IPD Dental Implant Abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for single or multiple dental prosthetic restorations.
IPD Dental Implant Abutments is a dental implant abutment system composed of dental abutments and screws intended to be placed into dental implants to provide support for dental prosthetic restorations.
Abutments provide basis for single or multiple tooth prosthetic restorations. They are available in a variety of connection types to enable compatibility with commercially available dental implants systems.
IPD Dental Implant Abutments submission includes the following categories of dental abutment designs:
- Healing abutments; -
- -Temporary abutments;
- Cementing titanium abutments; -
- -Titanium base (interface) abutments;
The system also includes the corresponding Titanium Screws intended to attach the prosthesis to the dental implant. Specifically:
- Ti Screw: Used during restoration fabrication.
- TiN Screw: Used in finished restorations, with TiN coating.
- TPA Screw: Used in finished angulated restorations, with TiN coating.
All subject abutments and screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3 "Implants for surgery - Metallic materials - Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminium 4-vanadium alloy".
Unfortunately, the provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves a device meets those criteria, as typically found in a clinical trial report or a performance study summary.
The document is an FDA 510(k) Premarket Notification letter for IPD Dental Implant Abutments. This type of document aims to demonstrate that a new medical device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving its performance against specific acceptance criteria through a clinical or algorithmic study.
While it mentions "bench testing to determine fulfillment of design and performance requirements" and "Static and dynamic fatigue testing...in accordance with ISO 14801," these are engineering performance tests for mechanical properties and material compatibility, not studies that would involve:
- Acceptance criteria for clinical or diagnostic performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy for a diagnostic device; efficacy for a therapeutic one).
- Sample sizes for a test set of data (e.g., patient cases/images).
- Experts establishing ground truth for a diagnostic or AI-assisted task.
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) studies or human reader performance.
- Standalone algorithm performance.
- Ground truth types like pathology or outcomes data.
- Training set sample size or ground truth establishment for a machine learning model.
The "performance data" section primarily discusses:
- Sterilization validation.
- Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, skin sensitization, irritation).
- Reverse engineering and dimensional analysis for compatibility.
- Validation of the digital workflow and software system to ensure that design and manufacturing of the top half was within the specified design parameters. (This is about engineering design parameters, not clinical acceptance of a diagnostic tool).
- Static and dynamic fatigue testing (mechanical strength).
- Modified Surfaces Information.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from this document because it is not present. This document is focused on establishing substantial equivalence based on material, design, and manufacturing processes, supported by bench engineering tests, rather than a clinical or AI performance study with acceptance criteria for diagnostic or clinical outcomes.

Table 5.1. Summary of IPD abutments categories with compatibilized OEM Implant Systems.
The abovementioned Compatible Implant Systems received FDA-clearance with the following 510(k) concurrence numbers: Brânemark K022562 (aka Various Brånemark System Dental Implant Products); Straumann® Tissue Level K130222 (aka ITI Synocta Meso Abutments), and Tapered Screw-Vent K113756 (aka Tapered Screw-Vent® X Implant).
Ti Base (Interface) abutments are used as an interface between the dental implant and the zirconia superstructure. They are attached (screw-retained) to the implant and cemented to the zirconia superstructure.
The Ti Base (Interface) is a two-piece abutment composed of the Ti Base (Interface) as the bottomhalf and the zirconia superstructure as the top-half. It consists of a pre-manufactured prosthetic component in Titanium alloy per ISO 5832-3, as well as the supporting digital library file for FDAcleared design software (e.g., 3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software cleared under K151455) which enables the design of a patient-specific superstructure by the laboratory/clinician and which will be manufactured in FDA-cleared Zirconia (e.g., DD Bio Z, K142987) according to digital dentistry workflow at the point of care or at a dental laboratory.
The design and fabrication of the zirconia superstructure for Ti Bases (Interfaces) will be conducted using a digital dentistry workflow requiring the use of the following equipment:
Scanner: 3D Scanner D850 Design Software: 3Shape Abutment Designer Software, K151455. Zirconia Material: DD Bio Z, K142987 Milling machine: Brand: Dental Concept System Model: DC1 Milling System Cement: Multilink® Automix, K123397
{6}------------------------------------------------
Ti Base (Interface) abutments design parameters for the zirconia superstructure are defined as follows:
| Minimum wall thickness: | 0.43 mm |
|---|---|
| Minimum post height for single-unit restorations: | 4.75 mm |
| Maximum gingival height: | 6.0 mm |
| Maximum angulation (Occlusal channel) | 20° |
All CAD/CAM superstructures are for straight abutments only.
The laboratory designed superstructure is attached to Ti Base (Interface) by the use of an FDA-cleared cement (i.e. Multilink® Automix, K123397). The resulting final prosthetic restoration is screwed to the dental implant. All subject abutments are single-use and provided non-sterile. Final restoration (which includes the corresponding screw) is intended to be sterilized at the dental clinic before it is placed in the patient.

