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.

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).
• 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.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification decision letter from the FDA to Nobel Biocare AG regarding their Dental Implant Systems Portfolio - MR Conditional. It explicitly states that the letter covers indications for use and general controls, but does not contain information about acceptance criteria or performance studies for the device itself.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for the following reasons:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Performance Data: The document is a regulatory clearance letter, not a clinical study report. It does not contain acceptance criteria for device performance, nor does it present any data from studies proving the device meets particular criteria. The letter confirms substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, which means the FDA has determined the device is as safe and effective as a previously cleared device, not that specific performance metrics were tested and met in a new study.
2. Study Details (Sample size, data provenance, experts, adjudication, MRMC, Standalone, Ground Truth, Training Set): Since no performance study data is included in this FDA 510(k) clearance letter, none of these details can be extracted. The document refers to various previously cleared predicate devices (e.g., K202452, K202344, K181869), but it doesn't describe the studies that led to their clearance.

In summary, the provided text does not contain the information necessary to describe acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria.
