    Intended Use

    IPD Dental Implant Abutments are intended to be used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandibular arch to provide support for single or multiple dental prosthetic restorations.

    Device Description

    IPD Dental Implant Abutments is a dental implant abutment system composed of dental abutments, screws, as well as other dental abutment accessories, intended to be placed into dental implants to provide support for dental prosthetic restorations.

    Abutments provide basis for single or multiple tooth prosthetic restorations. They are available in a variety of connection types to enable compatibility with commercially available dental implants systems.

    IPD Dental Implant Abutments includes the following categories of dental abutment designs:

    • Titanium base (Interface) abutments (INC3D);
    • Multi-Unit abutments (MUA);
    • Overdenture Abutments (PSD);
    • Temporary Abutments (PP);
    • Healing Abutments (TC).

    The system also includes the use of the corresponding screws intended to attach the prosthesis to the dental implant. Specifically:

    • Ti Screw (TT): Used during restoration fabrication.
    • TiN Screw (TTN): Used in finished restorations, with TiN coating.
    • TPA Screw (TPA): Used in finished angulated restorations, with TiN coating.

    The metallic components of the subject abutments and screws are made of titanium alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3 "Implant for surgery – Metallic materials – Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminium 4-vanadium alloy".

    The purpose of this submission is to expand IPD Dental Implant Abutments offerings with:
    • New IPD's compatible dental implant systems,
    • New angulations available abutment-category specific.
    • New in-house TiN coating.

    IPD dental implant abutments and screws are compatible with the following commercially available dental implant systems:
    (Table 2. Summary of IPD abutments categories with compatibilized OEM Implant/Abutment Systems with specific reference to maximum angulation specifically included in this submission. provided in original text)

    Ti Base (Interface) abutments are attached (screw-retained) to the implant/abutment and cemented to the zirconia superstructure.

    The Ti Base is a two-piece abutment composed of the titanium component, as the bottom-half, and the zirconia superstructure, as the top-half. It consists of a pre-manufactured prosthetic component in Titanium alloy per ISO 5832-3, as well as the supporting digital library file for FDA-cleared design software (3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software, cleared under K151455) which enables the design of a patient-specific superstructure by the laboratory/clinician and which will be manufactured in FDA-cleared Zirconia (e.g., DD Bio Z, K142987) according to digital dentistry workflow at the point of care, or at a dental laboratory.

    The design and fabrication of the zirconia superstructure for Ti Base (Interface) will be conducted using a digital dentistry workflow requiring the use of the following equipment, software and materials:
    Scanner: 3D Scanner D850.
    Design Software: 3Shape Abutment Designer Software, K151455.
    Zirconia Material: DD Bio Z, K142987.
    Milling machine/Brand: Dental Concept System Model: DC1 Milling System.
    Cement: Multilink® Automix, K123397.

    Ti Base (Interface) abutment design parameters for the zirconia superstructure are defined as follows:
    Minimum gingival height: 1.5 mm
    Minimum wall thickness: 0.43 mm
    Minimum post height for single-unit restorations: 4.75 mm (1)
    Maximum gingival height: 6.0 mm
    Maximum angulation of the final abutment 30° (2)

    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.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to IPD Dental Implant Abutments, a medical device, not an AI/ML-driven software product. Therefore, the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and study data for an AI/ML device (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, expert ground truthing, MRMC studies, standalone performance) is not applicable to this document.

    The document describes the device, its intended use, comparison to predicate devices, and the non-clinical performance testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. These tests are physical and chemical in nature, not related to the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

    Here's a breakdown of why an AI/ML-focused response is not possible, based on the provided text:

    • Device Type: The device is "IPD Dental Implant Abutments," which are physical components used in dentistry (titanium alloy abutments, screws, designed for zirconia superstructures). It is not software, a diagnostic imaging tool, or an AI/ML algorithm.
    • Purpose of Submission: The submission aims to expand compatibility with new dental implant systems and include new angulations and in-house TiN coating. This is a modification of a physical medical device, not a new AI/ML development.
    • Performance Data (Section VII): This section explicitly lists non-clinical performance testing such as:
      • Sterilization validation (ISO 17665-1)
      • Biocompatibility testing (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation per ISO 10993)
      • Reverse engineering and dimensional analysis for compatibility
      • Validation of the digital workflow and software system (but this refers to the CAD/CAM software used to design the physical abutments, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool)
      • Static and dynamic fatigue testing (ISO 14801)
      • Modified Surfaces Information
      • MRI safety review

    Conclusion:

    The provided document describes a 510(k) clearance for a physical dental implant component. It does not contain any information about the acceptance criteria or study design for an AI/ML driven medical device. Therefore, a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to AI/ML, sample sizes for test/training sets, details on expert ground truthing, MRMC studies, or standalone performance of an algorithm cannot be extracted from this text.

