This FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to a dental implant abutment — the Dynamic TiBase — not an AI-powered diagnostic device or software. Therefore, the information typically requested about acceptance criteria and study designs for validating AI/ML-based medical devices (such as sample size, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details) is not applicable to this document.
The "performance data" section in this 510(k) summary refers to traditional engineering and biocompatibility testing for a physical medical device, not performance metrics for an algorithm.
Here's how to interpret the provided document in the context of "acceptance criteria" and "proof":
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (as inferred for a physical device):
For a physical device like the Dynamic TiBase, the "acceptance criteria" are generally met through demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device. This involves validating material properties, manufacturing processes, functional performance (e.g., mechanical strength, compatibility), and biocompatibility.
The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" refers to the non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Acceptance Criterion (Inferred for a Dental Abutment) | Reported Device Performance / Proof |
---|---|
Biocompatibility (Device materials are safe for biological contact) | Referenced from K232151 (provided in K212108): Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) for abutment materials ASTM F136 (titanium alloy) and ISO 13356 (zirconia). This indicates the materials did not show cytotoxic effects when tested according to the standard. |
Mechanical Performance/Strength (Abutment can withstand oral forces without failure) | Provided in this submission: Mechanical testing conducted according to ISO 14801 to support the performance of the subject device abutments in conjunction with the compatible OEM implants. This standard specifically evaluates the fatigue strength of endosseous dental implants. The successful completion of this testing, validated against the predicate device, implies the device meets required load-bearing capacities. |
MRI Safety (Device does not pose undue risk in MRI environment) | Provided in this submission: Non-clinical worst-case MRI review to evaluate subject device components in the MR environment using scientific rationale and published literature. This included addressing magnetically induced displacement force and torque parameters as per FDA guidance. The review concluded that the device is safe for MRI under specified conditions. |
Sterilization Efficacy (Device supplied non-sterile can be effectively sterilized by user) | Referenced from K232151 (provided in K212108): Moist heat sterilization validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 by the overkill method according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1 and ANSI/AAMI/ISO TIR 17665-2. This demonstrates that the specified sterilization method for end-users achieves the required sterility. |
Dimensional Compatibility & Fit (Device correctly interfaces with specified implants) | Provided in this submission: Reverse engineering dimensional analysis (of OEM implant bodies, OEM abutments, and OEM abutment screws) to demonstrate that the subject device abutments are compatible with listed OEM Implant Systems (Osstem® TS/ Hiossen® ET, Neodent GM, NobelActive, Straumann Bone Level, and Straumann BLX Implant Systems). This confirms the physical design correctly matches the intended implant systems. |
Material Conformance (Materials meet specified standards) | Materials confirmed to conform to: Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F136, ISO 5832-3) for titanium components; Zirconia (ISO 13356) for superstructure; Nova Resin Cement (cleared in K213609) for bonding. This demonstrates the use of medical-grade, standard-compliant materials. |
Manufacturing Quality (Device is produced under controlled conditions) | Stated that zirconia superstructures will be made at a Talladium España, SL validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations. This implies adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). |
Regarding the specific questions about an AI/ML context:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Provided above, adapted for a physical medical device.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The "test set" for this physical device refers to the number of physical abutment samples or material samples subjected to mechanical, biocompatibility, and MRI testing. The document does not specify exact sample numbers for these engineering tests, only the standards used (e.g., ISO 14801 typically specifies minimum sample sizes). Data provenance is "non-clinical data" generated from laboratory 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 dental abutment's performance is established by engineering standards, material specifications, and physical testing, not by expert human interpretation of images or clinical outcomes in the same way as an AI diagnostic.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. This is a concept used in evaluating human reader performance in AI studies.
- 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 for AI-assisted diagnostic devices.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This refers to an AI algorithm's performance.
- The type of ground truth used: For a physical device, "ground truth" is defined by adherence to established engineering standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for mechanical strength), material properties, and biocompatibility standards. "Reverse engineering dimensional analysis" served as a form of "ground truth" for compatibility. No pathology or outcomes data was used for this premarket notification.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary, this 510(k) clearance is for a physical medical device (dental abutment), and the "performance data" section details the engineering and material testing conducted to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness, primarily through substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices. It does not involve AI/ML validation methodologies.

