The device being discussed is "Straumann® SLActive® labeling changes" (K223083). This 510(k) pertains to labeling changes for existing Straumann® SLActive® dental implants and does not introduce new implants or modify existing implant designs. The primary predicate device is K171784 – Straumann Dental Implant System, with several other Straumann® implant systems listed as reference devices.
The acceptance criteria and supporting study are primarily focused on substantiating the updated labeling, particularly regarding the use of SLActive implants in smokers and general wording clarifications.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria (Evaluation by FDA) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from Submission) |
---|---|
For General Labeling Changes (Changes to Indications for Use wording): | |

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The core of the "study" for the labeling changes, especially concerning the "smokers' claim," was a systematic literature review, not a direct clinical trial conducted by the applicant for this 510(k).
- Sample Size for Smokers' Claim: The literature review included data from 5 publications which collectively involved 251 SLActive implants placed in 237 patients.
- Data Provenance: The data came from published clinical studies. The document does not specify the exact country of origin for all studies, but at least two cited papers involve authors from China (Xiao, Chen), one from Saudi Arabia (Alsahhaf), and the ITT World Symposium (Chen 2017) was held in Switzerland. The studies are explicitly described as "clinical studies," implying they were prospective or retrospective clinical investigations.
For other non-clinical performance characteristics (sterility, biocompatibility, dynamic fatigue, insertion tests, MR safety), these appear to be internal bench tests and assessments conducted by the manufacturer, or previously established for the cleared predicate/reference devices. No specific sample sizes for these tests are provided in this summary, but it's stated that "No significant changes have been performed to the subject implants since clearance so previously cleared bench data continue to be representative."
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- For the "smokers' claim" (literature review): The "ground truth" (i.e., the reported outcomes like adverse event rates and implant failure rates) was established by the authors of the original 5 clinical publications. The document does not specify the qualifications of these individual authors. However, given they are "published clinical studies," it's understood that dental/medical professionals (e.g., oral surgeons, periodontists, implantologists) would have conducted these studies and reported the outcomes.
- For the equivalence discussion of Indications for Use: The "ground truth" is established by comparing the proposed wording against the previously cleared wording in the primary and reference predicate devices, which were approved by the FDA based on clinical and scientific evidence at the time of their clearance. This comparison itself is performed by regulatory affairs experts on behalf of the manufacturer.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- For the "smokers' claim" (literature review): The adjudication of adverse events and implant failure rates was performed within each of the original 5 clinical studies. The specific adjudication methods used in those individual studies are not detailed in this 510(k) summary. Given the nature of scientific literature, these studies would typically involve clinical follow-up and assessment by the treating clinicians/researchers.
- For the Indications for Use equivalence: This is a comparison process, not a clinical adjudication. The equivalence of wording is assessed by regulatory experts against the historical FDA clearances.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was NOT done. This submission is for labeling changes for dental implants, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was done
- Not applicable. This submission is for a medical device (dental implants), not a software algorithm or AI.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For the "smokers' claim": The ground truth was clinical outcomes data reported in peer-reviewed published clinical studies. These outcomes included adverse events (e.g., failure to osseointegrate, peri-implantitis, bone loss) and implant failure rates.
- For other performance tests (sterility, fatigue, etc.): The ground truth would be established through defined bench testing protocols and adherence to international standards (e.g., ISO, FDA guidance).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This submission is not for a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set. The "smokers' claim" was based on a literature review which leverages existing published clinical data, akin to an external validation set rather than a training set for the current submission.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- Not applicable. (See point 8.)

Straumann® Mini Implants ø2.4 mm are suitable for oral endosteal implantation in the upper and lower jaw of fully or partially edentulous patients. The implants can be placed with immediate function when good primary stability is achieved. Strauman® Mini Implants are intended for the stabilization of removable dentures.