Each abutment is supplied with the non-sterile abutment screw designed for attachment to the corresponding compatible OEM implant.

    All patient-specific abutment fabrication for all MIST IC abutments is by prescription on the order of the clinician. All MIST IC abutments are intended to be milled at an Imagine Milling Technologies, LLC validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations.

    MIST IC L-LINK abutments are two-piece abutments to be used as a base when fabricating a CAD-CAM customized restoration where the superstructure produced will compose the second part of the two-piece abutment; the assembly becoming a final finished medical device after cementation on the subject device abutment. They are provided with engaging and non-engaging connections.

    The L-LINK abutments and corresponding zirconia superstructure are provided to the clinician either with the superstructure cemented to the abutment by the dental laboratory, or separately for the clinician to bond together chairside using the cement required in the labeling (RelyX RMGIP bonding cement, cleared in K022476).

    The design parameters for L-LINK patient-specific abutments are:

    • Minimum wall thickness – 0.5 mm
    • Minimum cementable post height for single-unit restoration – 4.0 (minimum cementable post height for single-unit restoration is defined as the height above the restorative margin)
    • Minimum gingival height – 0.5 mm
    • Maximum gingival height (for all except Straumann BLX L-Link) – 5.0 mm
    • Maximum gingival height (for Straumann BLX L-LINK) – 6.0 mm
    • Maximum angle – 20°

    All zirconia copings (superstructures) for use with the subject device MIST IC L-LINK abutments will conform to ISO 13356.

    All digitally designed custom abutments for use with Dynamic TiBase abutments are to be sent to a Talladium Medical validated milling center for manufacture.

    Device Description

    Dynamic TiBase abutments are two-piece abutments composed of a CAD-CAM fabricated zirconia superstructure and a prefabricated titanium base component where the final two-piece abutment (base and cemented superstructure) is the finished device used for the prosthetic restoration. All subject device bases are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136. The Dynamic TiBase abutments are provided in engaging and non-engaging designs for single-unit and multi-unit restorations, respectively.

    For each of the compatible OEM implant lines, the prefabricated titanium base components are provided with a gingival height (in the titanium base) ranging from 0.3 mm to 4 mm, and a platform diameter ranging from 4.30 mm to 5.50 mm. Angulation and additional gingival height may be provided in the zirconia superstructure. All Dynamic TiBase prefabricated titanium base components have a post with a cut-out to accommodate a restoration with an angled channel for screw access when clinically necessary. The post height of the prefabricated titanium base component ranges from 3.8 mm to 5.40 mm, and from 2.3 mm to 3.8 mm (cut-out height). The cementable post height of the final patient-matched abutment design, measured above the total combined gingival collar, shall be no less than 4 mm.

    All zirconia superstructures (copings) used to complete the final two-piece subject device Dynamic TiBase abutment will be made at a Talladium España, SL validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations, and the material will conform to ISO 13356.

    The design parameters for the CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure for the Dynamic TiBase vary slightly among the compatible OEM implants. The design parameters for the CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure are summarized in the following table:

    Implant Compatibility (1)Minimum Wall Thickness, mmMaximum Gingival Height, mmMinimum Gingival Height (2), mmMaximum Angulation

    (1) for the compatible sizes shown in Table 1
    (2) minimum gingival height in the titanium base, not the zirconia superstructure

    The required cement for bonding the zirconia superstructure to the Dynamic TiBases to create the final two-piece abutment is Nova Resin Cement cleared in K213609.

    Also, the subject of this submission are seven (7) abutment screws for use with the subject abutments.