Discussion on Indications for Use:
Although there has been some change in the wording the indications for use statement in comparison with predicate devices to adapt to subject device, it is considered that there has been no change in the intended use or indications for use of the IPD Dental Implants. The devices are specifically indicated for patients undergoing oral implant surgery to dental prosthetic restorations.
When comparing the indications for use subject device and primary predicate device (K201860) together with reference predicate (K170588), it is observed that all are dental abutment systems that are intended for use with implants in the maxilla and mandible to provide functional and esthetic support for detic restorations (single or multiple) as relabilitation of edentulous maxilla and mandbles.
Primary predicate K201860 refers to a specific type of abutinent (Hybrid Base) to be used as an interface between the dental implant and a cemented zirconia superstructure, wheres subject device to PD specific abutment. It is interesting to observe that reference predicates (K170588 and K 153521) refer to other types of dental abutments, as IPD do, in that sense, differences may be found on the digital dentisty workflow selected for the reference predicate (K170588 or K173908) by the use of validated milling centers versus the definition of the digital work10w system. Information on the software tools to be user to digitally design custom abutments within appropriate limits and to produce them (either at the point of care or at a dental laboratory selected by the user) has been included in this submission.
In regard to reference predicate K153521, due to the combination of dental implants and abutments, the intended use is mainly focused on dental implant indications for use, although dental abutments indications are also referenced.
For the subject device, the design and fabrication of the superstructure is conducted using a digital dentistry workflow use of the following equipment:
| Scanner: | 3Shape scanner |
|---|---|
| Design Software: | 3Shape Abutment Designer Software (K151455) |
| Zirconia Material: | DD Bio Z (K142987) |
| Milling machine: | Dental Concept System DC1 Milling System |
| Cement: | Multilink® Automix (K123397) |
and using the supporting IPD digital library file for K151455.
The adequacy of the digital dentistry workflow for the substantiated by software validation and mechanical fatigue testing provided in this submission.
{11}------------------------------------------------
Likewise, differences may be found in the list of compatibility of the subject abutments with the specific OEM implants listed for the subject device is based on engineering analysis, as well as mechanical fatigue testing, as previously referenced.
Nevertheless, no differences further than device categories included in each of the selected primary or reference predicates, the approach followed for finalizing the zirconia superstructures or claimed CEM implant systems compatibility, have been observed. It is IPD opinion that these differences do not affect the intended use of the subject device, and/or do not raise differences in terms of safety or efficacy.

The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the primary and/or reference predicate devices listed above. It is considered that the subject device is substantially equivalent based on the following aspects:
- Has the same intended use;
- Uses the same operating principle;
- Incorporates similar basic design and device categories;
- Incorporates the same or similar materials and surface coatings;
- It is sterilized using the same processes.
Ti Base (Interface) and primary predicate device are both intended to be used in a digital dentistry workflow which includes the scanning of patient's teeth setup, the design of the zirconia superstructure, the manufacturing of the superstructure, and the later cementation.
The adequacy of the digital dentistry workflow for the subject device is substantiated by software validation and mechanical fatigue testing provided in this submission.
Reference devices K170588 and K173908 refer to custom abutments intended to be used in a digital dentistry workflow but to be sent to a validated milling center for design and manufacture. Despite this, they are similar in design, device categories, materials and technological characteristics to those proposed of the subject device and just some differences in terms of surface coatings solutions applied are found, which may be covered by the secondary reference device K153521, like TiN coating. Hence, Reference devices K173908 and K153521 account for the differences in device categories and surface coatings compared to Primary Predicate K201860 to support substantial equivalence.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
The proposed devices have been subject to bench testing to determine fulfilment of design and performance requirements. Bench testing followed the recommendations provided in FDA Guidance Document – Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments.
Specifically, non-clinical performance testing on the IPD dental abutments and screws include:
- Sterilization validation to achieve a SAL of 1 x 106 according to ISO 17665-1 to ensure . sterilization of the final finished device.
- . Cytotoxicity testing according to ISO 10993-5 to demonstrate that all patient-contacting surfaces are non-cytotoxic. In addition to Skin sensitization and Irritation Testing according to ISO 10993-10 for TiN coated devices.
- Reverse engineering and dimensional analysis of original manufacturer's components (implants, abutments and screws) to confirm compatibility.
- Validation of the digital workflow and software system to ensure that design and manufacturing of the top half was within the specified design parameters.
- Static and dynamic fatigue testing of worst-case implant / abutment configurations and combinations in accordance with ISO 14801.
- . Modified Surfaces Information per FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments.
Non-clinical performance testing showed that IPD abutments and screws met the applicable specifications and requirements.
No clinical testing was performed, the determination of substantial equivalence is supported by nonclinical testing.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The subject device and the primary predicate device have the same intended use and have similar technological characteristics. The subject device and the predicate and reference devices encompass the same range of device categories, diameters, and similar designs. The subject and predicate and reference devices are produced using similar materials and surface coatings, as well as fabrication processes, and are to be sterilized by the user using similar methods.
Based on the similarities observed and the results of non-clinical testing performed, we conclude that the data included in the submission demonstrate that the subject device, IPD Dental Implant Abutments, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