| CAM Restriction Zones / Manufacturing Accuracy | - Validation testing of CAM restriction zones conducted, including verification to show avoidance of damage or modifications of the connection geometry, and locking of restriction zones from user editing in CAM software. (Implies successful validation to ensure manufacturing precision and prevent damage.) |
| Material Conformance | - Zirconia materials conform to ISO 6872. - Titanium alloy conforms to ASTM F136.
- Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforms to ASTM F15337. (Implies materials meet standards.) |
| Physical Dimensions | - Device encompasses the same range of physical dimensions as the predicate device. (Implies dimensional equivalence.) |
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: Not explicitly stated in terms of a "test set" for diagnostic performance. The validation involved physical testing of components (e.g., fatigue testing) and software verification. The specific number of abutments or digital design instances used for these non-clinical tests is not detailed in this summary.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of patient data for an AI/ML device. The "data" here refers to engineering and material testing results, likely conducted in controlled lab environments (implied to be in accordance with international standards like ISO and ASTM). The manufacturer is Terrats Medical SL, in Spain, so testing would likely originate from their facilities or contracted labs.
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 is not a diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" for this device relates to engineering specifications and material science.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. This is not a diagnostic device involving expert review 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 device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For this device, the "ground truth" is based on:
- Engineering Specifications: Defined design parameters (e.g., minimum wall thickness, post height, angulation limits).
- Material Standards: Conformance to international standards such as ASTM F136, ISO 6872.
- Benchmarking/Predicate Equivalence: Performance is assessed against established performance of the predicate devices and OEM implant systems.

- Test Set Provenance: The data is generated from bench testing (laboratory studies), not from clinical data involving human patients. Therefore, information like "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective/prospective" is not applicable in the typical sense of clinical trials. The testing was performed in vitro.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable as the studies are non-clinical bench tests. The "ground truth" for these tests is based on established engineering standards (e.g., ISO 14801), biological evaluation standards (ISO 10993), and internal company protocols for mechanical and cleaning validation, not on expert clinical interpretation of patient data.
4. Adjudication Method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the Test Set
This information is not applicable as the studies are non-clinical bench tests. Adjudication methods are typically employed in studies involving human interpretation or clinical endpoints to resolve discrepancies in assessment.
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
An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI-powered diagnostic devices involving human readers/interpreters, which is not the case for this dental implant abutment. The device is a physical component, not a diagnostic AI tool.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
A standalone performance study was not done in the context of an algorithm. This question is relevant for AI/software devices; this device is a physical medical device. The "standalone" performance here refers to the device's mechanical and biological performance on its own, which is what the bench tests evaluate.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance evaluations relies on:
- Established engineering and biological standards: e.g., ISO 14801:2016 for dynamic fatigue, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ANSI/AAMI/ISO for sterilization.
- Predetermined acceptance criteria: For retention force, simulated use, and cleaning efficacy, the "ground truth" is defined by specific pass/fail criteria established during the test design based on expected clinical performance and safety.
- Dimensional accuracy and compatibility models: For compatibility testing, the "ground truth" is established by the dimensions and specifications of OEM implant bodies and abutments.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable because the device is a physical medical component, not a machine learning model or AI algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
This information is not applicable for the same reason as above (not a machine learning model).

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for DESS Dental Smart Solutions, which are dental implant abutments. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving a device's effectiveness through clinical performance studies with specific statistical acceptance criteria for accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (in terms of clinical metrics like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity).
- Sample size used for the test set or its provenance.
- Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
- Adjudication method for the test set.
- Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or its effect size.
- Standalone (algorithm only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data).
- Sample size for the training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established.
The study described in this document focuses on non-clinical performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence, specifically:
- Sterilization validation: According to ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, and ISO 14937.
- Biocompatibility testing: According to ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-12.
- Fatigue testing and reverse engineering analysis: Of OEM implant bodies, OEM abutments, and OEM abutment screws to confirm compatibility. This includes fatigue testing of OEM implant bodies with patient-specific abutments made at worst-case angled conditions.
- MR Conditional labeling.
- Validation testing of CAM restriction zones: Including verification to show avoidance of damage or modifications of the connection geometry, and locking of restriction zones from user editing in the CAM software.
