Patient-specific abutment restorations, milled from Pre-milled Abutment Blanks (PMABs), are indicated for single tooth replacement and multiple tooth restorations. They are directly connected to various endosseous dental implant systems using a basal screw. Patient-specific abutment restorations milled from Pre-milled Abutment Blanks are to be digitally designed and milled using the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow. The Straumann InLab Validated Workflow is indicated for the design and fabrication of single or multiple-unit implant-borne prosthetics for the restoration of partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae. The system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: scan files from Intra-Oral Scanners or Extra-Oral Scanners. CAD software, CAM software, pre-milled abutment blanks, milling machines and associated tooling and accessories.
The Straumann InLab Validated Workflow is similar to the primary predicate K171649. It employs optical impression files that document the topographical characteristics of teeth, traditional dental impressions, or stone models. The 3Shape CAD software then allows the design of the desired restorations.
The CAM software converts the digital restoration design into the tooling and tool path commands needed to fabricate the restoration. When choosing the Straumann Validated workflow, the user will only see the available and cleared components which were tested and demonstrated as part of the validated workflow. The milling command file is encrypted prior to transfer to the Roland DWX-42W Plus milling System; this encryption ensures that files generated using other CAD or CAM software cannot be used with the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow. The user will then load the milling command file into the Roland DWX-42W Plus milling System where it is decoded. The user loads the appropriate dental material blank and initiates the milling operation.
This premarket notification includes restorations (one-piece metal patient-specific abutment restorations) manufactured from various Pre-milled Abutment Blanks (PMABs) from the Straumann Group companies : Institut Straumann AG and Neodent PMABs. The digital workflow using the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow includes the use of the following products: Dental Scan of the patient's situation, CAD Software, CAM Module, Milling System, Abutment Milling Blanks.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow, a device for designing and manufacturing patient-specific dental abutments from pre-milled abutment blanks (PMABs). The document describes the device, its intended use, technological characteristics, and performance testing.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance in a consolidated format as typically seen in a clinical study report. However, it mentions key performance areas and states that requirements were met.
Acceptance Criteria (Implicit from tests performed):
- Sterilization Validation: Meet ISO 17665-1 and FDA guidance for reprocessing medical devices.
- Biocompatibility: In line with ISO 10993-1 and FDA guidance for biological evaluation.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Considered MR Conditional.
- Milling Accuracy: Dimensions of milled restoration are the same as the intended CAD design, met within tool's expected lifetime.
- Simulated Use Validation: Correct implementation of PMABs, design constraints, and workflow restrictions in software and libraries.
- Implant-Abutment Connection Protection: No damage to the connection geometry during milling.
- Dynamic Fatigue: Performance consistent with FDA guidance for dental implants/abutments.
Reported Device Performance:
| Performance Area | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Sterilization Validation | The recommended sterilization method (moist heat/steam) was validated according to ISO 17665-1 and applicable FDA guidance on reprocessing medical devices. Sterilization parameters are equivalent. |
| Biocompatibility Testing | Biological assessment performed per ISO 10993-1 and FDA guidance. Device materials and manufacturing processes are equivalent to predicate, raising no new biocompatibility issues. |
| Electromagnetic Compatibility | No significant changes from currently marketed predicate devices; no new EMC issues raised. Device can be considered MR Conditional. |
| Milling Accuracy | Black-box validation confirmed that dimensions of the milled restoration are the same as the intended CAD design. The accuracy requirement was met considering the tool's expected lifetime. |
| Simulated Use Validation | Confirmed that relevant PMABs, design constraints, and workflow restrictions are correctly implemented (adequately written and locked into compatible design software and available libraries). |
| Implant-Abutment Connection Protection | A simulated implant-abutment connection protection test was conducted to mitigate potential risk of damaging the implant-abutment connection geometry during milling. |
| Dynamic Fatigue | The device design and performance testing submitted or referenced were conducted according to FDA guidance for root-form endosseous dental implants and abutments. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for the test sets in the performance studies (e.g., dynamic fatigue, milling accuracy, simulated use validation). It refers to these as "Performance Testing - Bench."
Data Provenance: The studies are described as "nonclinical tests" and "bench" testing, suggesting they were conducted in a laboratory or simulated environment, rather than involving patient data. The document does not specify country of origin for the data (beyond the applicant being Institut Straumann AG in Switzerland and JJGC Indústria e Comércio de Materiais Dentários AS in Brazil, with contact in Andover, MA, USA). The studies appear to be prospective, designed specifically for this submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth for the test set. The validation methods described (e.g., milling accuracy, simulated use) imply technical verification against design specifications and functional requirements rather than expert consensus on diagnostic or clinical outcomes.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
No adjudication method is mentioned, as there is no indication of multiple reviewers or subjective assessments requiring adjudication in the described bench tests.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned. The device is a workflow for manufacturing dental restorations, not an AI diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers in the traditional sense of comparing human performance with and without AI assistance for interpretation.
6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop)
The milling accuracy test ("black-box validation confirming that the dimensions of the milled restoration are the same as the intended CAD design") and the simulated use validation implicitly test the algorithm and workflow in a standalone manner, separate from a human operator's interpretative judgment. The "Straumann InLab Validated Workflow" itself is largely an automated process once the design is finalized. It is designed to ensure that the digital design translates accurately into a physical product.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for these performance tests appears to be:
- Design Intent/Specifications: For milling accuracy, the ground truth is the CAD design itself. For simulated use, the ground truth refers to the correct implementation of design constraints and workflow restrictions within the software and libraries.
- Industry Standards and Regulatory Guidance: For sterilization, biocompatibility, and dynamic fatigue, the ground truth is defined by recognized international standards (ISO) and FDA guidance documents.
- Functional Requirements: For implant-abutment connection protection, the ground truth is the prevention of damage to the connection geometry.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not describe the use of machine learning or AI models in a way that would involve a distinct "training set" in the context of typical software or diagnostic AI submissions. The workflow involves CAD/CAM software where parameters and constraints are defined by engineering and design principles rather than learned from a large training dataset.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As no specific training set for a machine learning model is described, there is no information on how its ground truth would have been established. The workflow relies on validated engineering designs, material properties, and manufacturing processes.

