    Intended Use

    BioHorizons conical dental prosthetic components connected to the endosseous dental implants are intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitations of the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for prosthetic restorations.

    All digitally designed abutments for use with Conical Ti Base abutments are to be sent to a BioHorizons validated milling center for manufacture or to be designed and manufactured according to digital dentistry workflow. The workflow system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: scan files from Intra-Oral Scanners, CAD software, CAM software, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories.

    Device Description

    The BioHorizons Conical Ti Base abutments are prosthetic components and are intended for the restoration of BioHorizons dental implants within the specific indications of each implant system. All Conical Ti Base abutments are two-piece titanium-base type abutments with a pre-manufactured titanium base component cemented to a zirconia superstructure to create the final finished dental abutment. All the titanium bases are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy per ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy (UNS R56401) for Surgical Implant Applications and are for single patient use. The prosthetics are provided non-sterile as indicated on the label. The subject devices are permanent or long-term, tissue/bone implant devices intended for more than 30 days of patient contact. BioHorizons dental prosthetics are invasive and / or surgically invasive devices placed in healed or compromised oral sites in direct contact with bone and soft tissue.

    The Conical Ti-Base abutments are provided in engaging and non-engaging designs and are designed for single-unit or multi-unit restoration with a CAD/CAM zirconia superstructure attached to the abutment. The titanium base components are available for narrow and regular platforms and with gingival heights of 0.8 mm and 2.0 mm. The titanium base component post has been manufactured with matte finish creating a roughened surface to accommodate cementing. All patient-specific custom abutment fabrication for Conical Ti Base abutments are by prescription on the order of the clinician. All zirconia superstructures for use with the subject device Conical Ti Base abutments are made at a BioHorizons validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations, as cleared in K240187, or according to a digital dentistry workflow (subject of this submission described in the section below). As cleared in K240187, zirconia material, sagemax NexxZr® zirconia (K130991) is used to fabricate the patient-specific zirconia superstructure or direct crown. The cement for bonding of superstructures or crowns is a dual cure cement, 3M™ RelyX™ Unicem 2 Automix (K022476). These cleared materials are identical to the proposed digital dentistry workflow. The pre-manufactured titanium base component are not to be modified and are only intended to permit a customized zirconia restoration.

    The design and fabrication of the zirconia superstructure will be conducted using a digital dentistry workflow requiring the use of the following equipment:

    • Scanner: 3Shape Trios 5 intra-oral scanner.
    • Design Software: 3Shape Abutment Designer Software, K151455.
    • Zirconia Material: sagemax® NexxZr zirconia, K130991.
    • CAM software: hyperDENT® Classic
    • Milling machine: imes-icore® CORiTEC 150i Pro milling machine
    • Cement: 3M™ RelyX™ Unicem 2 Automix Self-Adhesive Resin Cement, K022476.

    The designed superstructure is attached to the titanium base component by the use of an FDA-cleared cement, 3M™ RelyX™Unicem 2 Automix Self-Adhesive Resin Cement, K022476. The resulting final prosthetic restoration is screwed to the dental implant. All subject abutments are single-use and provided non-sterile. Final restoration (which includes the corresponding screw) is intended to be sterilized at the dental clinic before it is placed in the patient. The final abutment is equivalent to the final abutment cleared in K240187.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Conical Ti Base abutments.

    *Crucially, this document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets those criteria, nor does it provide details about any clinical studies, sample sizes, expert ground truth establishment, or AI effectiveness studies.

    The letter focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices based on:

    • Identical intended use: Both the subject device and the primary predicate (K240187) are "intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitations of the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for prosthetic restorations." The subject device adds the "digital dentistry workflow" aspect, which is equivalent to the secondary predicate (K231307).
    • Similar or identical design and technological characteristics: This includes material composition (Ti-6Al-4V alloy for the titanium base, sagemax NexxZr zirconia for the superstructure), manufacturing methods, digital design software and hardware (for the zirconia superstructure), design limitations, usage, sterility, and biocompatibility.