The Straumann Mini Implants are tapered implants with an external diameter of 2.4 mm and lengths of 10, 12, and 14 mm. Standard manufacturing processes such machining, surface treatment, cleaning, packaging and sterilization were applied for the subject devices. There are no significant changes related to the implant material, surface treatment, fundamental operating principles, sterilization processes or procedures between the subject devices and the reference devices cleared under K083550. The main difference is the Optiloc® attachment element incorporated on the top of the implant. The implants are manufactured utilizing the Roxolid material and are finished with SLA® surface. The implant neck is machined and the Optiloc® attachment element of the implants is acting as a retention feature for dentures and it is coated using a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating. Straumann® Mini Implants Ø2.4 mm are suitable for oral endosteal implantation in the upper and lower jaw of fully or partially edentulous patients. The implants can be placed with immediate function when good primary stability is achieved. The Straumann Mini Implants are intended for the stabilization of removable dentures. The removable dentures are connected to the Mini Implants through the incorporated Optiloc® attachment element.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Straumann® Mini Implants. The information provided heavily focuses on the comparison to predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than a clinical study evaluating the device's performance against specific quantitative acceptance criteria in a human population.
Therefore, many of the requested details regarding acceptance criteria for device performance in a clinical setting, sample sizes for test sets, expert involvement for ground truth, and MRMC studies will not be present in this type of regulatory submission. The performance testing outlined here is primarily bench testing to demonstrate mechanical and material equivalence.
Here's an analysis based on the provided document:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The document does not specify quantitative clinical performance acceptance criteria (e.g., success rates, complication rates) and corresponding reported device performance from a clinical trial. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" discussed are related to bench testing for demonstrating equivalence to predicate devices.
Table 1: Acceptance Criteria (Bench Testing) and Reported Device Performance
Test/Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit from Equivalence Claim) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from Bench Testing) |
---|---|---|
Insertion Torque | Reach a suitable implant insertion torque, comparable to predicate/reference devices. | Average value of insertion torque measurements for each bone plate density and each implant length are "within the defined acceptance criteria." |
Wear Testing (Optiloc® attachment retention) | Retention force loss of the Optiloc® blue ring within acceptable limits. | The retention force loss of the Optiloc® blue ring on Straumann Mini Implants "passed the acceptance criteria." |
Biocompatibility | No new issues raised compared to previously cleared materials. | Roxolid material and TiN coating previously cleared (K083550, K190040). |
Sterilization | Achieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6. | Validated in accordance with ISO 11137-1:2006 and ISO 11137-2:2013, achieving SAL of 10^-6. |
Shelf Life | Maintain integrity and sterility for 5 years. | Determined through real-time and accelerated aging (ASTM F 1980) to be 5 years. |
Pyrogenicity | Meet pyrogen limit specifications. | Testing limit of 20 EU/device met via LAL Endotoxin Analysis. |
Dynamic Fatigue | Mechanical performance comparable to predicate devices under dynamic loading. | Demonstrated equivalence to primary predicate devices in tests conducted according to ISO 14801 and FDA Guidance. |
Study Details (Based on Provided Document)
Given that this is a 510(k) submission primarily relying on substantial equivalence through bench testing, a traditional clinical study with a "test set" in the context of AI/diagnostic device evaluation (as implied by the detailed questions) was not conducted or reported here. The performance testing discussed pertains to physical and mechanical characteristics of the dental implants.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of a clinical test set for AI/diagnostic performance. The "test set" here refers to the samples of the physical device used for bench testing (e.g., number of implants for insertion torque, wear, and fatigue tests). Specific quantities are not provided, but these are typically small, controlled laboratory samples.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in terms of patient data. The data provenance is from laboratory bench testing.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. Ground truth for a physical device's mechanical properties is established through standardized engineering tests, not expert consensus on medical images or clinical outcomes.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This concept applies to human reader studies or data labeling, not bench testing of a physical implant.
-
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:
- No. This is irrelevant to the evaluation of a dental implant's mechanical and material properties. The device is a physical implant, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This also refers to AI/software performance, not a dental implant.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" for this device is based on engineering standards and specifications (e.g., ISO 14801, ISO 11137), and the properties of the previously cleared predicate devices. For example, a successful fatigue test to a certain threshold is "ground truth" for mechanical durability.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning model, so there is no "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As noted above, there is no training set for this type of device.
Summary of what the document primarily reports:
The document, a 510(k) summary, demonstrates the substantial equivalence of the Straumann® Mini Implants to legally marketed predicate devices. This is achieved by:
- Comparing Indications for Use: Showing the new device's indications are equivalent to a predicate (K031106), with one difference (not indicated for inter-radicular transitional applications) that does not raise new safety or effectiveness questions.
