DESS® Dental Smart Solutions abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for prosthetic restorations.

All digitally designed custom abutments for use with DESS® Pre-Milled Blank abutments are to be sent to a Terrats Medical validated milling center for manufacture.

The purpose of this submission is to add abutments to the DESS Dental Smart Solutions system, which includes abutments cleared previously in K242340 and K240208. The subject device abutment designs include Pre-Milled Blank Abutments, Multi-Unit Abutments (straight and angled), and abutment screws.

Pre-Milled Blank Abutments are designed for custom abutment fabrication by a CAD-CAM process. All patient-specific custom abutment fabrication is by prescription on the order of the clinician. The Pre-Milled Blank Abutments have a maximum (before milling) diameter of 10 mm or 14 mm and a solid cylindrical design with an engaging or non-engaging implant connection. They are available in versions with a straight screw channel and with an angled screw channel for esthetic considerations. The Pre-Milled Blank Abutments are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti 6Al-4V).

The design parameters for the CAD-CAM fabrication of a custom abutment from the Pre-Milled Blank Abutment are:

• Minimum wall thickness – 0.45 mm
• Minimum cementable post height for single-unit restoration – 4.0 mm (minimum cementable post height for single-unit restoration is defined as the height above the restorative margin)
• Minimum gingival height – 0.5 mm
• Maximum gingival height – 6.0 mm
• Pre-Milled Blanks are for straight abutments only

Multi-Unit Abutments: Straight and Angled are designed for attachment of multi-unit screw-retained restorations and are provided in three (3) designs, straight (0°), angled 17°, and angled 30°. The designs of the subject Multi-Unit Abutments are similar to the designs of Multi-Unit Abutments cleared in K242340 and K240208. All Multi-Unit Abutments are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).

The subject device straight Multi-Unit Abutments have a non-engaging, threaded design that attaches directly to the implant. The subject device straight (0°) Multi-Unit Abutments are included in this submission are similar in design to straight Multi-Unit Abutments cleared in K242340, K230143, and K222288. Subject device straight Multi-Unit Abutments are provided with a prosthetic platform diameter of 4.8 mm, and with a gingival height ranging from 1 mm to 5.5 mm.

The subject device angled Multi-Unit Abutments are provided only in an engaging design that requires an abutment screw. The subject device Multi-Unit Abutments angled 17° and 30° are provided with a prosthetic platform diameter of 4.8 mm, and with a gingival height ranging from 2.5 to 4.5 mm.

Select straight and angled Multi-Unit Abutments have an added coating of zirconium nitride (ZrN). This coating is identical to the ZrN coating used on abutments with ZrN cleared in K242340.

DESS® Dental Smart Solutions Screws are designed to attach the abutment to the implant or the prosthesis to the abutment. There are a total of seventeen (17) subject device screws compatible with the subject device components or previously cleared components. The new screws have designs that are similar to those of screws cleared in K242340 and K240208. Screws are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). Select subject device screws are available with DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coating and are identical to that used on screws cleared in K240208.