    The "Performance Data" section discusses:

    • Reliance on predicate submission data for non-clinical aspects like mechanical testing, biological safety, steam sterilization, and magnetic resonance testing, as there were no changes since the previous clearance (K240187).
    • New testing was conducted to support the CAD/CAM design and use within a digital dentistry workflow, demonstrating controls of this workflow and that the final abutment is equivalent to those produced by the validated milling center cleared in K240187. This involved assessing abutment angulation, diameter, height, wall thickness, tolerances, and part quality.
    • Surface characterization (SEM and EDX) was done on the titanium base component to ensure no residual blast media.
    • No clinical data were included in this submission.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific study details, sample sizes, expert involvement, or AI effectiveness. The clearance is based on non-clinical data and substantial equivalence to existing devices.

    The Single Platform SP1 Implant System is intended for surgical placement in the upper or lower jaw to provide a means for prosthetic attachment of crowns, bridges or overdentures utilizing delayed or immediate loading. The Single Platform SP1 Implant System is intended for immediate function when good primary stability with appropriate occlusal loading is achieved.

    The Single Platform SP1 implants in lengths 20, 22 and 24 mm when placed in the maxilla are only indicated for multiple unit restorations in splinted applications that utilize at least two implants.

    For the conventional abutment and screws:

    The Conventional Abutments and Prosthetic Screws are premanufactured prosthetic components directly connected to endosseous dental implants and intended for use in fully edentulous maxilla and/or maxilla and/or mandible to provide support for crowns, bridges or overdentures.

    For the Titanium Abutment Bases and Passive Abutments:

    The TIB and Passive Abutments are premanufactured prosthetic components directly connected to endosseous dental implants and are intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation. The TIB and Passive abutments consist of two major parts. Specifically, the titanium base and mesostructure components make up a two-piece abutment. The system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: Scan files from desktop scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories.

    For the Temporary Titanium Cylinders:

    The Southern Implants Temporary Titanium Abutments are prosthetic components directly connected to endosseous dental implants and are intended for provisional use up to 180 days as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.

    Device Description

    This submission includes fully threaded root-form dental implants with an internal cone and hexagon interface and mating abutments. The implants are provided in three diameters: Ø3.5, Ø4.0 and Ø5.0 mm. The implants are provided in a straight (0° angled) configuration only, with a 3.0 mm extended machined coronal section. The implants are provided in one prosthetic diameter (2.95 mm implants are provided in overall leneths of 8, 10, 11.5, 13, 16, 18 and 20 mm. The Ø4.0 mm implants are provided in overall lengths of 8, 10, 11.5, 13, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 mm. The Ø5.0 mm implants are provided in overall lengths of 8, 10, 11.5, 13, 16, and 18 mm.

    This submission also includes: a Cover Screw, Healing Abutments in four diameters and multiple gingival heights, Titanium Cylinder Abutments for temporary restorations, Passive Abutments with a plastic burn-out component, Equator Overdenture Abutments in multiple gingival heights, Compact Conical Abutments in straight (0) and angled (17° and 30°) designs, TIB Abutment Bases, and abutment screws.

    The Passive Abutments may be restored using either traditional cast-on workflows or digital CAD/CAM workflows using milled zirconia restorations (similar use to the TIB Abutment Bases).

    Using the traditional cast-on workflow, the Passive Abutments function as UCLA castable abutments which interface with a plastic, burn-out sleeve used to fabricate a prosthesis that is bonded directly to the top of the abutment, limited to a straight (0°) restoration when utilizing precious metal cast-on restorations.

    Using digital CAD/CAM workflows, the TIB Abutment Bases and Passive Abutments function as two-piece abutment designs, consisting of standard premanufactured titanium alloy abutments for supporting the second half (or top-half) of the abutment, a hybrid/crown dental restoration and mesostructure (SageMaxx Zirconia) bonded with cement (Ivoclar Vivadent Multilink Hybrid cement). The dental laboratory is to fabricate the mesostructure restoration by CAD/CAM technique out of zirconia. The TIB Abutment Bases and Passive Abutments then serves as the interface between the endosseous implant and the Zirconia restoration. The TIB Abutment Bases and Passive Abutments are designed to support the restoration on an endosseous implant in order to restore chewing function for the patient.