- Comparing Technological Characteristics: Detailing similarities and differences in material, dimensions, coating, surface treatment, etc., with predicates and reference devices (Table 1).
- Performance Testing (Bench Testing): Conducting various engineering tests (insertion torque, wear, biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life, pyrogenicity, dynamic fatigue) and demonstrating that the device meets internal "acceptance criteria" for these tests, which are implicitly set to show equivalence to or non-inferiority against the predicate devices' known performance. The tests adhere to relevant FDA guidance and ISO standards.
This type of submission is common for Class II medical devices where clinical trials are not explicitly required if substantial equivalence can be demonstrated through non-clinical means.

All digitally designed CAD/CAM customizations for the Elos Accurate® Customized Abutments are only intended to be sent and manufactured at a FDA registered Elos Medtech approved milling facility.
The Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment is a patient specific abutment intended for attaching to dental implants in order to provide basis for single- or multiple tooth prosthetic restorations. The Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment will be attached to the implant using the included Elos Prosthetic Screw and attached to the crown/coping manually by cementation. The Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment consists of an Abutment Blank used in fabricating of a full patient-specific abutment in Titanium alloy per ASTM F136. The Abutment Blank used in creation of the Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment has a pre-manufactured connection interface that fits directly to a pre-specified dental implant. The customized shape of the abutment is intended to be manufactured by an Elos Medtech approved milling facility. The Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment is delivered nonsterile and the final restoration including corresponding Elos Prosthetic Screw is intended to be sterilized at the dental clinic before it is placed in the patient. The Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment provides clinicians and laboratories with a prosthetic device that can be used in definitive (permanent) single- or multi restorations.
The provided text describes the Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment, a dental device, and its FDA 510(k) clearance. This document is a regulatory submission, not a study report detailing AI/ML model performance. Therefore, many of the requested criteria related to AI/ML model evaluation are not applicable or cannot be extracted directly from this type of regulatory submission.
However, I can provide information based on the device's performance against engineering and material acceptance criteria, as well as the non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to its predicate device. This is primarily focused on mechanical and biological compatibility, not AI/driven diagnostic accuracy.
Here's the information derived from the provided text, adapted to the closest relevant categories:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
For a device like the Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment, acceptance criteria primarily relate to mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and compatibility with implant systems. The "reported device performance" here refers to the aspects that were tested and deemed acceptable through non-clinical testing to establish substantial equivalence.
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria/Test | Reported Device Performance (as demonstrated by testing) |
---|---|---|
Mechanical Performance | Fatigue Strength & Durability (per ISO 14801 guidance) | Demonstrated acceptable fatigue performance, supporting the extended angulation (up to 30°) and reduced minimum wall thickness (0.4mm) compared to the predicate (20° and 0.5mm respectively). The specific numerical fatigue values are not provided, but the conclusion states "fatigue testing" was performed and supported substantial equivalence. |
Implant System Compatibility (for new compatible platforms) | Demonstrated compatibility with new implant systems: Nobel Replace NP, Nobel CC (3.0, RP, WP), and Straumann Bone Level (NC, RC) through engineering and dimensional analysis. | |
Biocompatibility | Cytotoxicity (per ISO 10993-5) | Tests showed acceptable cytotoxicity for the non-coated prosthetic screw (subject device), the MediCarb coated screw (predicate device), and the Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment (representative of subject device as per predicate testing). |
Sterilization Efficacy | Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6 (per ISO 17665-1 & 17665-2 for steam sterilization) | No additional testing was necessary for the subject device as the primary predicate device (K171799) had already demonstrated an SAL of 10^-6 for steam sterilization, and the subject device will use the same sterilization process. |
Manufacturing Consistency | Digital CAD/CAM Customization | All digitally designed customizations must be sent to and manufactured at an FDA-registered Elos Medtech approved milling facility. This is a process control, not a performance metric per se, but ensures the final product meets design specifications. |
Design Specifications | Minimum Wall Thickness | 0.4 mm (demonstrated to be acceptable through fatigue testing, despite being thinner than the predicate). |
Maximum Angulation | Up to 30° (demonstrated to be acceptable through fatigue testing, an increase from the predicate's 20°). |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML model. The evaluation here is based on non-clinical testing (mechanical, dimensional, and biocompatibility).