- Software verification: Included testing of restrictions that prevent design of components outside of the stated design parameters. The abutment design library was validated to demonstrate that established design limitations and specifications are locked and cannot be modified by the user.
The acceptance criteria and reported "performance" for this submission are based on these engineering and design validations, ensuring the device meets safety and performance standards equivalent to the predicate device, K221301. The key "performance" metrics are about maintaining physical and material integrity and compatibility.
The core of the submission is to expand the DESS Dental Smart Solutions abutment system to:
- Allow design using AbutmentCAD software (in addition to 3Shape software).
- Add angulation (up to 30°) to some Pre-milled (Blank) Abutments for specific implant systems.
The document explicitly states: "No clinical data were included in this submission." and "The subject device, the predicate device, and reference devices have the same intended use, technological characteristics, and are materials. The subject device, the predicate device, and reference devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, manufactured by similar methods, are packaged in similar materials, and are to be sterilized using similar methods. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above."
Therefore, this FDA submission is for a physical medical device (dental implant abutment) and its manufacturing/design software modifications, not an AI or diagnostic device that would involve clinical performance metrics like sensitivity or specificity.

Based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary for the "Conical Platform Dental Implants System," here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
Important Note: This document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This is different from a PMA (Premarket Approval) application, which requires clinical efficacy and safety studies. Therefore, the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refers to non-clinical performance testing and comparisons to predicate devices, rather than a full-scale clinical trial with human subjects. The document primarily focuses on physical and material characteristics and demonstrates equivalence through engineering analyses rather than clinical outcomes with an AI component.
The request asks for information that is more typical of a software as a medical device (SaMD) or AI/ML device approval, such as "number of experts," "adjudication method," "MRMC study," and "training set ground truth." However, this document describes a dental implant system, which is a physical device, and does not mention any AI/ML components. Therefore, many of the requested points related to AI/ML device evaluation are not applicable or cannot be found in this submission. I will address the points that are applicable to this type of device and note where information is not present in the provided text.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for this physical device are primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices in terms of design, materials, indications for use, and performance testing (specifically fatigue).
Feature / Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (demonstrated by) | Reported Device Performance (as demonstrated in submission) |
---|---|---|
Indications for Use | Substantially equivalent to predicate devices (Noris Medical Ltd. - Tuff (K140440), Nobel Biocare – NobelActive ® (K142260), Paltop Advanced Dental Solutions Ltd. - PCA (K130462)). | "Noris Medical Ltd Conical Platform Dental Implants System is intended to replace missing tooth/teeth in either jaw for supporting prosthetic devices that may aid in restoring the patient's chewing function." Specific mention for Ø3.25 implants for lateral incisor in maxilla and/or central/lateral incisor in mandible. Similar to predicates. |
Material | Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136) for implants, healing caps, abutments, Multi-Unit abutments, abutment screws, cover screws. Must be biocompatible. | All components consistently listed as Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI. Biocompatibility leveraged from K151909 (Noris Medical Ltd. - Zygomatic Implants), indicating identical material/manufacturing/surface treatments. |
Design | Conical connection, specific diameters and lengths as per product range. Threaded root-form implant design. Must be comparable to predicate designs. | Detailed descriptions of UniCon and Tuff UniCon implants (conical connection, internal hex, diameters: 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4.2mm; lengths: 8, 10, 11.5, 13, 16, 18mm). Detailed descriptions of healing caps, abutments, and screws with specified dimensions. Comparisons to predicates show similar design descriptions. |
Surface Treatment | RBM (Resorbable Blasting Media) for implants. Color anodization for connection (implants) and Gold anodization for prosthetic devices/screws. | Implants: RBM and color anodization. Prosthetic devices/screws: Gold anodization. This is either identical or demonstrably equivalent to predicates. |
Sterilization | Gamma Radiation for implants. Non-sterile for other components (healing caps, abutments, screws). Reprocessing sterilization for prosthetic devices/screws must be leveraged from previously cleared devices. | Implants are sterile (Gamma Radiation). Healing caps, abutments, screws are non-sterile. Reprocessing sterilization for the unsterile components was leveraged from K140440 (primary predicate), indicating the same material and design. |