    The mesostructured restoration is a CAD/CAM designed prosthesis milled out of Zirconia (SageMaxx Zirconia), which is designed to fit the abutment base in order to restore chewing function for the patient. Each restoration is custom designed using 3Shape Abutment Designer Software in order to meet the requirements of each patient on a case-by-case basis. Limitations have been put in place in 3Shape Abutment Designer in order to prevent malfunctioning of the restoration and a maximum allowable angulation of 20° for the mesostructured component.

    All Single Platform SP1 implants are manufactured from unalloyed titanium conforming to ASTM F67, with a smooth machined collar (extended machined surface of 3 mm). The remainder of the entire endosseous threaded surface) is grit-blasted. The subject device implant material and surface is identical to the implants cleared in K222457 and K163060. The Cover Screw and Healing Abutments are manufactured from unalloyed titanium conforming to ASTM F67. The remaining Abutments are manufactured from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. The abutment screws are manufactured from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. All subject device components are manufactured in the same facilities using the same materials and manufacturing processes as used for the Southern Implants devices previously cleared in K222457 and K163060.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Single Platform SP1 Implant System." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing, legally marketed predicate devices, rather than proving that the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study or a standalone algorithm performance test.

    Therefore, the requested information regarding "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in terms of clinical performance with statistical measures, expert reading, and ground truth establishment is not present in the provided document. The 510(k) pathway for medical devices typically relies on demonstrating that a new device is as safe and effective as a predicate device, rather than requiring new clinical efficacy studies unless there are significant technological differences or new intended uses that raise new safety or effectiveness questions.

    The "Performance Data" section explicitly states: "No clinical data were included in this submission."

    However, I can extract information related to the non-clinical performance data provided to support substantial equivalence and the device's characteristics compared to predicates.

    Here's a breakdown of what is available:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
    The document does not define specific "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) or report device performance against such metrics. Instead, it demonstrates through non-clinical testing that the device's mechanical, material, and functional properties are substantially equivalent to marketed predicate devices.

    Here's a table summarizing the non-clinical performance data and findings:

    Acceptance Criteria (Proxy: Demonstration of Substantial Equivalence via Non-Clinical Performance)Reported Device Performance (Findings)
    Engineering AnalysisDemonstrated equivalence.
    Dimensional AnalysisDemonstrated equivalence.
    Sterilization Validation (ISO 11137-1, ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2)Validated.
    Bacterial Endotoxin (USP 39-NF 34)Tested according to standard.
    Static and Dynamic Compression-Bending (ISO 14801 Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants)Results demonstrated fatigue performance of the subject device that exceeds its indication.
    Scanning and Milling Validation for Passive AbutmentsValidated.
    MR Safety Testing (FDA Guidance Document "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment" - ASTM F2503, ASTM F2052, ASTM F2213, ASTM F2182, ASTM F2119)Subject devices "can be considered equally MR Safe as the predicate devices" (as tested on previously cleared devices and compared).
    Biocompatibility Evaluations (ISO 10993-1)Supported by identical materials, processing, and storage conditions as predicate devices (referenced from K222457 and K163060).
    Sterile Barrier Shelf LifeReferenced from K222457.
    Validated Steam Sterilization Instructions (ISO 17665-2)Referenced from K193084 (for non-sterile components intended for end-user sterilization).
    Software Validation Testing (FDA Guidance Document for Off-The-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices)Software verification and validation testing provided for abutment design library, including restrictions to prevent designs outside allowable limits and locked design limitations/specifications. (referenced from K193084, applicable to TIB Abutment Bases and Passive Abutments for digital CAD/CAM workflows).

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of clinical efficacy; the "test set" here refers to the non-clinical testing of the physical device. For example, "dynamic compression-bending testing was performed on worst-case subject device constructs." The exact number of constructs tested is not specified but would be dictated by the ISO standard.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the non-clinical testing data directly, but the manufacturer is Southern Implants (Pty) Ltd from Irene, Gauteng, SOUTH AFRICA. The data is retrospective in the sense that it supports a submission for a new device, often using internal lab data.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

    • This information is not applicable as no clinical study with human readers or ground truth established by experts for diagnostic performance was conducted or reported.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • Not applicable, as there was no human reader interpretation or clinical assessment requiring adjudication.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

    • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The submission explicitly states: "No clinical data were included in this submission." Therefore, no effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance is reported.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm-Only) Performance:

    • Not applicable. This is a physical dental implant system, not an AI algorithm. The only "software" mentioned is for design (CAD/CAM workflow), and its validation is to ensure it prevents designs outside of allowable limitations.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • For the non-clinical performance data, the "ground truth" is established by adherence to recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM, USP) and internal engineering specifications. For instance, the "ground truth" for fatigue performance is the passing criteria defined by ISO 14801.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • Not applicable. This product does not involve machine learning or AI models that require a training set.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

    • Not applicable as there is no training set for an AI/ML model.