- Sample Size: The document does not provide specific numerical sample sizes for the engineering tests (e.g., how many abutments were subjected to fatigue testing). This level of detail is typically found in the full test reports, not the 510(k) summary.
- Data Provenance: The data comes from non-clinical laboratory testing and engineering analyses performed by or for Elos Medtech Pinol A/S. The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated, but the company is located in Denmark. The data is prospective in the sense that these tests were conducted specifically for this submission to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This question is not applicable. The device is a physical dental abutment, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool requiring expert interpretation for "ground truth." Ground truth, in this context, would be established by validated measurement techniques, material science principles, and biological testing standards (e.g., ISO standards for mechanical testing and biocompatibility).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable. "Adjudication method" refers to the process of resolving disagreements among human readers or experts for establishing ground truth in a diagnostic study. For this device, acceptance is based on meeting predefined engineering and biological performance standards through validated testing.
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
This is not applicable. No MRMC study was performed as this is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm. Its design uses CAD/CAM technology, but the clearance is for the physical abutment itself, not a diagnostic algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For this device, the "ground truth" or basis for acceptance relies on:
- Established engineering standards: e.g., ISO 14801 for fatigue testing of dental implants.
- Biocompatibility standards: e.g., ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity.
- Dimensional analysis: Verifying compatibility with specified implant systems.
- Material specifications: Conformance to Titanium Alloy 6Al-4V ELI (medical grade 5).
There is no "expert consensus" in the diagnostic sense or pathology/outcomes data used for device clearance as described in the summary.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable because there is no AI/ML model for which a "training set" would be used.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable because there is no AI/ML model for which training set ground truth would be established.

The Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr are indicated for single tooth replacement and multiple tooth restorations. The prosthetic restoration can be cemented or directly veneered/screw-retained.
Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr are used for the restoration of Straumann dental implant platforms RN (Regular Neck), WN (Wide Neck), NC (Narrow CrossFit), and RC (Regular CrossFit). The Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr allow for individual customization regarding function and esthetics. Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr are designed by the dental laboratory technician either by means of a conventional wax-up model that is subsequently scanned or by scanning the intraoral situation and designing the shape by using a Straumann-approved software (such as Straumann® CARES® Visual). The design data is then transferred to a Straumann central milling center where the fabrication of the customized abutment is carried out. The Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr can be directly veneered.
The provided text describes the regulatory filing for a dental implant abutment and does not contain information about an AI/ML device. Therefore, it's not possible to extract the requested details regarding acceptance criteria, study design for AI models, or expert ground-truthing. The document pertains to a traditional medical device (Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr) and its equivalence to predicate devices based on material, design, and mechanical performance testing.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the traditional medical device as described:

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "ArgenIS Titanium Abutments" by Argen Corporation. This type of regulatory submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, not for proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study or performance goals with clinical outcomes. Therefore, much of the requested information (like expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, training set details, or effect size of human readers with AI assistance) is not applicable to this type of device and submission.
Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request, highlighting what can and cannot be extracted:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the format of a clinical trial or performance study with numerical targets and achieved results. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence by comparing the device's technical characteristics and performance to predicate devices. The "performance" in this context refers to bench testing to ensure functional compatibility and mechanical integrity, not clinical outcomes.
