NobelZygoma TiUltra implants
The NobelZygoma TiUltra implants are endosseous dental implants intended to be surgically placed in the zygomatic bone to support a dental prosthesis in the upper arch, in order to restore patient esthetics and chewing function. The NobelZygoma Implants are appropriate for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading.
Multi-Unite Abutment Xeal Zygoma
The Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma are indicated to support the placement of multiple unit, screw-retained prosthetic restorations in the maxilla including full arch dentures.
NobelZygoma Multi-Unite Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws
The NobelZygoma Multi-Unit Abutment Screws are indicated for use to secure a dental abutment or framework to a dental implant for supporting tooth replacements and are indicated as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.
The Subject Device NobelZygoma TiUltra Implant system is composed of three device lines: NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants, Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma and NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws.
The NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants are endosseous dental implants surgically placed in the zygomatic bone to provide support for prosthetic devices. They are used with patients with severe bone resorption in the maxilla to provide multi-point support of the dental reconstruction. The NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants are used to support the rehabilitation of a fully or a partially edentulous maxilla. The Subject Devices are only intended for extra-maxillary placement.
The subject Implants are made from unalloyed titanium grade 4 (ASTM F67) and present a two-level anodized surface with a soluble salt (protective) layer. Two variants of the Implants are available based on the collar angulation: the NobelZygoma 0° and the NobelZygoma 45° TiUltra Implants. The NobelZygoma 0° CC TiUltra Implants feature a conical connection platform with an internal hex (size RP). The NobelZygoma 45° Ext Hex TiUltra Implants include an external hexagonal platform (size RP).
The NobelZygoma TiUltra implants are available in lengths ranging from 30 mm to 60 mm, in 2.5 mm increments. They feature a partially threaded design. The neck portion, measuring 3.6 mm from the platform, and the shaft portion which varies depending on the implant length, are unthreaded. For all implant lengths, threading consistently begins at the apex and extends 18 mm coronally.
The NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants are co-packed with an implant mount, which is attached via a pre-assembled implant mount screw to the platform of the implant.
The Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma are premanufactured prosthetic components intended to be connected to the compatible NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants to support the placement of a dental prosthesis.
The Multi-unit Abutment (MUA) Xeal Zygoma are made from Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V (90% titanium, 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, ASTM F136) and feature a non-porous oxide layer with a soluble salt (protective) layer. The Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma are attached to the respective NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants by the compatible NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screw.
The Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma are available in four different angulations (straight or 0°, 17°, 45° and 60°) and in different heights ranging from 3 to 9mm (2mm increase). The 45° and 60° angulations are used with the NobelZygoma 0° TiUltra implants, while the Straight (or 0°) and 17° angulations are compatible with the NobelZygoma 45° TiUltra Implants. The 17° MUA is only available in two heights (3 and 5mm).
The Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma are provided sterile and co-packed with the respective abutment handle and NobelZygoma Multi-Unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma Screw.
The NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws are dental implant screws designed to fasten dental implant system components to a dental implant or to another component.
The subject screws are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V (90% titanium, 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, ASTM F136) and are partially DLC-coated. They are available in different design and sizes to fit the different Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma. The Straight NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws are available in four sizes to fit the respective Straight Multi-Unit Abutment heights. The screws for the 45°/60° Multi-Unit Abutments and the 17° Multi-Unit Abutment are only available in one size that fits all abutment sizes.
The NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws are co-packed with the compatible Mult-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma and are also available separately.
The provided document is a 510(k) Clearance Letter from the FDA for the "NobelZygoma TiUltra Implant system." This type of document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than explicitly detailing acceptance criteria and presenting a single, comprehensive study proving the device meets those criteria.
However, the document does contain information about non-clinical and clinical testing performed to support the substantial equivalence claim. I will extract the relevant information to answer your questions to the best of my ability, acknowledging that not all requested details may be explicitly present in this type of regulatory submission summary.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Note: The document does not explicitly list acceptance criteria in a formal table with pass/fail values. Instead, it describes various tests performed and compares the subject device's performance to predicate devices or established standards. The "Reported Device Performance" column reflects the summary of findings from the validation studies described.
| Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from testing) | Reported Device Performance (Summary of Findings) |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Fatigue Performance | Performed at least as well as the defined benchmark reference system in dynamic loading tests (ISO 14801 adapted for zygomatic implants and FDA Guidance). |
| Implant Insertion Torque | Site preparation protocols allow seating implants with equal or less torque than the benchmark reference system. |
| Magnetic Resonance (MR) Safety | Labeled as MR Conditional according to ASTM F2503, based on testing in accordance with relevant ASTM standards and FDA Guidance. |
| Biocompatibility | Verified in accordance with ISO 10993-1 series and FDA Guidance. |
| Packaging Performance | Validated as intended (maintains integrity after simulated transportation and distribution) in accordance with ISO 11607-1, ISO 11607-2, ASTM D4169, ASTM D4332, ASTM F1886, ASTM F2096. |
| Shelf-life | Confirmed at 5 years in accordance with ASTM F1980. |
| Sterilization Validation | Conducted in accordance with ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2, ISO 11137-3, AAMI TIR29, and AAMI TIR 35. Achieved SAL 10-6. |
| Endotoxin Pyrogenicity | Endotoxin limit respected through LAL test according to United States Pharmacopeial Convention; periodic monitoring done as per AAMI ST72. |
| Surface Modification/Roughness | Comparative roughness verification (WLI) confirmed the subject devices exhibit a rougher surface at the collar/shaft compared to Reference Device #3. Within roughness range of Reference Device #7 (which has a similar surface technology). |
| Clinical Performance / Implant Survival | Multiple clinical studies and RWE show implant survival rates generally above 90% and up to 100% for various zygomatic implant configurations (including predicate/reference devices). Post-market surveillance data for subject devices showed similar performance in osseointegration complaint rates compared to NobelZygoma TiUnite implants. TiUltra implants overall showed a mean survival rate of 99.5%. |
| Clinical Adverse Events | Reported adverse events (e.g., implant failure, soft tissue recession, inflammation, sinusitis, hematomas, paresthesia, orbital cavity penetration, screw/prosthesis fracture) were managed with appropriate treatments and did not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, or were comparable to known predicates. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: The document does not provide specific sample sizes for the non-clinical tests (fatigue, torque, MR, biocompatibility, packaging, sterilization, endotoxin, surface roughness). These are typically determined by relevant standards.
- For clinical published literature, the sample sizes varied:
- Three studies on non-full arch applications involved 176 similar zygomatic implants.
- Systematic literature review on quad configuration reported data for a mean implant survival rate (implies a larger, unspecified number of cases).
- Two clinical studies involving Nobel Biocare zygomatic implants: n=15 (minimum 79 months follow-up) and n=302 (mean 7.9 years follow-up).
- A total of 40 clinical publications were provided to support the established history of safe clinical use (number of implants/patients unspecified in this summary).
- Seven clinical cases with a total of 16 NobelZygoma TiUltra implants were presented.
- 36 clinical publications on NobelReplace and TiUltra implant family (number of implants/patients unspecified in this summary).
- For clinical published literature, the sample sizes varied:
- Data Provenance:
- Clinical Studies: Published literature (implies peer-reviewed, multi-center, potentially international data).
- Real-world evidence (RWE): Post-market surveillance for the Subject Devices from July 2024 to May 2025. This is prospective data specific to the subject device after initial market introduction (likely under a different clearance or within a broader market).
- Clinical Case Studies: Seven cases presented directly by the submitter.
- The document implies that data from various regions would be included in "published literature" and "post-market surveillance." No specific countries of origin are mentioned beyond "Nobel Biocare" (Sweden/Switzerland) and "Southern Implants (Pty) Ltd" (implies South Africa). The nature of most clinical data is retrospective (published studies, post-market surveillance).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
The document does not specify the number of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set (clinical studies). Clinical studies typically rely on diagnoses and assessments made by treating clinicians (dental surgeons, prosthodontists) based on established medical practices and diagnostic criteria, rather than a separate "ground truth" panel for the study itself, unless it's a specific adjudication or consensus study. Such details are usually found within the full study protocols and reports, which are not part of this 510(k) summary.
4. Adjudication Method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the Test Set
The document does not specify any adjudication methods for the clinical data presented. This information would typically be detailed in the methodology sections of the individual clinical studies or systematic reviews referenced, which are not provided in this summary.
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
The document describes a dental implant system (hardware), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study focusing on human reader improvement with/without AI assistance is not applicable and was not performed.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable as the device is a dental implant system, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- Non-Clinical Tests: Ground truth is based on established engineering and materials science principles, international standards (ISO, ASTM), and FDA guidance documents. Performance is evaluated against these benchmarks.
- Clinical Performance Data: Ground truth is primarily based on outcomes data, specifically:
- Implant survival rate: Directly reported as percentage (e.g., 97.4%, 100%, 89.9%, 99.5%).