    Intended Use

    The Angulated Screw Channel (ASC) Solution Abutments and SI-BASE Abutments are premanufactured prosthetic components directly connected to endosseous dental implants and are intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation. The ASC Solution Abutments and SI-BASE Abutments consist of two major parts. Specifically, the titanium base and mesostructure components make up a multi-piece abutment. The system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: Scan files from desktop scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories.

    The intended use for the engaging ASC Solution Abutments and SI-BASE Abutments used with the Ø3.0 External-Hex implants, Ø3.3 PROVATA implants and Ø3.5/Ø4.0 Deep Conical implants are intended for use with a straight mesostructure component.

    The intended use for the engaging ASC Solution Abutments and SI-BASE Abutments used with the Ø3.4 and Ø4.0 External-Hex implants. PROVATA implants and 03.5 and 04.3 TRI-NEX implants is limited to replacement of maxillary and mandibular lateral and central incisors.

    The ASC Solution Abutments and SI-BASE Abutments for Compact Conical Abutments are intended for use on straight Compact Conical Abutments with a straight mesostructure component.

    Device Description

    This submission includes two major components which make up the ASC Solution and SI-BASE Abutments - The ASC Solution and SI-BASE Abutment Base and the mesostructure restoration. Twopiece and three-piece abutments models are included. Two-piece abutments consist of the ti-base abutment and mesostructure. Three-piece abutments consist of the ti-base abutment, mesostructure, and compatible compact conical abutments.

    The ASC Solution and SI-BASE Abutments are standard premanufactured titanium alloy abutments for supporting a dental restoration and mesostructure. The dental laboratory is to fabricate the mesostructure restoration by CAD/CAM technique out of zirconia. The ASC Solution and SI-BASE Abutments then serve as the interface between the endosseous implant and the zirconia restoration. The abutments are designed to support the restoration on an endosseous implant in order to restore chewing function for the patient.

    The mesostructured restoration is a CAD/CAM designed prosthesis milled out of zirconia, which is designed to fit the abutment base in order to restore chewing function for the patient. Each restoration is custom designed using 3Shape Abutment Designer Software in order to meet the requirements of each patient on a case-by-case basis. Limitations have been put in place in 3Shape Abutment Designer in order to prevent malfunctioning of the restoration.

    The ASC Solution and SI-BASE Abutments are compatible with the Southern Implants' Deep Conical, External Hex, Provata and Tri-Nex implants and screws. The abutments are manufactured from Titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 and are color coded by Titanium nitride coating (ASC Solution Abutments) or yellow anodizing (SI-BASE Abutments). The TiN coating and anodization processes are the same as used for previously cleared anodized titanium alloy devices in K163634. The Mesostructure restoration is to be manufactured from Zirconia - Sage Max NexxZr which has been previously cleared for use in K130991.

    The digital workflow includes the following products (not subject devices to this submission):

    • Ceramic material: Sage Max NexxZr Zirconia Restorative material (K130991)
    • Cement: Ivoclar Vivadent Multilink Hybrid Abutment Cement (K130436)
    • Intra-oral scanner: 3Shape E3 Desktop Scanner
    • Abutment design software: 3Shape Abutment Designer Software (K151455)
    • Milling machine: Roland DWX51D Milling Unit
    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the Angulated Screw Channel (ASC) Solution Abutments and SI-BASE Abutments for dental implants. The document is a 510(k) summary submitted to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative manner with defined thresholds. Instead, it demonstrates compliance through comparison to predicate devices and adherence to relevant standards and guidance documents. The "reported device performance" is largely qualitative and comparative, focusing on demonstrating equivalence rather than meeting specific numerical performance targets.

