Intended Use

CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment System is intended for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae in support of single cement-retained restorations.

The system comprises three parts:

  • CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment Block
  • TiBase
  • CAD/CAM system

The CEREC Cercon 4D™ ceramic structure cemented to the TiBase is recommended for two-piece hybrid abutments for single tooth restorations and hybrid abutment crowns, used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants.

Device Description

The CEREC Cercon 4D Abutment Blocks, which are used for fabrication of a ceramic structure, two-piece hybrid abutments (meso-structure and crown) and abutment crowns, that are cemented to a TiBase (titanium base) used with dental implant systems. The CEREC Cercon 4D Abutment Blocks are not provided as the finished, fully assembled dental implant medical devices. The abutment blocks are materials supplied to dental professionals that must be further processed/manufactured using CAD/CAM technology and they are not intended to be reused as in the context of direct patient-applied devices and materials.

CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment Block are Yttria-doped zirconia blocks suitable for chairside and lab side use in fabrication of single cement-retained restorations. CEREC Ceron 4D™ Abutment Block are designed with a pre-drilled screw access channel and anti-rotation feature. The design allows for fabrication of a ceramic structure, two-piece hybrid abutments (mesostructure and crown) and abutment crowns, that are cemented to theBase (Titanium base) used with dental implant systems.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the substantial equivalence of the CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment Blocks and System, primarily focusing on non-clinical performance and material characteristics, rather than an AI/ML-based device. Therefore, many of the requested elements pertaining to AI/ML device studies (e.g., 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 or cannot be extracted from this document.

However, I can extract information related to the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets those criteria from the perspective of a medical device (specifically, a dental abutment system), even without AI elements.

Here's the information based on the provided text, with Not Applicable (N/A) for fields that relate to AI/ML studies and are not covered in this document.


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment Blocks, CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment System

The device under review is primarily a dental abutment system, and its performance is evaluated based on material properties, mechanical strength, and software integration, not on diagnostic accuracy or AI assistance.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and the Reported Device Performance

Test PerformedTest Method/Applicable StandardsAcceptance CriteriaReported Performance (Results)
Flexural StrengthISO 6872:2015 Amd 1. 2018 Dentistry-Ceramic Materials>1,100 MPaPass

Sterilization ValidationISO 17665-1 Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devicesAchieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶Validated
BiocompatibilityISO 10993 standard series (specifically ISO 10993-5, -10, -23)Meets ISO 10993 requirementsMeets requirements
Software Validation (Angulation)Internal software integration requirements for the addition of the proposed deviceMax angulation of 20° (User cannot proceed if outside)Meets requirements
Software Validation (Wall Thickness)Internal software integration requirements for the addition of the proposed deviceMinimal wall thickness of 0.5 mm (User cannot proceed if outside)Meets requirements

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set:
    • For Flexural Strength (Table 8.1): Not explicitly stated, but typically involves a certain number of samples to ensure statistical significance as per ISO 6872.
    • For Fatigue Testing (Table 8.2): "New fatigue testing was conducted on the worst-case combinations relating to the greatest angulation, the platform size and the gingival height for the proposed Dentsply Sirona TiBase/Dentsply Sirona Implant Systems and Third Party TiBase/Third Party Implant Systems (Camlog) combinations." The exact number of samples per test condition is not specified in the document, but standardized tests like ISO 14801 would stipulate a minimum.
    • For Sterilization Validation, Biocompatibility, and Software Validation: Not explicitly specified in terms of sample count in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. The tests are described as "non-clinical tests" and "performance bench testing," indicating laboratory-based studies. The document does not mention if the data is retrospective or prospective, as this distinction is more relevant for clinical studies.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML diagnostic tool requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or similar. The "ground truth" (or more accurately, established performance standards) for this device is based on mechanical properties and ISO standards, which are objective and do not require expert human interpretation in the way an AI diagnostic system would.

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

Not applicable, as no human expert interpretation or consensus review is involved in the performance testing of this device (e.g., physical strength, material composition).

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 not an AI-assisted diagnostic device; therefore, MRMC studies are irrelevant.

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

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device. Its "system" aspect refers to the combination of the abutment block, TiBase, and CAD/CAM system for fabrication, not an AI algorithm. The performance described is of the physical components and the software's ability to constrain design parameters.