- Reported adverse events and complications: Clinical observations and diagnoses by treating dentists/surgeons. Resolution of these events are considered outcomes.
- Osseointegration: Inferred from success rates and lack of failure/complaints related to implant stability.
- Patient esthetics and chewing function: These are indications, and clinical data indirectly supports their achievement through successful implant function.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The concept of a "training set" is typically associated with machine learning or AI algorithms. Since this is a physical medical device (dental implant system), it primarily relies on engineering design, materials science, and clinical validation. Therefore, a "training set" in the context of an algorithm is not applicable. The development and testing would involve design iterations and validation studies, but not an algorithmic training process with a distinct training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As noted in point 8, the concept of a "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm is not applicable to this physical device. Therefore, the establishment of ground truth for such a set is also not applicable. The "ground truth" for the device's design and performance validation is derived from established scientific principles, pre-clinical testing, and clinical outcomes for the device itself and its predicates.

Page 32
Page 28 of 35
The similarities between the Subject Device line NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws and the respective predicate and reference devices (Reference Devices #4, #5 and #6) are as follows:
- The Intended Use and Indications for use of the Subject Screws are the same as the respective Reference Devices (#4, #5 and #6).
- Like the Predicate/Reference Screws, the Subject Screws are pre-manufactured dental implant screws designed to fasten dental implant system components to a dental implant or to another component. The screw thread engages the internal thread of implant while the screw head engages the seat feature on abutment. Tightening of the screw applies compressive force between the implant and abutment.
- All Subject and Predicate/Reference Screws are made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and are partially DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coated. The Subject Screws feature the same screwdriver interphase as the respective Predicate/Reference Device.
- The Subject straight Screws are available in four sizes to fit the varied straight Multi-Unit Abutment heights, plus two single-sized screws for the 45°/60° Multi-Unit Abutments and the 17° Multi-Unit Abutments. The Subject Screw length for the 17° MUAs is the same as the respective Reference Device #5.
- All Subject and Predicate/Reference Screws are single-use and available co-packed with the respective Multi-unit Abutments. When co-packed with the respective MUAs, all screws are sterile (gamma irradiation, SAL 10-6) and in the same packaging system with a shelf-life of 5 year. The Subject Screws are also available individually packed (sterile version). Reference Devices #5 and #6 are also available individually packed (non-sterile).
1.7.6 Differences Between the Subject and Predicate Device(s)
Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants
There are no significant differences between the Subject Device line NobelZygoma TiUltra Implants and the respective Predicate/Reference Devices but there are minor differences as follows:
- A different choice of words on the instructions for immediate loading included in the Indications for Use of the Subject NobelZygoma 45°Ext Hex TiUltra is provided when compared to the Primary Predicate (NobelZygoma 45° Implants). The indications for use of the Subject Devices includes the zygomatic bone for consistency with the anatomical placement of the device.
Page 33
Page 29 of 35
- The Subject Implants and Reference Device #3 are intended for extra-maxillary applications, whereas the Primary Predicate and Reference Devices #1 and #2 are intended for a broader range of clinical applications, including intra-sinus applications.
- While the overall macro-design of the Subject Devices and the respective predicate and reference devices is the same,
- the diameter of the Subject NobelZygoma 0° TiUltra is unified with the 45° angulated zygomatic implants and is smaller when compared to the diameter of the Reference Device #1 (NobelZygoma 0° Implants).
- the Subject NobelZygoma 0° TiUltra Implant feature a conical connection similar to the Reference Device #3 and the Reference Device #7.
- the Subject NobelZygoma 45° Implants introduces a modified implant mount design with an overall slimmer design and a more compact connection interface when compared to the Primary Predicate. In addition, The Subject NobelZygoma 0° CC TiUltra is also provided assembled with a new compatible implant mount and screw.
- The Subject Devices are available in implant lengths of up to 60 mm, similar to Reference Device #2.
These modifications do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The implant length range of the Subject Devices (from 30mm to 60mm) is the same as that of the Reference Device #2. The additional lengths and modified features were tested whenever deemed to represent a worst-case. Worst-case fatigue testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Subject Device performs at least as well as the defined benchmark reference system and that the difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
- The Subject Implants introduce a modified surface topography (TiUltra) with a soluble salt (protective) layer as surface preservation. This TiUltra surface technology, consisting of a multi-level surface topography and including a soluble salt (protective) layer, is already applied to existing Nobel Biocare TiUltra dental implants (e.g., Reference Device #7).