    However, based on the "PERFORMANCE DATA" section and "Table of Substantial Equivalence", we can infer the following:

    Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from regulatory requirements and predicate comparison)Reported Device Performance (as demonstrated by the study)
    Biocompatibility: Meet FDA Guidance Document for ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5 (In-Vitro Cytotoxicity)Materials are identical in formulation, processing, component interactions, and storage conditions to predicate device K193084. Performed biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1.
    Sterilization: Validation per ISO 17665-1 and ISO 17665-2Validated sterilization instructions per ISO 17665-1 and ISO 17665-2 (though the device is provided non-sterile, indicating the sterilization protocol is for other components or processes).
    Software Validation: Meet FDA Guidance Document for Off-The-Shelf Software Use in Medical DevicesSoftware validation testing performed per FDA Guidance Document. Verification and validation testing conducted for the abutment design library to demonstrate that restrictions prevent design outside allowable limitations.
    Mechanical Performance (Fatigue): Meet ISO 14801 (dynamic compression-bending)Dynamic testing performed on worst-case subject device constructs. Results demonstrated fatigue performance exceeding its indication and supported by bench testing previously cleared in K173706 and K222457.
    MR Safety: Meet FDA Guidance Document "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment"MR safety testing performed on previously cleared devices (K222457). Subject devices compared to predicates and considered "equally MR Safe" as they are not worst-case in terms of material, size, or shape.
    Design Workflow: Equivalent design and manufacturing workflows to predicatesUses the same scanners (3Shape E3 Desktop Scanner) and software (3Shape Abutment Designer Software, WorkNC CAM software) and milling unit (Roland DWX51D) as the primary predicate.
    Material Equivalence: Identical or similar materials to predicatesTitanium Grade 5 Alloy (ASTM F136) for abutments and screws, Zirconia (Sage Maxx NexxZr, K130991) for restoration material, consistent with predicates.
    Indications for Use: Similar to predicate and reference devicesIndications for use statement is very similar to predicate and reference devices, differing only in device name and specific application paragraphs, but expressing shared intended use.

    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance

    • Sample Sizes for Test Set:
      • Biocompatibility: Not explicitly stated as a number of devices. The statement mentions "materials are identical in formulation, processing, component interactions, and storage conditions to the predicate device" and "biocompatibility testing per the FDA Guidance Document for Use of Standard ISO 10993-1... and ISO 10993-5 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 5: Tests for In-Vitro Cytotoxicity' was performed." This implies biological samples were used for in-vitro cytotoxicity, but the number is not specified.
      • Mechanical Performance (Fatigue): "Dynamic testing was performed on worst-case subject device constructs." The exact number is not provided, but typically, mechanical fatigue testing involves a statistically significant number of samples per "worst-case construct" to establish fatigue limits.
      • Software Validation: Not explicitly stated as a numerical sample size. It involved verification and validation for the "abutment design library" and screenshots under user verification testing, indicating a functional test rather than a numerical sample size.
      • MR Safety: Not explicitly stated for the subject device. It refers to testing performed on "previously cleared devices, K222457, PROVATA Implant System."
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for any of the tests. Given it's a 510(k) summary, the testing was likely conducted by or on behalf of Southern Implants (Pty) Ltd, which is located in "Irene, Gauteng, 0062 South Africa." The studies appear to be non-clinical (bench testing) and retrospective in the sense that they rely on comparisons to previously cleared devices and established standards, rather than new prospective human clinical trials.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

    This information is not provided in the document. The studies described are primarily non-clinical bench testing, software validation, and biocompatibility assessments, which typically do not involve establishing "ground truth" through expert consensus in the way a diagnostic AI device would. Instead, performance is measured against engineering specifications, standards (like ISO 14801), and equivalence to predicate devices.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    This information is not applicable to the types of non-clinical, hardware-focused studies described. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies or studies evaluating subjective interpretations (e.g., image reading) to establish a consensus ground truth.