10.4 Device Description
The Straumann InLab Validated Workflow is similar to the primary predicate K171649. It employs optical impression files that document the topographical characteristics of teeth, traditional dental impressions, or stone models. The 3Shape CAD software then allows the design of the desired restorations.
The CAM software converts the digital restoration design into the tooling and tool path commands needed to fabricate the restoration. When choosing the Straumann Validated workflow, the user will only see the available and cleared components which were tested and demonstrated as part of the validated workflow. The milling command file is encrypted prior to transfer to the Roland DWX-42W Plus milling System; this encryption ensures that files generated using other CAD or CAM software cannot be used with the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow. The user will then load the milling command file into the Roland DWX-42W Plus milling System where it is decoded. The user loads the appropriate dental material blank and initiates the milling operation.

Straumann InLab Validated Workflow
510(k) Summary
This premarket notification includes restorations (one-piece metal patient-specific abutment restorations) manufactured from various Pre-milled Abutment Blanks (PMABs) from the Straumann Group companies : Institut Straumann AG and Neodent PMABs. The digital workflow using the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow includes the use of the following products:
Dental Scan of the patient's situation
The Straumann InLab Validated Workflow can accept files created by scanners that generate STL files which represent the patient's mouth situation using the following Intraoral or Desktop scanners : 3Shape Trios 5, 3Shape Trios 3, Allied Star SIRIOS, Medit T500. The dental scanner takes optical impressions that document the topographical characteristics of teeth or master models. This includes the location and orientation of dental implants or abutments when a Scanbody is employed during scan.
CAD Software
Under the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow, 3Shape Abutment Designer CAD Software is used as dental CAD applications that allows the user to digitally design dental restorations, based on information that was acquired by a dental scanner. As a result of the design process and the indication and material dependent dimensional limits, a three-dimensional geometry is created that is linked to the selected milling blank. The use of the Straumann Group manufacturers provided digital device models assures the accuracy of the interfaces between the designed restoration and the abutment or implant being restored.
CAM Module
The CAM interface software converts the three-dimensional geometry into milling machine control data. The CAM software uses the digital restoration geometry information and the material selection to define the tools to be used, the paths the tools are to follow to re-create the digital geometry in physical form and the speed and feed rates of the mill and the tooling. The completed CAM file is encrypted prior to being output for transfer to the milling machine. This encryption ensures that files generated using other CAD or CAM software cannot be used with the Straumann InLab Validated
{7}------------------------------------------------

10.8 Performance Testing
10.8.1 Sterilization Validation and Shelf Life
The Pre-milled Abutment Blanks subject devices are provided non-sterile and need to be sterilized by moist heat (steam) after milling into the patient-specific shape by the enduser. The recommended sterilization method has been validated according to ISO 17665-1 and applicable recommendations in the FDA guidance document "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling, issued on March 17, 2015". The sterilization methods and parameters are equivalent to the primary predicate and reference devices.
10.8.2 Biocompatibility Testing
Biological assessment has been performed according to ISO 10993-1 "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" and to the FDA Guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process', Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, Document issued on: June 16, 2016" for each of the subject devices.
The subject devices are equivalent in material and manufacturing processes to the primary predicate and reference devices, therefore, no new issues regarding biocompatibility were raised.
10.8.3 Electromaqnetic Compatibility
There are no significant changes to the materials and dimensions from the currently marketed predicate devices. Therefore, no new issues of electromagnetic compatibility are raised for the subject devices, and they can be considered MR Conditional.

"Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff – Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments" and are representative of the design and performance of the subject devices.
Milling Accuracy
To mitigate the risk of inaccurate milling, a black-box validation confirming that the dimensions of the milled restoration are the same as the intended CAD design was performed. This test shows that the data sent from the CAD software to the CAM module, sent to the mill and then used to control the milling process results in accurately milled restorations that meet the design intent of the dental technician. The results of this report show that the accuracy requirement was met considering the tool's expected lifetime as specified by the Roland Milling Machine manufacturer.
Simulated Use Validation
A simulated use validation of the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow was conducted. The purpose of this validation is to confirm that the relevant pre-milled abutment blanks with Medentika Holder components, along with their respective design constraints and workflow restrictions, are correctly implemented (adequately written and locked into the compatible design software and available libraries) within the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow.
A simulated implant-abutment connection protection test was conducted to mitigate the potential risk of damaqing the implant-abutment connection geometry during the milling of the patient-matched portions of the abutment blanks. This ensures that the safety and performance of the device are consistently maintained within the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow.
10.9 Conclusion
The conclusion drawn from the nonclinical tests submitted in this premarket notification demonstrates that the Straumann InLab Validated Workflow and submitted Pre-milled Abutment Blanks are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate and reference devices.
