, and the provision of information by manufacturers. The standard does not apply to the dental implants themselves, their directly connected components, or the systems used for indirect patient contact.

Key Topics

  • Device Classification:
    Instruments and accessories are categorized based on:

    • Type of operation (manual or motor-driven)
    • Main tissue contact (hard tissue, soft tissue, or no direct tissue contact)
    • Reprocessing requirements (reusable or single-use)
  • Intended Performance:
    Manufacturers must document and verify the functional and operational characteristics of dental implant instruments, ensuring safety and efficacy under intended use conditions.

  • Performance Attributes:
    This includes assessment of physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, as well as resistance to wear, ease of cleaning, and suitability for repeated sterilization. Requirements also cover dimensional tolerances, contamination risk, biocompatibility, and usability.

  • Material Selection:
    Materials must be selected in accordance with requirements and clarified in the standard’s normative annex, emphasizing long-term clinical safety and biological compatibility.

  • Performance Evaluation:
    Pre-clinical and, if necessary, clinical evaluation of the instruments is required to demonstrate intended performance and safety, with reference to ISO 14971 for risk management and ISO 14155 for clinical investigations.

  • Manufacturing and Documentation:
    Manufacturers are expected to maintain comprehensive technical documentation addressing design, classification, manufacturing processes, performance evaluations, and all information necessary to support safe use.

  • Sterilization and Reprocessing:
    The standard establishes requirements for products supplied both sterile and non-sterile. Sterilization methods should comply with relevant ISO standards for health care product sterilization.

  • Labelling and Instructions:
    Manufacturers must clearly label products with critical information including manufacturer details, lot or serial numbers, size or depth indicators, and usage instructions, using ISO-compliant symbols and terms where applicable.

Applications

ISO/FDIS 13504:2026 is crucial for a wide range of stakeholders in dentistry and medical device manufacturing, including:

Introduction
The use of dental implants is increasing throughout the world. Due to new and improved applications of
dental implants, the need for better instruments and related accessories for placing dental implants and the
further manipulation of connecting parts in the craniofacial area is also growing.
Materials present in instruments used in dental implant procedures have proven to be well tolerated.
Potential adverse reactions cannot be totally ruled out, but such reactions should be mitigated.
However, long-term clinical experience of the use of the materials referred to in this document has shown that
an acceptable level of biological response can be expected when they are used in appropriate applications
and when instruments are manufactured under appropriate design considerations and processes.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux
de normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général
confiée aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire
partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier, de prendre note des différents
critères d'approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document
a été rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2
(voir www.iso.org/directives).
L'ISO attire l'attention sur le fait que la mise en application du présent document peut entraîner l'utilisation
d'un ou de plusieurs brevets. L'ISO ne prend pas position quant à la preuve, à la validité et à l'applicabilité de
tout droit de brevet revendiqué à cet égard. À la date de publication du présent document, l'ISO n’avait pas
reçu notification qu'un ou plusieurs brevets pouvaient être nécessaires à sa mise en application. Toutefois,
il y a lieu d'avertir les responsables de la mise en application du présent document que des informations
plus récentes sont susceptibles de figurer dans la base de données de brevets, disponible à l'adresse

révision technique.
Les principales modifications sont les suivantes:
— les références normatives ont été mises à jour pour inclure tous les documents ISO auxquels il est fait
référence dans le présent document;
— les articles terminologiques 3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3 et 3.3.4 ont été supprimés;
— l'Article 7 a été révisé pour que le choix direct des matériaux soit conforme à l'Annexe A;
— les informations relatives au retraitement ont été adaptées au 10.3;
— les Tableaux A.1, A.2 et A.3 ont été remplacés par une référence à l'ISO 21850-1;
— l'Annexe B a été supprimée car ces informations figurent dans l'ISO 21850-1.
Il convient que l'utilisateur adresse tout retour d'information ou toute question concernant le présent
document à l'organisme national de normalisation de son pays. Une liste exhaustive desdits organismes se
trouve à l'adresse www.iso.org/members.html.

Introduction
L’utilisation des implants dentaires est en constante augmentation partout dans le monde. Compte tenu des
applications nouvelles et améliorées de l’implantologie dentaire, il est de plus en plus nécessaire de disposer
d’instruments et d’accessoires connexes de meilleure qualité pour la pose d’implants dentaires et pour les
manipulations ultérieures des éléments de connexion dans la région cranio-faciale.
Les matériaux constitutifs des instruments utilisés dans le cadre des procédures d’implantologie se sont
révélés être bien tolérés. Les réactions négatives éventuelles ne peuvent pas être totalement écartées, mais
il convient de les atténuer.
Toutefois, l’expérience clinique acquise de longue date concernant l’utilisation des matériaux auxquels il est
fait référence dans le présent document a démontré qu’un niveau acceptable de réponse biologique peut être
attendu lorsque ces matériaux sont utilisés dans des applications appropriées et lorsque la conception et les
processus de fabrication des instruments sont appropriés.