    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

    There was no MRMC comparative effectiveness study and no mention of AI assistance. This device is a component for dental implants (abutments), not a diagnostic AI system or an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

    6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    This information is not applicable. The device is a physical medical component (dental abutment) and related software for design. While software validation was performed, it's for design limitations and functionality, not for an "algorithm only" performance in a diagnostic or interpretive sense. The "standalone" concept typically applies to AI algorithms that provide a diagnosis or interpretation without human intervention.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    The concept of "ground truth" as it applies to diagnostic or prognostic data is not directly applicable to these non-clinical studies. Instead, the "truth" or reference for the tests described is:

    • Biocompatibility: Established biological safety standards (ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5) and comparison to predicate device materials.
    • Mechanical Performance: International standard ISO 14801 for dynamic fatigue testing of dental implants and abutments. This involves objective physical measurements.
    • Software Validation: Functional specifications of the software and demonstration that defined design limitations are enforced.
    • MR Safety: FDA guidance document recommendations and physical testing methods to determine MR compatibility.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable. This device is not an AI diagnostic or predictive algorithm that requires a training set in the conventional sense. The "design workflow" involves CAD/CAM software but this refers to a process for custom fabrication, not machine learning model training.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

    This submission also includes: a Cover Screw (one design/size); Healing Abutments in two diameters (3.5 and 4.5 mm) each in three gingival heights (3, 4, and 6 mm); Titanium Cylinder Abutments for temporary restorations in one size and two designs (engaging and non-engaging); Passive Abutments with a plastic burn-out component, in one size and two designs (engaging and non-engaging); PEEK Abutments for temporary restorations in one size and two designs (engaging and non-engaging); Compact Conical Abutments in straight (0°) and 20°, angled design for multi-unit restorations: Narrow TIB Abutment Bases (engaging): and abutment screws.

    Passive Abutments are UCLA castable abutments which interface with a plastic, burn-out sleeve used to fabricate a prosthesis that is bonded directly to the top of the abutment, limited to a straight (0°) restoration.

    The Narrow and Compact Conical TIB Abutment bases are two-piece abutment designs, consisting standard premanufactured titanium alloy abutments for supporting a hybrid/crown dental restoration and mesostructure (SageMaxx Zirconia) bonded with cement (Ivoclar Vivadent Multilink Hybrid cement). The dental laboratory is to fabricate the mesostructure restoration by CAD/CAM technique out of zirconia. The TIB abutment base then serves as the interface between the endosseous implant and the Zirconia restoration. The TIB Abutment Base is designed to support the restoration on an endosseous implant in order to restore chewing function for the patient. The mesostructured restoration is a CAD/CAM designed prosthesis milled out of Zirconia (SageMaxx Zirconia), which is designed to fit the abutment base in order to restore chewing function for the patient. Each restoration is custom designed using 3Shape Abutment Designer Software in order to meet the requirements of each patient on a case-by-case basis. Limitations have been put in place in 3Shape Abutment Designer in order to prevent malfunctioning of the restoration and a maximum allowable angulation of 20° for the mesostructured component.

    All Provata implants are manufactured from unalloyed titanium conforming to ASTM F67, with a smooth machined collar (0.6mm or extended machined surface of 2 or 3 mm). The remainder of the entire endosseous threaded surface) is grit-blasted. The subject device implant material and surface is identical to the implants cleared in K163634 and K180465. The Cover Screw and Healing Abutments are manufactured from unalloyed titanium conforming to ASTM F67. The remaining Abutments are manufactured from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. The PEEK Abutments are manufactured from medical grade white Polyetheretherketone. The abutment screws are manufactured from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136. All subject device components are manufactured in the same facilities using the same materials and manufacturing processes as used for the Southern Implants devices previously cleared in K163634, K180465, K193084 and K191250.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Provata Implant System, which describes various dental implants and abutments. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria beyond the general statement of "demonstrated fatigue performance of the subject device that exceeds its indication" based on ISO 14801 testing.

    Therefore, most of the requested information cannot be extracted from the given text.

    However, I can extract information related to performance testing and mention the lack of specific acceptance criteria and performance reports.

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
      This information is not explicitly provided in the document. The document states that "Dynamic testing was performed on worst-case subject device constructs. The results from the testing demonstrated fatigue performance of the subject device that exceeds its indication." However, no specific acceptance criteria or quantitative performance results are reported.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

      • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. The document only mentions "worst-case subject device constructs" were used for dynamic compression-bending testing.
      • Data Provenance: Not specified.
    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. The reported testing is non-clinical (mechanical fatigue testing), not related to clinical ground truth established by experts.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
      Not applicable. This is not a clinical study involving adjudication.

