Intended Use

BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars are intended for use as superstructures of a multiple-unit endosseous dental implant system, attaching directly to implants or abutments, to support a prosthetic device in a partially or fully endentulous patient for the purpose of restoring chewing function. Implant-level bars are compatible with all BioHorizons Internal and Tapered Internal implant systems. Implant-level bars are compatible with Zimmer Dental Screw-Vent® and Tapered Screw Vent® implants with 3.5mm, 4.5mm internal hex connection mating platform diameters and are intended to be used with straight bar cylinders only. Abutment-level bars are compatible with BioHorizons Multi-unit Abutments. All digitally designed BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars are intended to be sent to a BioHorizons-validated milling center for manufacture.

Device Description

The BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars are computer aided designed (CAD), precision computer aided milled (CAM) superstructures manufactured for individual patients. The BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars provide support for a fixed or removable prosthetic device. The BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars will be provided in a fixed shape configuration (e.g. Dolder®, Hader, Round) or a free form shape configuration (e.g. Freeform/Milled, Hybrid, Montreal, Paris, Wrap Around), both configurations designed to fit the individual needs of the patient. The BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars will be provided with either an implant-level or abutment-level connection interface. Implant-level CAD/CAM bars will include passive, non-indexing connection geometry with seating on the coronal (top) surface of the implant. Abutment-level CAD/CAM bars will include passive, non-indexing connection geometry with seating on the restorative platform of the abutment. The occlusal surface of the CAD/CAM bars may include connection geometry (e.g. female threads) to accept overdenture attachments. Bar material is titanium alloy as specified in ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy (UNS R56401) for Surgical Implant Applications. The CAD/CAM Bars are provided non-sterile, and they are packaged using materials known in the industry to be appropriate for medical device packaging. When used with BioHorizons Internal and Tapered Internal implant systems, the BioHorizons CAD/CAM bars allow for up to 40° divergence between bar cylinders, with no individual bar cylinder angulated greater than 20° from the vertical axis. Only straight bar cylinders are compatible with the Zimmer Dent® and Tapered Screw Vent® implants with 3.5mm. 4.5mm and 5.7mm internal hex connection mating platform diameters.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes a CAD/CAM process for designing and milling dental implant superstructures. While it uses computer-aided design and manufacturing, there is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design process, analysis, or any other aspect of the device's function. The focus is on the material, manufacturing process, and compatibility with existing implant systems.

Therapeutic

The device is described as a superstructure for a dental implant system, designed to support a prosthetic device and restore chewing function. While it aids in restoring a bodily function, its primary role is mechanical support for a prosthetic, rather than directly treating or mitigating a disease, injury, or medical condition.

Diagnostic

Explanation: This device is a CAD/CAM manufactured superstructure designed to support a prosthetic device for restoring chewing function. It is a restorative device, not a diagnostic one.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device is a physical dental bar manufactured from titanium alloy, not a software application. While it is designed using CAD/CAM software, the device itself is a tangible medical implant.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
Device Function: The BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars are physical structures designed to be implanted in the mouth to support dental prosthetics. They are used in vivo (within the body), not in vitro (outside the body).
Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for restoring chewing function by supporting a prosthetic device in a patient. This is a mechanical and structural function, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing biological samples.
Device Description: The description focuses on the material, design, and connection interfaces of the physical bar, not on any components or processes related to analyzing biological specimens.
Performance Studies: The performance studies described are related to mechanical fatigue, dimensional analysis, and sterilization, all of which are relevant to an implantable medical device, not an IVD.

Therefore, the BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars are a medical device, specifically a dental implant superstructure, but they do not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Dynamic mechanical fatigue testing was performed in accordance with the Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments, May 12, 2004 and ISO 14801. A worst-case 3.0mm prosthetic platform, single-unit endosseous dental implant system test configuration was prepared for the implant-level CAD/CAM bars to simulate a single bar cylinder being subjected to occlusal loading without the support of additional bar cylinders or supports/connectors to share the load. Results of the testing demonstrate that the worst-case configuration performs in accordance with the subject device's intended use. Evaluation of the abutment-level CAD/CAM bars was conducted by dimensional analysis of a cross-sectioned model of the CAD/CAM abutment-level bar configuration at least material condition (LMC) in the region of the implant-abutment connection compared to the BioHorizons Multi-unit Titanium Coping. Historical testing of the Multi-unit Titanium Coping combined with dimensional analysis demonstrated that the abutment-level CAD/CAM bar design is sufficient for its intended use.

Compatibility verification has been previously performed on a representative subset of Zimmer® Screw-Vent® and Tapered Screw-Vent® implants. The subset included the following Zimmer® item numbers: TSV4B8, TSV4B10, TSVWH10, TSVWB10, TSVWB11, TSVWH11, TSVT6B10, TSV6H11. TSV6H13 and TSV6H16. This testing verifies compatibility of BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars connection with all Zimmer® Screw-Vent® and Tapered Screw-Vent® items based on equivalent mating platform geometry.

BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars are provided non-sterilization by the end user is achieved using one of the validated steam sterilization cycles as specified in the Instructions for Use. Sterilization cycles were validated in accordance with BS EN ISO 17665-1:2006, Sterilization of health care products – Moist heat – Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.

