scope:

This International Standard applies to implantable materials, whether resorbable or non-resorbable, used as dental devices for filling and augmenting bones in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Products that are essentially pure ( 90 %) hydroxyapatite are not covered by this International Standard. Evaluation includes the physico-chemical, mechanical, biological and clinical aspects and behaviour of these implantable dental materials. Materials such as autografts, allografts and membranes, and products for which the primary intended use is to deliver a medicinal product, are not covered by this International Standard.
