Intended Use
Thommen Milling abutments for CAD/CAM are intended to be used in conjunction with Thommen System dental implants in the maxillary and /or mandibular arch to provide support for crowns, bridges and overdentures. All digitally designed abutments for use with Thommen Milling abutments for CAD/CAM are intended to be sent to a Thommen validated milling center for manufacture.
Device Description
The Milling Abutment for CAD/CAM is an abutment used by a dental laboratory equipped with the 3Shape CAD/CAM System to fabricate a customized abutment made of titanium. Each patient-specific abutment is individually prescribed by the clinician. Minimum wall thickness allowed for the final abutment is 0.4 mm, maximum angulation is 20°, maximum gingival height is 7.0 mm, and total height of the abutment is no greater than 15 mm and no shorter than 4.5 mm. All digitally designed abutments for use with Thommen Milling abutments for CAD/CAM are intended to be sent to a Thommen validated milling center for manufacture. Final abutments are to be sterilized prior to intraoral placement. Milling Abutment for CAD/CAM is available in five diameters (3,5 mm, 4,0 mm, 5,0 mm, 6,0 mm) and two heights (12 mm and 15 mm). The Ø3.5 mm abutment is provided in the 12 mm height. All other diameters are provided in the 15 mm height. Each abutment is supplied with a corresponding screw. Milling Abutment for CAD/CAM is compatible with the Thommen Implant System ELEMENT and CONTACT implants.
More Information

No
The summary describes a CAD/CAM system for designing and milling dental abutments, which is a standard digital manufacturing process and does not mention or imply the use of AI or ML for design, analysis, or manufacturing.

No

The device is an abutment for dental implants, used to support crowns, bridges, and overdentures, which is a restorative function, not a therapeutic one.

No

This device, the Thommen Milling Abutment for CAD/CAM, is an implant component used to support dental prosthetics. Its function is to provide physical support for crowns, bridges, and overdentures, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical abutment made of titanium, available in different sizes, and supplied with a screw. It is used in conjunction with a CAD/CAM system for design but the device itself is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide support for crowns, bridges, and overdentures in the maxillary and/or mandibular arch. This is a structural and mechanical function within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a milling abutment used to fabricate a customized abutment for dental implants. This is a physical component used in a dental restoration process.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing information about a physiological or pathological state.
    • Being used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
    • Using reagents or calibrators.

The device is a dental prosthetic component used in conjunction with dental implants. It is a medical device, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

PREDICATE INFORMATION

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Milling Abutment for CAD/CAM is an abutment used by a dental laboratory equipped with the 3Shape CAD/CAM System to fabricate a customized abutment made of titanium. Each patient-specific abutment is individually prescribed by the clinician. Minimum wall thickness allowed for the final abutment is 0.4 mm, maximum angulation is 20°, maximum gingival height is 7.0 mm, and total height of the abutment is no greater than 15 mm and no shorter than 4.5 mm. All digitally designed abutments for use with Thommen Milling abutments for CAD/CAM are intended to be sent to a Thommen validated milling center for manufacture. Final abutments are to be sterilized prior to intraoral placement.

Milling Abutment for CAD/CAM is available in five diameters (3,5 mm, 4,0 mm, 5,0 mm, 6,0 mm) and two heights (12 mm and 15 mm). The Ø3.5 mm abutment is provided in the 12 mm height.

used in conjunction withThe CORE 3D abutment system for digital prosthetic solutions are dental abutments
placed into a dental implant to provide support for dental prosthetic restorations. The
abutments include:
Thommen System dental
implants in the maxillary and /or
mandibular arch to provide
support for crowns, bridges and
overdentures.• Titanium Bases to be attached to the underlying implant and upon which a CAD/CAM
designed superstructure may be fitted to complete a two-piece dental abutment;
• Titanium Abutment Blanks with a pre-machined implant connection where the upper
portion may be custom-milled in accordance with a patient-specific design using
CAD/CAM techniques

abutments are intended for use to support single-tooth (unit) and multiple-tooth (bridges
and bars) prostheses, in the mandible or maxilla for functional and aesthetic restorations.
Core 3D abutments designed using CAD/CAM techniques must fulfill the Core 3D
allowable range of design specifications and be provided as straight abutments only.
Core 3D abutments and are compatible for use with the following dental Implants:

The subject device and primary predicate have slightly different Indications for Use language. However, the difference in language does not change the intended use of abutments. Both abutments are being used in conjunction with dental implants for the purpose of supporting dental prostheses and are CAD/CAM custom abutments fabricated at a milling center.

CONCLUSION

The subject device and the predicate devices have intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of similar materials. The subject device and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, including diameter and length of the implants, and diameter, gingival height, and angle of the abutments. The subject and predicate devices are packaged in similar materials and to be sterilized using similar methods.

The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above.