Single Use | All components identified as single use. | All listed components (implants, healing caps, abutments, screws) are explicitly stated as "Yes" for Single Use. |
Fatigue Strength | Must meet ISO 14801 standards. | "Fatigue tests per ISO 14801 were performed to determine the fatigue strength for UniCon implants, according to FDA Guidance." (No specific numerical results given, but the test was performed and implies compliance). |
Pyrogen Limits | Must meet pyrogen limits specifications (e.g., USP ). | "Pyrogen limits specifications are monitored at set intervals. Test was leveraged since there is no change from previously cleared devices in K140440. The method used to make the determination that the device meets pyrogen limits specifications is based on USP ." |
MRI Safety | Assessment of magnetically induced displacement force and torque based on scientific rationale and published literature, compliant with FDA Guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment." | "Non-clinical worst-case MRI review was performed... using scientific rationale and published literature... based on the entire system including all variations... Rationale addressed parameters per the FDA Guidance... including magnetically induced displacement force and torque." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
Since this is a physical device and the primary evidence provided is non-clinical performance data (fatigue testing, material characterization, etc.) rather than a clinical study with a "test set" of patients, the concept of a sample size for a test set and data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) as it applies to AI/ML or clinical trial data isn't directly applicable here in the same way.
- Sample Size for Testing: The document states that "Fatigue tests per ISO 14801 were performed to determine the fatigue strength for UniCon implants." ISO 14801 specifies the number of samples for fatigue testing (typically 6-12 samples per group, depending on the desired confidence and methodology), but the exact number used is not explicitly stated in this summary. Other tests (biocompatibility, reprocessing, pyrogen, MRI review) were leveraged or based on scientific rationale, meaning new physical samples were likely not tested for these aspects as equivalence to previously cleared devices was the basis.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of a clinical test set for a physical device where the primary evaluation is non-clinical. The company is Noris Medical Ltd., located in Nesher, Israel.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This question is highly relevant for AI/ML devices where "ground truth" often involves expert annotation or consensus. For this physical dental implant device, ground truth is established through:
- International Standards: e.g., ISO 14801 for fatigue testing, ASTM F136 for material specifications. These standards define the "ground truth" for material properties and mechanical performance.
- Regulatory Guidance: e.g., FDA Guidance for MRI safety, USP for pyrogen limits. These guidances define the acceptable methodology and results.
- Predicate Device Characteristics: The comparison of technological characteristics to predicate devices (K140440, K142260, K130462) establishes the "ground truth" for substantial equivalence.
There is no mention of human experts defining "ground truth" in the way it's done for diagnostic image interpretation by multiple radiologists. The expertise lies within the material science, mechanical engineering, and regulatory compliance teams that designed the device and conducted/evaluated the non-clinical tests.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. There is no human interpretation or subjective assessment of a test set that would require an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1. Performance is measured against objective engineering standards and direct comparison of physical/material characteristics.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
No. An MRMC study is specific to diagnostic imaging devices, particularly those involving human interpretation of medical images, often assisted by AI. This document pertains to a physical dental implant system and therefore, this type of study was not conducted or required. No AI assistance or human reader improvement is mentioned.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was Done
Not applicable. This device is a physical dental implant system and does not involve an algorithm or AI component.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device application is primarily based on:
- Engineering Standards: Specific material properties, mechanical performance (e.g., fatigue strength as per ISO 14801), and dimensional tolerances.
- Predicate Device Characteristics: The established safety and effectiveness of the chosen predicate devices serve as the benchmark for demonstrating substantial equivalence for the new device's indications for use, materials, and design.
- Leveraged Data: For biocompatibility, reprocessing sterilization, and pyrogen limits, the "ground truth" is that the material, manufacturing, and surface treatments are identical to previously cleared devices (K151909 and K140440), therefore their established safety and performance data (ground truth) is directly applicable.
No pathology reports or patient outcomes data as "ground truth" are mentioned in this 510(k) summary, as it relies on non-clinical data for substantial equivalence.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no AI/ML component described, so there isn't a "training set" in the context of machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no AI/ML component or training set described.