    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
      No, a multi-reader multi-case comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission is for dental implants and abutments, and the non-clinical performance data focuses on mechanical and biological characteristics, not AI-assisted human reading.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
      Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
      Not applicable. The performance data is based on non-clinical mechanical testing and material equivalence.

    8. The sample size for the training set
      Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device requiring a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Intended Use

    The TIB Abutments are premanufactured prosthetic components directly connected to endosseous dental implants and are intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.

    Device Description

    This submission includes two major components which make up the TIB Abutment Base and the mesostructure restoration.

    The TIB Abutment base is a standard premanufactured titanium alloy abutment for supporting a dental restoration and mesostructure. The dental laboratory is to fabricate the mesostructure restoration by CAD/CAM technique out of zirconia. The TIB abutment base then serves as the interface between the endosseous implant and the zirconia restoration. The TIB Abutment Base is designed to support the restoration on an endosseous implant in order to restore chewing function for the patient.

    The mesostructured restoration is a CAD/CAM designed prosthesis milled out of zirconia, which is designed to fit the abutment base in order to restore chewing for the patient. Each restoration is custom designed using 3Shape Abutment Designer Software in order to meet the requirements of each patient on a case by case basis. Limitations have been put in place in 3Shape Abutment Designer in order to prevent malfunctioning of the restoration.

    The TIB Abutments are compatible with the Southern Implants' Deep Conical, External Hex, Provata and Tri-Nex implants and screws. The TIB abutment bases are manufactured from Titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 and are color coded by gold anodizing. The anodization process is the same as used for previously cleared anodized titanium alloy devices in K163634. The Mesostructure restoration is to be manufactured from Zirconia - Sage Max NexxZr which has been previously cleared for use in K 130991.

    The digital workflow includes the following products (not subject devices to this submission):

    • Ceramic material: Sage Max NexxZr Zirconia Restorative material (K130991)
    • Cement: Ivoclar Vivadent Multilink Hybrid Abutment Cement (K130436)
    • Desktop scanner: 3Shape E3 Desktop Scanner is 510(k) exempt under regulation . 872.3661)
    • Abutment design software: 3Shape Abutment Designer Software (K151455)
    • Milling machine: Roland DWX51D Milling Machine
    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the TIB Abutment System and its performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing acceptance criteria and proving the device meets those criteria through a study with specific performance metrics.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer questions 2 through 7 directly from the provided text as the document does not present acceptance criteria in a quantitative format, nor does it detail a standalone study with performance metrics for the TIB Abutment System against such criteria. Instead, it relies on comparative equivalence with already cleared devices and various non-clinical tests.

    However, I can extract information related to the performance data and ground truth establishment that were conducted as part of the substantial equivalence demonstration.

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    The document does not explicitly state quantitative "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" for the TIB Abutment System in a format that would fit a table like the one requested. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through various non-clinical tests and comparisons. The performance data listed are primarily compliance tests against recognized standards rather than specific device performance metrics against predefined thresholds.

    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

    The document does not specify sample sizes or data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for the non-clinical tests mentioned. It only lists the types of tests performed.

    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. The document refers to non-clinical tests and compliance with standards, not expert-adjudicated ground truth.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    Not applicable. The document refers to non-clinical tests and compliance with standards, not expert adjudication.

    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 a dental abutment system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and no MRMC study or AI-related effectiveness is mentioned.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    The document describes non-clinical testing of the device components and workflow, which can be considered a form of standalone evaluation for the device itself. The types of standalone tests performed include:

    • Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5.
    • Validated sterilization instructions per ISO 17665-2.
    • Software validation testing per FDA Guidance.
    • Scanning and milling validation.
    • Static and dynamic compression-bending to ISO 14801.
    • Mechanical ISO 14801 Fatigue Testing for implant platforms.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    The "ground truth" in this context is established by adherence to recognized international standards and FDA guidance documents for medical device testing. For example:

    • Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5 standards.
    • Sterilization: ISO 17665-2.
    • Software Validation: FDA Guidance Document for Off-The-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices.
    • Mechanical Testing: ISO 14801.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    Not applicable. This document describes a medical device (dental abutment system) and its non-clinical testing for substantial equivalence, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    Not applicable, as there is no training set for a machine learning model mentioned.