- Comparison with Reference Device #7:
The Subject Devices have a two-level surface topography, compared to the three-level topography of Reference Device #7 (different intended use and indications). The surface roughness of the two-level design falls within the roughness range of the three-level surface. The soluble salt (protective) layer in the Subject Devices is identical in composition and concentration to that of Reference Device #7. - Comparison with Reference Device #3:
- Comparison with Reference Device #7:
Page 34
Page 30 of 35
Both zygomatic implants are unthreaded at the shaft/collar area (Level 1). The Subject Devices exhibit a rougher surface at Level 1, as demonstrated by comparative verification testing.
- Surface Treatment Comparison:
The Subject Devices, along with the Primary Predicate, Reference Device #1 and Reference Device #7 are anodized. In contrast, Reference Device #3 features a machined surface at the coronal/shaft region and a resorbable blast media surface treatment at the distal region.
The TiUltra surface of the Subject Devices does not raise new questions regarding substantial equivalence. This is supported by comparative roughness verification testing with Reference Device #3. Real-world evidence (RWE) on the Subject Devices, along with clinical data comparing NobelReplace CC PMC (machined collar) and NobelReplace CC TiUnite (anodized collar), as well as clinical data on the Nobel Biocare TiUltra implant family, support the surface treatment of the Subject Devices at Level 1. This is further supported by worst-case fatigue testing, biocompatibility evaluation, and sterility and packaging performance.
- The Subject Devices present a single-sterile barrier packaging configuration similar to Nobel Biocare N1 TiUltra Implants (K211109).
Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma
There are no significant differences between the Subject Device line Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma and the respective Predicate/Reference Devices but there are minor differences as follows:
- The Subject Devices have a slightly different profile and come in different height variants with new sizes being introduced when compared to the Reference Devices #4, #5 and #6 and include heights of ca.:
- Straight, 45° and 60° MUAs: 3mm, 5mm, 7mm, and 9mm
- 17° MUAs: 3mm and 5mm
Worst-case fatigue testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Subject system performs at least as well as the benchmark reference system and that the differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
- The Subject Devices are provided with surface anodization (Xeal), with a surface roughness (Sa) of <0.8μm, and covered by a soluble (protective) layer, whereas the the Reference Devices #4, #5 and #6 are machined (profile roughness (Ra) of <3.2μm). The surface topography and salt surface preservation layer (salt chemical
Page 35
Page 31 of 35
composition and salt concentration) of the Subject Devices is the same as the Reference Device #8. Biocompatibility evaluation and fatigue testing demonstrated that this technological difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
In addition, for 45° and 60° Multi-unit Abutments Xeal Zygoma Ext Hex
- The Subject 45° and 60° Multi-unit Abutments (MUAs) incorporate a retention thread feature to enable pre-assembly of the Abutment screw prior to MUA placement and to help prevent loss of screw during MUA placement and removal.
- The Subject Multi-unit Abutments (MUAs) incorporate the MUA plus interface design, to enable the connection of the Temporary Snap Copings. This functionality, already integrated in Reference Device #8, is provided to simplify the workflow during the try-in and adjustment of the provisional prosthesis.
- The Subject 45° and 60° Multi-unit Abutment feature a conical connection similar to the Reference Device #8. Worst-case fatigue testing demonstrated that this technological difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and that the Subject Devices perform at least as good as the benchmark reference system.
- The Subject 45° and 60° Multi-unit Abutments are co-packed with an abutment holder while the Reference Device #6 is not. The abutment holders, which do not remain in the patient, are made from Titanium alloy, same as the Reference Device #5.
NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws
There are no significant differences between the Subject Device line NobelZygoma Multi-unit Abutment Xeal Zygoma Screws and the respective Predicate/Reference Device but there are minor differences as follows:
- The range of the Subject straight Screws is broader than the range of the respective Predicate/Reference Screws (Reference Device #4) to accommodate the varied Subject straight Multi-Unit Abutment heights.
- The 45°/60° MUA screw length seat position is higher in the Multi-unit Abutment to minimise the volume of free space.
- The Subject Screw length for the 45°/60° MUAs is within range of the length of the Reference Device #6.
- The Subject Screws when provided individually packed are provided sterile in the same sterile packaging system as when provided co-packed with the Subject compatible MUAs. Predicate/Reference Screws (Reference #5 and #6) when
Page 36
Page 32 of 35
provided individually packed are provided non-sterile and require reprocessing prior to use. The Subject Devices and provided sterile, are single-use and are not intended to be reprocessed by the end user.