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission for Ticare Dental Implant Systems. It is a regulatory document seeking to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
Therefore, the requested information cannot be fully provided as it pertains to a study demonstrating performance against acceptance criteria, which is not the primary focus of this type of regulatory submission.
However, I can extract information regarding the non-clinical testing performed to support substantial equivalence, which serves as a proxy for demonstrating that the device meets certain performance specifications.
Here's a breakdown of what can be inferred and what cannot:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
This information is not explicitly provided in a direct table format as acceptance criteria vs. specific quantitative performance values for each test. Instead, the document states that tests "met the criteria of the standards" or "demonstrated substantial equivalence."
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 explicitly stated for each individual test. The document mentions "worst-case scenario" for selection of implants/abutments for certain tests (e.g., shortest implant, largest abutments).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The tests were performed by the manufacturer, Mozo Grau, S.A., based in Spain.
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 not applicable as the document describes non-clinical bench testing, not clinical studies involving expert annotation or ground truth establishment in a medical imaging context.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable, as this is related to clinical interpretation and ground truth establishment, which did not occur in this non-clinical 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:
Not applicable. This is a non-clinical submission for a dental implant system, not an AI/software device involving human readers or comparative effectiveness studies of that nature.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/software device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
Not applicable. The "ground truth" in this context is adherence to validated engineering and material standards for dental implants.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning model.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable.
However, I can summarize the non-clinical testing performed as evidence of meeting performance expectations (implicitly serving as 'acceptance criteria' in a regulatory context for substantial equivalence):
Summary of Non-Clinical Data / Testing Performed:
The Ticare Dental Implant Systems underwent various bench tests to demonstrate conformance to performance specifications and requirements, following the FDA guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments." The results of these tests were reported to have met the criteria of the standards and demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
Non-Clinical Tests Performed (and how they relate to acceptance):
Test Category | Standard(s) / Description | Reported Performance / Outcome (Implicit Acceptance) |
---|---|---|
Mechanical / Durability | Fatigue testing: Under worst-case scenario in accordance with ISO 14801. | "met the criteria of the standards and demonstrated the substantial equivalence with the predicate device." |
Sterilization | Gamma Sterilization Validation: ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2 (for devices delivered sterile). A Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6 was validated. | "The validation took into account the worst-case scenario, and the results prove equivalence to the predicate device." |
Steam Sterilization Validation: ISO 17665-1 (for devices delivered non-sterile, e.g., abutments, for end-user sterilization). Two steam sterilizations were conducted on worst-case abutments. | "The results showed equivalence to the predicate device." | |
Shelf-Life | Shelf-life testing: ASTM F1980 (for accelerated aging of sterile barrier systems and medical devices). | "The worst-case scenario was tested, and the results demonstrated that the devices are equivalent to the predicate devices. The shelf-life is guaranteed up to 5 years, and the devices will function adequately as intended without any degradation during the shelf-life." |
Packaging Integrity | Packaging Tests: ASTM F88 (seal strength of flexible barrier materials) and ASTM F1929 (dye penetration for seal leaks). | "The results guarantee shelf life up to 5 years under transport and storage conditions during the shelf-life of and USP . Performed on worst-case product. |
Surface Characterization | SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDS (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy): To evaluate final cleaning after surface treatment. | "Implants are completely clean with no residues from the blasting processes on the implant surface, confirming the effectiveness of the cleaning process applied to Mozo Grau dental implants." |
Dimensional & Mechanical (Short Implants) | Dimensional and mechanical tests: Performed for the shortest implant (6 mm long) from Mozo Grau's system, compared to K172576. This included Bone-to-Implant Contact (BIC) under bone level and 3mm resorption conditions, insertion/removal torque, and pull-out strength. | "All test results have indicated that the subject device is less critical, having more BIC in all conditions, higher insertion and removal torque and higher pull-out forces, indicating favorable substantial equivalence." (i.e., performance met or exceeded predicate/expectations, indicating safety and effectiveness comparable to existing devices). |
MR Safety | Non-clinical worst-case MRI review: Evaluation of metallic Ticare devices in the MRI environment using scientific rationale and published literature. Rationale addressed magnetically induced displacement force and torque. | This review was performed to support the safety labeling related to MRI compatibility. (No direct "acceptance criteria met" statement, but the performance of the review supports the safe use.) |

DESS Dental Smart Solutions abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for prosthetic restorations.