Feature | Acceptance Criteria (Implied / Predicate Comparison) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Material | Predicate devices use Titanium-6AL-4 Vanadium ELI Alloy or CP Titanium. | ArgenIS Titanium Abutments use Titanium-6AL-4 Vanadium ELI Alloy. (Consistent with predicate K143051 and functionally equivalent to CP Titanium for this application). |
Intended Use | Similar to predicate devices: construction of dental restorations supported by endosseous dental implants, single use, prescription only, designed to fit individual patient needs. | ArgenIS Titanium Abutments share the same intended use: single-use, prescription-only for dental restorations supported by endosseous dental implants, designed for individual patient needs. "Minor changes in descriptive terms used in the indications for use do not change the intended use of the proposed device." |
Prosthetic Connection | Compatibility with specific implant systems (Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Astra Tech) as listed for predicate devices and the new device. | ArgenIS Titanium Abutments are compatible with a range of Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Astra Tech implant systems, similar to the scope covered by the various predicate devices. |
Implant Diameters/Lengths | Within the range of existing predicate devices. | ArgenIS supports diameters 3.3mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.1mm, 4.3mm, 4.5mm, 4.8mm, 6.0mm, 6.5mm, which are covered by the collective range of the predicate devices. |
Type of Retention | Screw-retained to the implant; prosthesis cement-retained to the abutment, consistent with predicate devices. | ArgenIS Titanium Abutments are screw-retained to the implant, with the prosthesis cement-retained to the abutment. (Identical to all predicates shown). |
Manufacturing Process | Machining, consistent with predicate devices. | ArgenIS Titanium Abutments are manufactured via machining. (Identical to all predicates shown). |
Abutment Sterilization | Moist Heat (Steam), consistent with predicate devices. | ArgenIS Titanium Abutments use Moist Heat (Steam) for sterilization. (Identical to all predicates shown). |
Abutment Angulation | Within the range of predicate devices (0°-30°). | ArgenIS Titanium Abutments have an angulation range of 0° - 30°. (Consistent with primary predicate K143051, and overlaps with/encompasses other predicates' ranges). |
Dimensional Compatibility | Demonstrated through tolerance analysis and functional fit checks. | "Testing included tolerance analysis to ensure abutment/implant interface compatibility. Functional fit checks of abutment blank to compatible implant and prosthetic screw. Testing showed correct functionality of the device as per its intended use, including dimensional compatibility, and mechanical performance." |
Mechanical Performance (Fatigue) | Conformance to ISO 14801 for worst-case scenarios (smallest diameter, shortest length from each platform). This implicitly means meeting at least the performance levels of predicate devices that would also conform to ISO 14801. | "Fatigue testing was conducted on worst case scenario samples. Worst case scenario was defined as the smallest diameter and shortest length from each platform. The worst case scenarios from each of the proposed platforms were tested per ISO 14801." (The document asserts conformance to performance specifications, implying successful completion of these tests in line with relevant standards and predicate performance). |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: The document mentions "worst case scenario samples" for fatigue testing but does not specify the exact number of samples. This is typical for bench testing where the focus is often on specific critical configurations rather than a large statistical sample of all possible configurations.
- Data Provenance: This was "Non-clinical test data" from "Bench testing." As such, there is no country of origin for patients or retrospective/prospective classification. It's laboratory data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable. This device is an implant abutment, and the testing involved engineering/mechanical validation (bench testing), not clinical diagnosis or interpretation requiring expert human judgment for ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. There was no human expert adjudication of test results in the clinical sense. Performance was determined by objective measurements during bench testing against engineering specifications and standards.
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
Not applicable. This device is a dental implant abutment, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on engineering specifications, material properties, and relevant international standards (e.g., ISO 14801). For compatibility and fit, it's about precise dimensional measurements and physical mating tests against the actual or specified dimensions of compatible implant systems.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI model.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.

Straumann® dental implants are indicated for oral endosteal implantation in the upper and lower jaw and for the functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate patients. Straumann dental implants can also be used for immediate or early implantation following extraction or loss of natural teeth. Implants can be placed with immediate function on single-tooth and/or multiple tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function. The prosthetic restorations used are single crowns, bridges and partial or full dentures, which are connected to the implants by the corresponding elements (abutments).
The subject devices represent a line extension of the previously cleared implants of the Straumann Dental Implant System. The subject devices represent a full line of Straumann implants having the Ti-13Zr alloy (Roxolid®) and the SLA grit blast and acid etch surface finish in the same diameters, lengths, emergence profiles and implant-to abutment interfaces as previously cleared implants in the Straumann Dental Implant System.