Finally, BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars meet the chemical requirements of ASTM F136. This grade of Titanium is commonly used in surgical implant applications thus no special biocompatibility testing was conducted for the proposed devices. Historical biocompatibility testing conducted on representative BioHorizons dental implant devices that used the same ASTM F136 titanium allov material that is used exclusively in the manufacture of BioHorizons dental implant and restorative abutment devices included cytotoxicity, irritation and sensitization testing. Test results concluded that the test articles were non-cytotoxic, non-irritating and negative for evidence of dermal sensitization under the test conditions employed.

Indications for Use

BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars are intended for use as superstructures of a multiple-unit endosseous dental implant system, attaching directly to implants or abutments, to support a prosthetic device in a partially or fully endentulous patient for the purpose of restoring function. Implantlevel bars are compatible with all BioHorizons Internal internal implant systems. Implant-level bars are compatible with Zimmer Dental Screw-Vent® and Tapered Screw Vent® implants with 3.5mm, 4.5mm and 5.7mm internal hex connection mating platform diameters and are intended to be used with straight bar cylinders only. Abutment-level bars are compatible with BioHorizons Multi-unit Abutments.

All digitally designed BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars are intended to be sent to a BioHorizonsvalidated milling center for manufacture.

Comparison of Indications for Use

The primary difference in the Indications for Use statements between the subject device and the primary predicate device is with regard to the claimed compatibility with competitor implant connections (compatibility with Zimmer Dental in the case of the subject device versus no claim of competitor implant compatibility for the predicate device). BioHorizons conducts routine competitive device compatibility assessment in accordance with internal procedural requirements. Both devices are intended to support multiple tooth prostheses in the mandible or maxilla. No other substantive differences exist between the Indications for Use statements between the subject and primary predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

The fundamental scientific technology of the BioHorizons CAD/CAM Bars that are the subject of this 510(k) is substantially equivalent to the referenced primary predicate device. Both the subject device and predicate device include similar features such as bar base material, bar-implant/barabutment connection tailored to the endosseous dental implant(s) and multi-unit restorative

abutment component(s) with which the device is intended to be used, prosthetic platform sizes and mode of prosthetic retention which thereby demonstrates substantial equivalence in their respective designs. Any specific differences related to bar shape, prosthetic platform connection geometry, maximum implant span and wording in the indications for use between the subject device and the predicate device have been mitigated based on the performance testing conducted on the worst-case manufactured dimensions which supports the determination that the subject devices are appropriate for their intended use and do not render the devices not substantially equivalent.

The following CAD/CAM workflow describes the steps involved to achieve the final prosthesis:

1. Utilizing a desktop dental scanner with the appropriate scan bodies, digitally capture the verified laboratory model, implant or abutment analog positions, soft tissue, and diagnostic wax-up.
1. Import the digital data into dental CAD software and utilize the corresponding implant library to design the bar within the design parameters per the instructions for use.
- a. If the customer is designing the bar, the design data is to be sent to a registered and listed BioHorizons-validated milling center for milling.
1. The BioHorizons-validated milling center will export the CAM data from the dental CAD/CAM software and proceed with milling the bar.
1. The milled bar is sent to the customer for the appropriate laboratory processing to create the final prosthesis.

The clinician delivers the final prosthesis intra-orally, verifies fit, and secures using the corresponding screws at the recommended torque values per the instructions for use.

The features, similarities and differences are further summarized in tabular format in the Summary Table of Substantial Equivalence following in this section, and are briefly discussed below:

1. Bar shapes for both the Subject Device and the predicate device are typical industry designs and are substantially equivalent.
1. Platform seating diameters of 3.0mm-5.7mm for the Subject Device, compared to 3.4mm-6.1mm of the predicate device, are based the manufacturers' designed implant platform geometries.
1. Minimum number of two (2) cylinders is equivalent.
1. Minimum cylinder wall thickness of 0.3mm for the Subject Device is based on design requirements; the predicate device specification is unknown.
1. Maximum anterior-posterior spread of 1.5 for the Subject Device is based on design requirements; the predicate device specification is unknown.
1. Maximum implant span between cylinders of 30mm for the Subject Device, compared to 23.5mm for Type I Bars and 27mm for Type II Bars of the predicate device, is based on the manufacturers' established design requirements.
1. Screw-retained mode of retention for both devices is equivalent.

The Subject Device worst case design was validated with performance bench testing in accordance with Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments, May 12, 2004 and ISO 14801, and the differences noted or otherwise not accounted for by comparison to the predicate device are demonstrated by the performance bench testing, and do not render the Subject Device not substantially equivalent.

Summarv of Testing

Dynamic mechanical fatigue testing was performed in accordance with the Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments, May 12, 2004 and ISO 14801. A worst-case 3.0mm prosthetic platform, singleunit endosseous dental implant system test configuration was prepared for the implant-level CAD/CAM bars to simulate a single bar cylinder being subjected to occlusal loading without the support of additional bar cylinders or supports/connectors to share the load. Results of the testing demonstrate that the worst-case configuration performs in accordance with the subject device's intended use. Evaluation of the abutment-level CAD/CAM bars was conducted by dimensional analysis of a cross-sectioned model of the CAD/CAM abutment-level bar configuration at least material condition (LMC) in the region of the implant-abutment connection compared to the BioHorizons Multi-unit Titanium Coping. Historical testing of the Multi-unit Titanium Coping combined with dimensional analysis demonstrated that the abutment-level CAD/CAM bar design is sufficient for its intended use.

Conclusion

The data presented in this submission demonstrates that the proposed devices are substantially equivalent with respect to performance and intended use. The proposed devices perform as well as the legally marketed predicate devices. Furthermore, the proposed devices do not pose any new or increased risks as compared to the legally marketed predicate devices.