All digitally designed custom abutments for use with DESS Ti Base abutments or Pre-Milled Blank abutments are to be sent to a Terrats Medical validated milling center for manufacture.
The purpose of this submission is to add components to the DESS Dental Smart Solutions system, which includes dental implants, abutments, and prosthetic components cleared previously in various submissions. The previously cleared abutments and prosthetic components are compatible with a variety of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dental implants as well as DESS Dental Smart Solutions dental implants.
This submission adds various abutments to the DESS and OEM implant lines as summarized on the following pages in Table 1 Summary of Subject Device Abutment Designs, and Table 2 Summary of Subject Device Abutment Sizes.
The subject device abutment designs include Cover Screws, Healing Abutments, Temporary Abutments, Ti Base Abutments, AURUM Base Abutments (Ti Base abutments with a screw channel design that allows easier instrument access to the abutment screw), CoCr Base Abutments, Pre-Milled Blank Abutments, Multi-Unit Abutments (straight and angled), DESSLoc Abutments (Locator-type abutments), and abutment screws.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the DESS Dental Smart Solutions, a line of endosseous dental implant abutments. It details the device's characteristics, intended use, and a comparison to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.
Based on the provided text, the device itself is a physical medical device (dental implant abutments and associated components), not a software or AI-driven system. Therefore, the questions related to AI acceptance criteria, training/test sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and ground truth establishment for AI would not be directly applicable to this product as described.
The document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices through:
- Identical Intended Use: The device is intended for "functional and esthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible or maxilla" by providing support for prosthetic restorations, which is the same as the predicate devices.
- Similar Technological Characteristics: The device utilizes similar designs, materials (Ti-6Al-4V, Co-Cr-Mo alloy), manufacturing processes, and sterilization methods as its predicates.
- Performance Data: Non-clinical testing (mechanical testing per ISO 14801, MR environment assessment) and comparison to existing data from predicate devices are used to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.
Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing AI acceptance criteria and studies are not present or applicable in this document.
However, I can extract information relevant to the device's performance assessment and criteria for its type of submission.
Here's an attempt to answer the questions based solely on the provided text, acknowledging that the nature of the device (a physical implant component) means many AI-specific questions will be answered as "Not Applicable" (N/A):
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state quantifiable "acceptance criteria" in a table format with corresponding "reported device performance" metrics for this specific 510(k) submission. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices.
The underlying "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating substantial equivalence for this device type are primarily through:
- Mechanical Testing (ISO 14801): This is a critical performance standard for dental implants and abutments. The document states that mechanical testing was "conducted according to ISO 14801 to support the performance." The acceptance criteria would be successful completion of these tests, demonstrating the device's mechanical strength and fatigue resistance are comparable to or better than predicate devices. The reported performance is simply that the tests supported the performance.
- Material Conformance: Materials must conform to specific ASTM standards (e.g., ASTM F136 for Ti-6Al-4V, ASTM F1537 for Co-Cr-Mo). The reported performance is that the materials conform to these standards.
- Biocompatibility: While not detailed in this excerpt, the mention of "biocompatibility" in relation to predicates implies conformance to relevant biocompatibility standards (e.g., ISO 10993 series). The reported performance is that it is compatible.
- Sterilization Validation: Demonstrated sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶ via validated methods (moist heat or gamma irradiation). The reported performance is that validation was performed and met this SAL.
- Dimensional Compatibility: The abutments must fit the corresponding OEM implants correctly. The reported performance is that reverse engineering dimensional analysis confirmed compatibility.
Due to the nature of the document being a 510(k) summary focusing on substantial equivalence rather than a full study report, specific numerical performance results for the device tests are not provided in this text.
2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Mechanical Testing: The document states "mechanical testing conducted according to ISO 14801." For such tests, ISO 14801 typically specifies minimum sample sizes (e.g., 10-11 samples for static strength, typically more for fatigue). The exact number of samples used for this specific submission is not explicitly stated, but it would have followed the standard's requirements.
