Solidex® Ti-Links and Screws is intended to be used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for prosthetic restorations. All digitally designed custom abutments for use with Solidex® Ti-Links is to be sent to a CREODENT HUDSON VALLEY validated milling center for manufacture, or to be designed and manufactured according to the digital dentistry workflow. The digital dentistry workflow integrates multiple components: scan files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine, and associated tooling and accessories.
Solidex® Ti-Links & Screws consists of a two-piece abutment, where the titanium base will be used to support a CAD/CAM designed superstructure (the second part of the two-piece abutment) that composes the final abutment. The system also includes a Solidex® Screw for fixation to the implant body. Solidex® Ti-Link are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 standard specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications and are provided in various prosthetic platform diameters. Solidex® Screw is composed of titanium alloy per ASTM F136.
Solidex® Ti-Links & Screws is designed for fabrication of a patient-specific CAD/CAM zirconia superstructure on which a crown may be placed. There are two-piece abutments for which the second part (or top half) is the zirconia superstructure. They also may be used for support of a crown directly on the Ti-Link. CAD/CAM zirconia superstructure fabrication for Ti-Link is by prescription on the order of the clinician.
Solidex® Ti-Links & Screws all zirconia superstructures for use with the subject device Ti-Link will be manufactured using a digital dentistry workflow, either at a Validated Milling Center (VMC) or at the Point of Care (POC), by using scan files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD/CAM software, ceramic material, and associated tooling and accessories. The digital dentistry workflow uses scan files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD/CAM software, ceramic material, and associated tooling and accessories. The digital workflow includes the following products:
-
Ceramic material: Sagemax NexxZr T (K130991)
-
Cement: Panavia SA cement Universal (K183537)
-
Desktop scanner: 3Shape E series Lab Scanner (510(k) exempt under 21 CFR 872.3661)
-
Design software: 3Shape Abutment Designer Software (K151455)
-
Milling machine: PrograMill PM7 (510(k) exempt under 21 CFR 872.3661)
-
Milling software: PrograMill CAM (510(k) exempt under 21 CFR 872.3661)
-
Digital Library / Templates (3 Shape): The Solidex® Ti-Link CAD/CAM System shall only be used with the official "Solidex® Ti-Link Digital Library" and templates identified. The library is imported into the 3Shape software, and the design restriction parameters (minimum wall thickness, post height, maximum gingival height, etc.) are automatically applied. The official "Solidex® Ti-Link Digital Library" can be obtained from CREODENT HUDSON VALLEY by contacting support email (inquiry@creodental.com) or from CREODENT HUDSON VALLEY web-site.
When imported into the 3Shape software, the design restriction parameters (minimum wall thickness, post height, maximum gingival height, etc.) and built-in protection features ("stops" and restriction shells) are automatically applied.
The design parameters for the CAD/CAM zirconia superstructure to be used Solidex® Ti-Links & Screws:
- Minimum wall thickness: 0.5 mm
- Minimum abutment post height: 6.0 mm
(Note)
: The abutment post height is the dimension above the gingival height.
: Feature maximum abutment post height are based on patient anatomy and clinician discretion. - Minimum gingival height: 0.5 mm
- Maximum gingival height: 6.0 mm
- Minimum Angulation: 0°
- Maximum Angulation: 20°
The zirconia superstructure must be cemented to the Solidex® Ti-Links using Panavia SA cement Universal in a dental laboratory. Solidex® Ti-Links & Screws is provided non-sterile therefore must be sterilized after the cementation of the zirconia superstructure on Solidex® Ti-Links. Solidex® Screws are designed to attach the abutment to the implant.

Dear Calvin Shim:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

The material of Ti-Links, Screw, and Material of Zirconia Superstructure is substantially equivalent to that of predicate device. Regarding surface treatment, the predicate device is surface-treated, whereas the subject device is not surface-treated and is made of a material that conforms to the ASTM F136 standard (Ti-6Al-4V ELI).
The manufacturing and digital design workflow for subject device is identical to that of predicate device.
Digital manufacturing workflow of the subject device and predicate device are similar. The difference is in the manufacturer of the equipment and software used. The differences in the digital manufacturing workflow between the subject and predicate device do not affect the determination of substantial equivalence.
Since the features of the subject device are substantially equivalent to the above-mentioned devices, any minor differences in certain features compared to the predicate device are insignificant and do not affect the determination of substantial equivalence.

The following tests were performed for the subject device:
- Biocompatibility testing in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018: Cytotoxicity(Elution, MTT) in accordance with ISO 10993-5:2009
- User moist heat sterilization validation in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST79:2017 with Amendments A1:2020, A2:2020, A3:2020, A4:2020, ISO 17665:2024, ISO 11138-1:2017, ISO 11138-3:2017, ISO 11737-1:2018/Amd 1:2021, ISO 11737-2:2019, and ISO 11140-3:2007
- Mechanical testing(fatigue test) in accordance with ISO 14801:2016
- Software verification included testing of restrictions that prevent design of components outside of the stated design parameters. In addition, the abutment design library was validated to demonstrate that the established design limitations and specifications are locked and cannot be modified by the user.
- Reverse engineering analysis was conducted on OEM implant bodies, OEM abutments, and OEM abutment screws to confirm compatibility with the 3rd party implant systems.
- MR Compatibility Statement: A non-clinical worst-case MRI review was performed to evaluate the subject device in the MRI environment using scientific rationale and published literature (e.g., Woods, Terry O., Jana G. Delfino, and Sunder Rajan. "Assessment of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force and Torque on Metal Alloys Used in Medical Devices." Journal of Testing and Evaluation 49.2 (2019): 783-795). This MRI review was leveraged for the subject device.
The results of the non-clinical testing confirm that the subject device meets the criteria of the applicable standards and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
No clinical data were included in this submission.
Conclusion
Based on the information provided in this premarket notification, CREODENT HUDSON VALLEY concludes that the Solidex® Ti-Links and Screws is substantially equivalent to the above-mentioned currently cleared devices.
