Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical prosthetic components directly connected to the endosseous dental implants are indicated for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitations. The patient-specific prosthetic restoration (bridge or over-denture) can be cemented on the Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical prosthetic components. A temporary restoration can be used prior to the insertion of the final components to maintain, stabilize and form the soft tissue during the healing phase. Temporary restorations are indicated to be placed out of occlusion. Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical and patient-specific restorations may be placed into occlusion when the implant is fully osseointegrated. All digitally designed Straumann® Variobase® for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical prosthetic components are intended to be sent to Straumann for manufacture at a validated milling center.

The Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical, see Figure 1 and Table 1, are non-engaging (without rotational lock) abutments made from Ti-6Al-7Nb (TAN) that support a bridge or bar reconstruction (framework or full contour) on two or more dental implants. The corresponding basal screw is delivered with the abutment for connecting the abutment to the implant. A dental laboratory technician designs and manufactures the bridge/bar reconstruction via their preferred workflow using traditional or CAD/CAM methods.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "Straumann® Variobase™ for Bridge/Bar Cylindrical". It does not describe a study that uses software, AI, or machine learning. Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader multi-case studies as these concepts are not applicable to the provided document.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical characteristics and bench testing (dynamic fatigue, software validation, sterilization validation, and biocompatibility testing) for a dental implant abutment. The "Software validation conforming to the requirements of IEC 62304" mentioned in the Performance Data section refers to the validation of software used in the manufacture of the device (specifically, for digitally designed components intended to be sent to a validated milling center), not a clinical performance or diagnostic AI component of the device itself.