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

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by international consensus standards (e.g., ISO 6872, ISO 14801, ISO 10993, ISO 17665-1) for dental materials and implants, along with internal software integration requirements. These are objective, quantitative measures rather than subjective human interpretations or clinical outcomes data in the context of diagnostic accuracy.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device does not have a "training set" in the context of machine learning.

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

Not applicable. This device does not have a "training set" in the context of machine learning.

8. Non-Clinical Tests Summary and Conclusion:

Performance Testing:

The proposed device was tested and conforms to ISO 6872:2015 (Amd 1. 2018) Dentistry-Ceramic Materials and ISO 14801:2016 Dentistry-Implants-Dynamic loading test for endosseous dental implants. Additionally, software system verification was performed as part of the non-clinical testing. Table 8.1 summarizes the performance bench testing for flexural strength conducted on the proposed device according to ISO 6872:2015 (Amd 1. 2018). Table 8.2 summarizes the performance bench testing for fatigue strength according to ISO 14801:2016. New fatigue testing was conducted on the worst-case combinations relating to the greatest angulation, the platform size and the gingival height for the proposed Dentsply Sirona TiBase/Dentsply Sirona Implant Systems and Third Party TiBase/Third Party Implant Systems (Camlog) combinations. The testing conducted together with historical data on file for the reference device (K111421) was leveraged to support performance of Dentsply Sirona TiBase/Third Party Implant Systems, and Dentsply Sirona TiBase/Dentsply Sirona Implant Systems, and Third Party TiBase/Third Party Implant Systems combinations.

Cleaning, Disinfection, and Sterilization Testing:

Sterilization validation testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 17665-1 Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. The validation process was validated using a hybrid method to ensure that the proposed device can be steam sterilized and achieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 106 in support of the following dynamic air removal (pre-vacuum) steam sterilization parameters:

  • . 132°C (270°F) for 4 minutes; Dry Time=20 minutes
  • . 135°C (275°F) for 3 minutes; Dry Time=16 minutes

CAD/CAM Software Validation & Verification Testing:

Software validation was performed to show the maximum and minimum design parameters for the CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment Block, CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment System within the compatible CAD/CAM software. The following parameters are locked into the CAD/CAM software libraries:

  • . Maximum angulation of 20°
  • . Minimal wall thickness of 0.5 mm

The angulation within the CAD/CAM system is fixed and set across all libraries. If the user choses an angulation outside the set value, they will get an error screen that is red in color that indicates a "stop" and the user will not be able to proceed without updating the design to meet the angulation set within the system.

The wall thickness parameter is defined in the CAD/CAM library for the material itself. Ifthe user choses a wall thickness outside the defined parameter, they will get an error screen and will not be able to proceed without updating the design to meet the wall thickness parameter.

Adding implant/abutment compatibilities to the CAD/CAM library is restricted by the implant/abutment manufacturer's assigned parameters. The gingival height (GH) is defined by the TiBase chosen and there is no option within the CAD/CAM system to change the GH. The TiBase chosen also defines the post height (PH) which is a restricted value set by the manufacturer of the TiBase. Once the TiBase is chosen for that material the GH and PH are defined and cannot be altered by the user during the design phase. When a new implant/TiBase is added to the CAD/CAM library, the manufacturer provides Dentsply Sirona with those parameters and a separate verification is conducted. Third-party compatibilities are added through the device master file system.

{21}------------------------------------------------

Biocompatibility Testing:

A biological risk assessment was conducted on the proposed device, CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment Block, CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment System. Review of available information on raw materials, manufacturing processes, chemical characterization tests and existing preclinical biological testing data concludes that the test results meet the requirements of the following ISO 10993 standard series.

The following tests were conducted:

  • . Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices-Part 5 Test for In Vitro Cytotoxicity)
  • Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2021 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices-Part 10 Test . for Skin Sensitization)

. Irritation (ISO 10993-23:2021 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices-Part 23 Test for Irritation)

Conclusion:

Minor differences in the technological characteristics between the proposed and predicate (K221402) devices were evaluated through appropriate fatigue testing, performance bench testing, software validation and verification, and biocompatibility testing, which demonstrated that the proposed device, when compared to the predicate device, does not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the nonclinical testing data supports the conclusion that the proposed device performs as well as the predicate device (K221402).

9. Clinical Tests Summary and Conclusion:

Not applicable. No data from human clinical studies has been included to support the substantial equivalence of CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment Block, CEREC Cercon 4D™ Abutment System.

10. Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence:
