Intended Use

The implants are surgically placed in the maxillary and/ or mandibular arches to provide support for prosthetic restorations in edentulous or partially edentulous patients. The implants are intended to be used with OKTAGON® Bone Level abutments and prosthetic parts.

Dental Implant Abutments Bone Level are intended to provide support for prosthetic reconstructions. Prosthetic applications can include individual crowns, bridges, partial or total prostheses.

Abutments can be used in single tooth replacements and multiple tooth restorations. The Abutments are intended to be compatible to OKTAGON® Bone Level implants with diameters 3.3mm, 4.1mm and 4.8mm and with the lengths 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm.

The Oktagon Bone Level System is intended for delayed loading, or for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal load.

Device Description

The Bone Level Implant is an addition to the currently distributed OKTAGON® dental implant system.

The root-form designed implant is made of commercially pure Titanium Grade 4 conforming to ASTM Standard Specification F67. The surface is micro-structured in the endosteal section and the implant shoulder is polished. The implant surface has been blasted with high-grade corundum and afterwards acid-etched.

The prosthetic connection is achieved with the help of an inner cone with an additional octagonal anti-rotation device.

A sterile locking screw is enclosed with the implant so that an immediate occlusion of the internal thread is allowed after successful insertion.

The endosseous dental implants are available in a range of endosseous diameters and lengths.

The abutments are available in different versions including the corresponding screws. The abutments are made of Titanium Grade 4, Titanium Alloy or POM; the connection to the implants is achieved by an internal octagon/nut construction and a metric thread.

The following types of abutments will be available:

  • . Cover screw
  • Healing abutment
  • Straight abutment ●
  • Alligator abutment
AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Dental Implant System OKTAGON® Bone Level." It establishes substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way an AI/ML device would.

Therefore, many of the requested fields (like sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission for a physical medical device.

However, I can extract information related to performance testing that serves as the basis for demonstrating safety and effectiveness relative to established standards.

Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size: Not specified in the document. The performance tests (fatigue tests) are likely conducted on a sample of devices according to the requirements of the specified standards (e.g., ISO 14801).
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. Standard performance testing is typically conducted in a laboratory setting, often by the manufacturer or a third-party testing facility. This is not "clinical data" in the sense of patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable. "Ground truth" in this context would refer to the established performance requirements outlined in the engineering and material standards. These are not established by clinical experts in the same way an AI/ML diagnostic output needs ground truth. Compliance to these standards is verified by testing engineers.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. This concept pertains to resolving discrepancies in expert interpretations, primarily relevant for image-based diagnostic AI/ML. For a physical device, performance is measured against objective engineering metrics.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This is a physical dental implant system, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This device does not involve an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • The "ground truth" here is the adherence to the engineering and material specifications defined by international standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for fatigue, ASTM F67 for material composition). These standards establish objective, measurable criteria for safety and performance.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning, so there is no training set. Design validation and verification are based on engineering principles and regulatory standards.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. As there is no training set, this question is not relevant.

(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;