This document (K150938) describes the Straumann® Dental Implant System - Roxolid® SLA Implants, which are dental endosseous implants. The primary purpose of this 510(k) submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices. The key change is the use of a Titanium-13Zirconium alloy (Roxolid®) for the implants, compared to commercially pure Grade 4 Titanium in the predicate devices.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for specific performance metrics in a tabular format. Instead, it relies on demonstrating that the new material change (Roxolid®) does not negatively impact the performance compared to the predicate devices which used commercially pure Grade 4 Titanium. The performance is assessed through various bench studies.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Material Equivalence: The Ti-13Zr alloy (Roxolid®) must be shown to be equivalent or superior to commercially pure Grade 4 Titanium for dental implant applications. | The subject devices are made from Ti-13Zr alloy (Roxolid®), which has been previously reviewed and cleared in K111357, K081419, K083550, K121131, and K122855. This implies its biocompatibility and suitability are accepted. Technological characteristics (connections, diameters, lengths, surface finish) are identical to predicate devices. |
Dynamic Fatigue Performance: The new material implant system must meet established dynamic fatigue standards for endosseous dental implants. | Dynamic fatigue test data consistent with FDA guidance and ISO 14801 have been referenced in support of this submission. (Specific acceptance values are not provided in this summary, but the stated consistency with ISO 14801 implies meeting its criteria). |
Transfer Piece Removal Force: The force required to remove the transfer piece must be within acceptable limits. | Transfer Piece removal force data has been provided. (Specific data and acceptance limits are not provided in this summary, but the provision of data implies it met acceptable levels). |
Surface Finish Characteristics: The SLA surface finish must be consistent with prior cleared devices. | Surface finish characteristics and surface chemistry analysis data have also been provided. The documents state the SLA surface finish remains the same as the predicate devices. |
Sterilization Efficacy: The sterilization method must achieve the required sterility assurance level. | Gamma Irradiation, 25 kGy min., validated per ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2 to an SAL of $1 \times 10^{-6}$. This is identical to the predicate device. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document explicitly states that the substantial equivalence of the device is addressed via "bench studies" and "dynamic fatigue test data consistent with FDA guidance and ISO 14801." However, it does not provide specific sample sizes (e.g., number of implants tested), the exact test parameters beyond "ISO 14801," or the provenance of the data (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). This information would typically be detailed in the full test reports, which are not included in this summary.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This is a medical device approval based on bench testing and material equivalence, not on clinical performance or interpretation of images by experts. Therefore, the concept of "experts used to establish the ground truth" for a test set (like in a diagnostic AI study) is not applicable here. The "ground truth" for the bench tests would be the results obtained following the specified standards (e.g., force values, cycles to failure).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. As noted above, this submission relies on bench testing and material characterization, not human interpretation or adjudication of outputs.
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
Not applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. It is a dental implant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or software device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device's performance relies on engineering standards and scientific verification of material properties and mechanical performance. This includes:
- Material composition analysis: Verifying the Ti-13Zr alloy (Roxolid®) composition.
- Mechanical testing: Dynamic fatigue testing according to ISO 14801.
- Surface characterization: Analysis of the SLA grit blast and acid etch surface finish characteristics and surface chemistry.
- Sterilization validation: Conformance to ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2 for sterility assurance level (SAL).
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of this traditional medical device approval process. The device's performance is not learned through data like an AI model; it's designed and verified through engineering principles and testing.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

The design of subject device is customized to the requirements of each patient as may be specified by the prescribing dentist. Customization is limited by the minimum dimensions for wall thickness, diameter, height, collar height and angulation.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the CreoDent Solidex® Customized Abutment:
Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a traditional clinical trial report with specific acceptance criteria as might be found for a novel device. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly related to demonstrating performance equivalence to the predicate devices through non-clinical testing.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given the nature of this 510(k) summary, the "acceptance criteria" are the demonstration of equivalent or superior performance to the predicate devices through specific non-clinical tests. The reported device performance is that these tests showed sufficient strength and compatibility.
Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Mechanical Strength (Fatigue Testing): Device maintains structural integrity and function under dynamic loading conditions, comparable to or better than predicate devices. | "Static/Fatigue testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 14801:2007E Dentistry-Implants-Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants with the worst case scenario..." demonstrated "sufficient mechanical strength for their intended clinical application." |
Dimensional Compatibility: Device fits correctly and securely with specified implant systems. | "Reverse engineering dimensional analysis using compatible implant fixtures..." confirmed compatibility. |
Sterilization Efficacy: Sterilization process is effective in rendering the device sterile. | "Sterilization validation according to ISO 17665-1 was performed." |
Material Equivalence/Superiority: Material properties are suitable for the intended use and are equivalent or superior to predicate devices. | Abutment is Ti-6A1-4V Eli titanium alloy (ASTM F-136 Standard), which is a "higher grade material with more tensile strength" than the primary predicate's CP Ti Gr4 (ASTM F67). Screw is CP Ti Gr4 (ASTM F67), same as predicate. Differences were mitigated by fatigue testing. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document describes non-clinical laboratory testing, not human or animal clinical trials. Therefore, the concept of a "test set" in the context of clinical data or AI systems does not directly apply.