Overall Conclusion:
Based on a comparison of intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, principle of operation, features, and performance data, the Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra Implant system is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the Predicate Devices. The technological differences do not raise new concerns of substantial equivalence.
The Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra Implant system does not introduce a fundamentally new scientific technology, and nonclinical performance testing and clinical performance data demonstrates that the Subject system is substantially equivalent. The performance testing and clinical performance data described in this submission supports the conclusion that the Subject Devices perform as well as the Predicate Devices for its intended use.

Summary of Clinical Performance Data
Multiple sources of real-world evidence were provided to demonstrate the performance of the Subject Device.
The body of clinical data included supportive published literature along with real-world evidence in form of post-market surveillance data and clinical case studies.
Published Literature:
- Three clinical studies involving 176 similar zygomatic implants in non-full arch applications, including NobelZygoma TiUnite, Noris Medical Zygomatic and JDZygoma dental implants, were provided to support the use of the Subject Devices in non-full arch applications. Reported adverse events include implant failure, soft tissue recession, and local inflammation. One patient (out of 167) died of myocardial infarction during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Comparative clinical data to demonstrate substantially equivalence outcomes of similar zygomatic implant devices used in a quad versus a hybrid zygoma approach
Page 38
Page 34 of 35
was provided. The main body of clinical data included a systematic literature review and two clinical studies involving Nobel Biocare zygomatic implants (Zygoma RP, Brånemark System Zygoma TiUnite and NobelZygoma TiUnite implants).
-
The systematic review reported a mean implant survival rate of 97.4% for the quad configuration. For quad zygoma approach, patients reported postoperative discomfort, paresthesia, and hematomas, all of which healed within a few days to weeks. Some peri-implant inflammation and bleeding were observed but did not affect osseointegration. Additional studies documented instances of unilateral sinusitis, hypoesthesia, soft tissue inflammation, and implant failure, with appropriate treatments leading to resolution. There were also occurrences of orbital cavity penetration, infection, sinusitis, abutment screw fracture, and prosthesis fracture, all of which were addressed with suitable interventions.
-
The two clinical studies involving a total of 317 patients treated with zygomatic implants using quad, hybrid, or mixed approaches reported implant survival rates of 100% (n= 15, minimum follow-up of 79 months, quad/hybrid) and 89.9% (n = 302, mean follow-up of 7.9 years, quad/hybrid/mix). No implant-related adverse events were reported in the first study, while sinusitis was the most commonly observed complication in the second. The second study concluded that the quad approach was not associated with a statistically significant increase in implant loss compared to the classic scheme (p = 0.109).
In addition, a total of 40 clinical publications were provided to support the established history of safe clinical use of zygomatic implants in a quad configuration. These studies primarily involved various models of Nobel Biocare zygomatic implants (Zygoma RP, Brånemark System Zygoma TiUnite, NobelZygoma TiUnite), as well as other zygomatic systems such as Noris, Straumann and Southern implants, and utilized various surgical techniques including extra-maxillary. None of the studies reported a survival rate below 90%.
Real-world evidence on the Subject Devices and clinical data on NobelReplace and the TiUltra implant family was presented to address any potential additional difference in technological characteristics, such as surface treatment and topography, of the Subject Implants.
- Post-market surveillance data was collected for the Subject Devices from July 2024 till May 2025. Complaint rates of the Subject Devices were compared to the complaint rates of the NobelZygoma TiUnite implants (Primary Predicate Device and Reference Device #1) and found to have similar performance in terms of osseointegration.
Page 39
Page 35 of 35
- Seven clinical cases with a total of 16 NobelZygoma TiUltra implants in maxillary rehabilitation, including hybrid and quad configuration, were presented. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported.
- 36 clinical publications including clinical data on NobelReplace CC PMC (machined collar), NobelReplace CC TiUnite (anodized collar), and Nobel Biocare TiUltra implant family were provided to support the surface treatment/roughness of the Subject Devices at the implant body (collar/shaft).
- Both Nobel Replace CC Implant lines (machined vs anodized collar) show comparable safety profiles with respect to osseointegration and similar mean survival rates.
- The clinical data on TiUltra Implants reported a mean implant survival rate of 99.5. Except for one study that reported mild inflammation, plaque, or bleeding, no adverse events were reported.
In addition, post-market surveillance data on the TiUltra Implants show osseointegration complaint rates comparable to those of the respective TiUnite implant family.
Overall, based on a comparison of intended use, indications, material composition, technological characteristics, principle of operation, features and performance data, the Subject NobelZygoma TiUltra Implant system is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the Predicate Devices. The technological differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
