Device Description
The Ceramic System-Spline uses a titanium Spline core (abutment) and a ceramic coping. The core is attached to the implant with a titanium retaining screw. The coping is comented to the core for a final restoration. The core will be offered in three implant interface diameters, 3.25mm, 4.0mm, and 5.0mm. The Ceramic System coping is available in six shapes: small incisor, 17º small incisor, large incisor, 17º large incisor, canine, and premolar.

No
The document describes a physical dental restoration system (abutment and coping) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is a dental restoration system (ceramic coping and titanium core) designed for single-unit, cement-retained restorations in anterior and premolar regions, which does not inherently qualify it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device description and intended use indicate that the Sulzer Dental Ceramic System - Spline is a restorative dental product (an abutment and coping system) for single-unit cement-retained restorations, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (titanium Spline core, ceramic coping, titanium retaining screw) which are hardware.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Sulzer Dental Ceramic System - Spline is a dental restoration system consisting of an abutment and a coping. It is used to create a physical restoration for a tooth.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide a physical restoration for anterior and premolar teeth. It does not involve testing samples from the body.

This device is a dental prosthetic/restorative device, not an IVD.

§ 872.3640 Endosseous dental implant.

(a)
Identification. An endosseous dental implant is a prescription device made of a material such as titanium or titanium alloy that is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore a patient's chewing function.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a root-form endosseous dental implant. The root-form endosseous dental implant is characterized by four geometrically distinct types: Basket, screw, solid cylinder, and hollow cylinder. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-Form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments” will serve as the special control. (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a blade-form endosseous dental implant. The special controls for this device are:(i) The design characteristics of the device must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use;
(ii) Mechanical performance (fatigue) testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate maximum load (endurance limit) when the device is subjected to compressive and shear loads;
(iii) Corrosion testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate corrosion potential of each metal or alloy, couple potential for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system, and corrosion rate for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system;
(iv) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(v) Sterility testing must demonstrate the sterility of the device;
(vi) Performance testing to evaluate the compatibility of the device in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment;
(vii) Labeling must include a clear description of the technological features, how the device should be used in patients, detailed surgical protocol and restoration procedures, relevant precautions and warnings based on the clinical use of the device, and qualifications and training requirements for device users including technicians and clinicians;
(viii) Patient labeling must contain a description of how the device works, how the device is placed, how the patient needs to care for the implant, possible adverse events and how to report any complications; and
(ix) Documented clinical experience must demonstrate safe and effective use and capture any adverse events observed during clinical use.

510(K) Summary

Pursuant to 510 (i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended.

Company Name: Sulzer Dental Inc. Address: 1900 Aston Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008-7308 Telephone Number: 760-929-4300 Registration Number : 2023141 Contact Person: Sean Hariri Date Summary Prepared: December 17, 2001 Classification Name: Endosseous Dental Implant Common/Usual Name: Abutment for Dental Implant System Device Trade Name: Sulzer Dental Ceramic System-Spline

The Primary device used for comparison in this summary is the Gold Coping Abutment (K943180) and the FRIALIT®-2 CeraBase Abutment (K980630)

1. Intended Use:

The Sulzer Dental Ceramic System - Spline is intended for use specifically for anterior and premolar, single-unit cement-retained restorations. This product should not be used in the molars and should not be splinted together for multiple unit cases. partials or bridgework.

2. Description:

The Ceramic System-Spline uses a titanium Spline core (abutment) and a ceramic coping. The core is attached to the implant with a titanium retaining screw. The coping is comented to the core for a final restoration. The core will be offered in three implant interface diameters, 3.25mm, 4.0mm, and 5.0mm. The Ceramic System coping is available in six shapes: small incisor, 17º small incisor, large incisor, 17º large incisor, canine, and premolar.

3. Technological Characteristics:

The Ceramic System-Spline is an additional abutment design for the Spline Dental implant system. The system consists of two parts, the titanium alloy abutment and the ceramic coping. The abutment will be fixed to the implant with a titanium alloy screw. The net ceramic coping will be bonded with porcelain by the laboratory to fabricate the finalized coping. The finished restoration is then cemented to the abutment,

4. Comparison Analysis:

The abutment of the Ceramic System-Spline is similar to the Sulzer Dental Gold Coping Abutment and the FRIALIT@-2 CeraBase Abutment. The ceramic coping of the Ceramic
