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

Fatigue testing was performed according to the requirements of ISO 14801:2016, Dentistry – Implants – Dynamic loading test for Endosseous Dental Implants. The worst-case scenario was chosen based on the FDA Guidance, Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments.

Bone to implant contact area comparison and pull- out testing was performed to compare the Subject, Predicate and Reference devices.

Test results and Biological Evaluation performed on the sponsor's Predicate and Reference devices to demonstrate suitable biocompatibility of the Subject device. The evaluation included review of published literature, internal routine monitoring data related to implant modified surface treatment and post-market surveillance data on Paltop implants subject to the same modified surface treatment and cleaning process as the Subject device.

The published literature evaluated bone changes on patients implants made from the same material and with the same surface treatment as the Subject device. Implants of varying diameters and lengths were placed in male and female adult population patients. Placement locations varied and included placement in extraction sockets, healed bone, and grafted bone locations. Bone levels were evaluated at time of abutment placement and final loading and a follow-up evaluation time from final abutment insertion which ranged from 11 months to 4 years, with an average of (2.3 years). Mesial and distal surfaces were examined and graded as bone improved, bone maintained, and bone decreased. A total of 174 surfaces were graded (87 implants). Results demonstrated bone level improvement or maintenance for 92% of the implants. Bone level decreases identified were less than 1 mm, well within accepted levels. 100% of the implants met criteria for successful implant osseointegration.

Review of historical SEM/EDS data was performed on Paltop implants made from the same material and surface treatment process, and same lot numbers as the published literature. Data included SEM images to quantify residual particles over a portion of each implant which was then extrapolated to estimate total particles over the entire length of the implant.

Review of post market surveillance data and was performed to identify any significant trends in osseointegration failures. The results indicated failure rates below industry levels.

The Biological Evaluation and review of published literature, internal in-process monitoring, and post-market surveillance data support a conclusion that residual aluminum particle levels, if present, as demonstrated from the manufacturer's specific surface treatment and included assessment, do not have negative impact on osseointegration and implant survival.

Confirmatory endotoxin testing was performed according the acceptance criteria defined in USP .

Test results and sterilization validations performed for the sponsor's Predicate and Reference devices demonstrate suitable sterilization of the Subject device sterile components.

A cleaning validation, and a sterilization according to ISO 17665-1, were performed for the Subject device non-sterile components and sterile components which may be modified and require subsequent sterilization.

The results of the non-clinical testing demonstrate conformance with testing requirements and support a finding of substantial equivalence with respect to the Subject and Predicate device.

Ball Abutments, Healing Caps, Cover Screws

The Subject device Ball abutments are the K130462 Predicate device Ball abutments.

The Subject Healing Caps are highly similar to the K130462 Predicate device with highly similar gingival height dimensions. The difference in emergence profile of the healing abutments is supported by non-clinical performance testing. The higher gingival height dimensions are supported by the K102436 Reference device.

Minor differences in the implant external thread designs, dimensions, and correction angles do not affect substantial equivalence.

Differences between the Subject and Predicate device dimensions or designs are supported by Reference devices. Any differences in implant abutment designs or dimensions have been mitigated and demonstrated to be suitable for intended use through non-clinical bench performance testing.

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TEST DATA

Fatigue testing was performed according to the requirements of ISO 14801:2016, Dentistry – Implants – Dynamic loading test for Endosseous Dental Implants. The worst-case scenario was chosen based on the FDA Guidance, Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments.

Bone to implant contact area comparison and pull- out testing was performed to compare the Subject, Predicate and Reference devices.

16

The Subject devices have the identical nature of body contact duration, material formulation and sterilization methods compared to the sponsor's Predicate and Reference devices.

Test results and Biological Evaluation performed on the sponsor's Predicate and Reference devices to demonstrate suitable biocompatibility of the Subject device. The evaluation included review of published literature, internal routine monitoring data related to implant modified surface treatment and post-market surveillance data on Paltop implants subject to the same modified surface treatment and cleaning process as the Subject device.

The published literature evaluated bone changes on patients implants made from the same material and with the same surface treatment as the Subject device. Implants of varying diameters and lengths were placed in male and female adult population patients. Placement locations varied and included placement in extraction sockets, healed bone, and grafted bone locations. Bone levels were evaluated at time of abutment placement and final loading and a follow-up evaluation time from final abutment insertion which ranged from 11 months to 4 years, with an average of (2.3 years). Mesial and distal surfaces were examined and graded as bone improved, bone maintained, and bone decreased. A total of 174 surfaces were graded (87 implants). Results demonstrated bone level improvement or maintenance for 92% of the implants. Bone level decreases identified were less than 1 mm, well within accepted levels. 100% of the implants met criteria for successful implant osseointegration.

Review of historical SEM/EDS data was performed on Paltop implants made from the same material and surface treatment process, and same lot numbers as the published literature. Data included SEM images to quantify residual particles over a portion of each implant which was then extrapolated to estimate total particles over the entire length of the implant.

Review of post market surveillance data and was performed to identify any significant trends in osseointegration failures. The results indicated failure rates below industry levels.

The Biological Evaluation and review of published literature, internal in-process monitoring, and post-market surveillance data support a conclusion that residual aluminum particle levels, if present, as demonstrated from the manufacturer's specific surface treatment and included assessment, do not have negative impact on osseointegration and implant survival.

Confirmatory endotoxin testing was performed according the acceptance criteria defined in USP .

Test results and sterilization validations performed for the sponsor's Predicate and Reference devices demonstrate suitable sterilization of the Subject device sterile components.

A cleaning validation, and a sterilization according to ISO 17665-1, were performed for the Subject device non-sterile components and sterile components which may be modified and require subsequent sterilization.

The results of the non-clinical testing demonstrate conformance with testing requirements and support a finding of substantial equivalence with respect to the Subject and Predicate device.

CONCLUSION

Overall, the Indications for Use statements for the Subject and Predicate devices are substantially equivalent.

Overall, the same or highly similar Technological Characteristics of the Subject device support a finding of substantial equivalence. Any differences between the Subject and Predicate dimensions or designs are supported by Reference devices. Any differences in implant abutment designs or

17

dimensions have been mitigated and demonstrated to be suitable for intended use through non-clinical bench performance testing.

Overall, the Subject device and Predicate devices have been demonstrated to be Substantially Equivalent.