- Data Provenance: The mechanical testing and material analyses are assumed to be "non-clinical data submitted or referenced" by the manufacturer, Terrats Medical SL, based in Barcelona, Spain. The "reverse engineering dimensional analysis" was done by Terrats Medical SL or through contractual agreement. This is prospective testing performed to support the 510(k). The document itself does not specify the country of origin for the underlying OEM implant data used for reverse engineering, although the OEM companies are listed (e.g., Astra Tech AB, BioHorizons).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
N/A. This is a physical device. Ground truth, in the context of AI, refers to validated labels for data used to train and test an algorithm. For a physical device, performance is evaluated through engineering and biocompatibility testing against defined standards. There are no "experts" establishing ground truth in the AI sense. Testing would be performed by qualified engineers and technicians.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
N/A. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies involving interpretation (e.g., by radiologists) to resolve discrepancies. This document describes non-clinical performance testing of a physical device.
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
N/A. This product is a dental implant abutment, not an AI software intended to assist human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
N/A. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
N/A. For engineering tests of physical devices, the "ground truth" is typically derived from established engineering principles, international standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for mechanical properties, ASTM for materials), and the physical properties of the materials and designs themselves. There isn't "expert consensus" or "pathology" in the AI or clinical trials sense.
8. The sample size for the training set
N/A. This is a physical device; there's no "training set" in the machine learning sense. The device is manufactured based on established engineering designs and material specifications.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
N/A. No training set for AI. For device manufacturing, the "ground truth" for design and production parameters comes from established engineering best practices, prior successful device designs (predicate devices), and adherence to quality systems regulations (21 CFR Part 820).

The subject abutments also include abutments compatible with new implant diameters in existing Medentika series (E, EV, F, and S). Lastly, the subject abutments include new abutment designs compatible with existing implant diameters in existing Medentika series (R).
This looks like a 510(k) Summary for a medical device (dental abutments), which means the document is about proving "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, not about proving clinical effectiveness or performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria in the way one might for a novel AI/software medical device.
Therefore, the information requested in your bullet points (e.g., acceptance criteria table, sample size for test set, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) is not applicable to this type of regulatory submission because the device is a mechanical one, not an AI/software device. The data presented here is focused on demonstrating physical and mechanical compatibility and equivalence to previously cleared devices.
Here's why each point is not applicable and what information is provided:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document doesn't provide a typical "acceptance criteria" table as would be seen for an AI/software device measuring diagnostic performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it relies on demonstrating that the new abutments perform similarly to existing, cleared abutments through "dynamic fatigue testing" and "dimensional analysis and reverse engineering." The performance is implicitly "accepted" if these tests show equivalence to the predicate.
-
Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): No "test set" in the context of diagnostic performance is mentioned. The "testing" refers to non-clinical, physical testing (fatigue, dimensional analysis). There is no patient data involved in this type of submission for a mechanical device.
-
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. Ground truth, in the AI/software sense, is not established for this device. The "truth" is based on engineered specifications and physical testing.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. No human adjudication of diagnostic output is relevant here.
-
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 device.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable. The "ground truth" is engineering specifications and physical measurements.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no AI/machine learning component to "train."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable for the same reason as above.
What the document does provide regarding device performance and testing:
-
Type of Testing:
- Dynamic fatigue testing according to FDA guidance and ISO 14801 (Dentistry - implants dynamic loading test for endosseous dental implants).
- Dimensional analysis and reverse engineering of the implant-to-abutment connection platform.
- Sterilization validation (steam and gamma irradiation) referenced from K191123, ISO 17665-1, ISO/TS 17665-2, ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2.
- Sterile packaging validation referenced from K191123, ISO 11607-1, ISO 11607-2.
- Biocompatibility evaluations referenced from K142167, K170838, K191123, K150203, K061804 in accordance with ISO 10993-1.
- MR testing referenced from K180564 in accordance with ASTM F2052-15, ASTM F2213-06 (2011), ASTM F2182-11a, and ASTM F2119-13.
-
Conclusion: The tests demonstrated "implant to abutment compatibility" and "established substantial equivalency of the proposed device with predicate devices." This is the "proof" that the device meets the (implicit) acceptance of being substantially equivalent to existing, legally marketed devices.
In summary, this document is for a traditional mechanical medical device, and the regulatory pathway does not involve performance studies in the way you've outlined for AI/software-based devices.