- Sample Size for Testing: The document does not specify the exact number of abutments or implants tested in the static/fatigue testing, dimensional analysis, or sterilization validation. It refers to these as "testing" or "analysis" without numerical details on the quantity of items used.
- Data Provenance: The data comes from non-clinical laboratory testing conducted by the manufacturer, CreoDent Prosthetics, Ltd. There is no information regarding country of origin of data beyond the manufacturer's location in New York, USA, or whether it's retrospective or prospective, as it's not a clinical study.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This section is not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established through internationally recognized engineering standards (ISO 14801:2007E, ISO 17665-1) and direct physical/mechanical testing, not through expert clinical consensus or interpretation of images/data by human experts.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This section is not applicable. As the testing is non-clinical and based on objective engineering measurements and standards, there is no need for an adjudication method involving human experts.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging devices or AI algorithms that rely on human interpretation of outputs. The CreoDent Solidex® Customized Abutment is a physical medical device (dental implant abutment), not a diagnostic or AI software.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This device is a physical product, not an algorithm or AI software.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the CreoDent Solidex® Customized Abutment is based on:
- Engineering Standards and Specifications: Adherence to ISO standards (ISO 14801:2007E for fatigue, ISO 17665-1 for sterilization) and ASTM material standards (ASTM F-136, ASTM F67).
- Objective Mechanical and Physical Measurements: Results from static/fatigue testing and reverse engineering dimensional analysis.
- Comparison to Predicate Devices: Demonstrating that the subject device's performance, materials, and indications for use are substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This section is not applicable. The device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
This section is not applicable for the same reason as above; there is no training set for a physical medical device.

DEFCON TSA/TSH implants are suitable for the treatment of oral endosteal implantation in the upper and lower jaw and for the functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation of edentulous and partially dentate patients.
DEFCON TSA/TSH implants are for single-stage or two-stage surgical procedures and cement or screw retained restorations.
Implants are intended for immediate loading on single-tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading, to restore chewing function if the requirement detailed in the surgical manual is satisfied. When placing implants in the posterior region, we recommend using only large diameter (Ø6.0 mm and above) implants.
Specific indications for small diameter (Ø3.3 mm) implants: Because of their reduced mechanical stability, small diameter implants are only used in cases with a low mechanical load. Placement in the molar region is not recommended.
DEFCON TSA / TSH dental implant systems are threaded, root-form endosseous implants of various diameters and lengths and corresponding abutments. Implants are composed of Titanium commercially pure, feature different implant to abutment connection options and are available with modified surfaces to promote improved osseointegration. Implant abutments are composed of Titanium commercially pure, Titanium alloy 6Al 4V and POM-C.
Primary stability, adequate osseointegration and mechanical performance of the implant connection are fundamental to implant success. Device design characteristics including the thread profile, geometry, surface finish and crestal characteristics are based on these concepts.
The provided text describes the "IMPLADENT DEFCON TSA/TSH Dental Implant Systems," a root-form endosseous dental implant. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to already marketed predicate devices rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and a study to prove performance against those criteria in the way a clinical trial might.
Therefore, the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, study characteristics (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance), and training set details for an AI/CAD device is not available in the provided text.
The document explicitly states:
- "No clinical studies are submitted." (Section 5: 510(k) SUMMARY)
- The device was subject to "bench testing to determine conformance to performance [requirements]... specifically including mechanical performance... and biological testing in accordance with the level and duration of contact with the human body, surface finish evaluation including chemical analyses, and sterilization process validation." (Section 5: 510(k) SUMMARY - NON-CLINICAL TEST SUMMARY)
This indicates that compliance was demonstrated through non-clinical, laboratory bench testing, not through human clinical studies where acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy (common in AI/CAD systems) would typically be evaluated.
The "acceptance criteria" in this context are related to the mechanical, biological, and material properties of the implant, which were likely evaluated against industry standards or internal specifications during bench testing. However, the specific metrics and comparison to reported performance are not detailed in the summary provided.
In summary, as this is a 510(k) for a physical medical device (dental implant) and not an AI/CAD system, the requested information on acceptance criteria, clinical study design, and performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, reader improvement, etc.) is not applicable or present in the provided document.