    AI/ML Overview

    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:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Provided above, adapted for a physical medical device.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    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 for AI-assisted diagnostic devices.
    6. 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.
    7. 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.
    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.
    9. 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.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for DESS Dental Smart Solutions focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for dental implant abutments. It primarily addresses the expansion of compatible materials, scanners, CAM software, and milling machines within an existing digital dentistry workflow. The document does not describe an AI/ML-based device that would typically have acceptance criteria related to diagnostic performance.

    Therefore, many of the requested items related to AI/ML device performance (like acceptance criteria for diagnostic metrics, sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details) are not applicable to this submission.

    The acceptance criteria and supporting "study" (non-clinical data) for this device are related to its mechanical performance, biocompatibility, and integration within the digital workflow, demonstrating that the expanded components maintain the safety and effectiveness of the previously cleared predicate devices.

    Here's a breakdown based on the information provided and the non-applicability of AI/ML-specific questions:

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

    Since this is not an AI/ML diagnostic device, the acceptance criteria are not in terms of traditional diagnostic metrics (sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, they are related to material properties, mechanical integrity, and the digital workflow's accuracy.

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (Summary from Submission)
    Mechanical Integrity / Compatibility- Fatigue testing of OEM implant bodies with patient-specific abutments made at worst-case angled conditions. (Implies successful completion to similar or better standards than predicate.)
    Biocompatibility- Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-12. (Implies successful demonstration of biocompatibility.)
    Sterilization- Sterilization validation according to ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, and ISO 14937. (Implies successful validation for sterilization.)
    CAD Design Restrictions- Software verification included testing of restrictions that prevent design of components outside of the stated design parameters.
    • Abutment design library validated to demonstrate established design limitations are locked and cannot be modified by the user. (Implies successful implementation and verification of design constraints.) |
      | 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.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) clearance letter and summary describe a medical device, Medentika CAD/CAM Abutments, and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on non-clinical performance data. The document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or performance data for an AI/ML-based device, nor does it detail a clinical study involving human readers or expert consensus for ground truth.

    Therefore, for the information requested in your prompt, I can only extract what is presented in the document, which pertains to the non-AI aspects of device acceptance and testing. Many of the points specifically refer to AI/MRMC studies, which are not applicable to this document.

    Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

    Device Description and Purpose:
    The device is "Medentika CAD/CAM Abutments," which are dental implant abutments. The primary purpose of this submission is to expand the fabrication options for patient-specific final abutments from a "validated milling center" to a "digital dentistry workflow" that integrates CAD/CAM software and milling machines. It also adds new sizes and OEM compatibilities.

    Study Type:
    This is a pre-market notification (510(k)) submission seeking substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices. It relies heavily on non-clinical performance data to demonstrate that the new manufacturing workflow and expanded compatibilities do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.


    Analysis of Requested Information (based on the provided document):

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

    The document outlines various performance tests conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence, but it does not explicitly present a "table of acceptance criteria" with corresponding "reported device performance." Instead, it states that the tests demonstrate sufficient strength or ensure accuracy and reliability.

    Here's a summary of the performance tests and their implied purpose:

    Performance Test CategoryPurpose / Implied Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance (Summary)
    Biocompatibility TestingTo ensure the device materials (titanium alloy, zirconia, cement) are safe for use in the human body."Biocompatibility testing of final finished devices... according to ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, and ISO 10993-12" was provided. Implied: The device passed these tests.
    Mechanical Testing (ISO 14801)To demonstrate that the abutments, including zirconia and cement, in combination with compatible implants, have sufficient strength for intended use."Mechanical testing conducted according to ISO 14801... to demonstrate that the subject Medentika CAD/CAM Abutments... have sufficient strength for the intended use" was provided. Implied: The device demonstrated sufficient strength.
    Reverse Engineering Dimensional AnalysisFor new OEM compatibilities, to show that the subject device abutments are compatible with the respective OEM implants."Reverse engineering dimensional analysis for the OEM compatibilities... to demonstrate that the subject device abutments are compatible with the respective OEM implants" was provided. Implied: Compatibility was demonstrated.
    CAD Software ValidationTo demonstrate that maximum and minimum design parameters for the subject devices are locked into the design software and available libraries."Validation of CAD software to demonstrate that the maximum and minimum design parameters... are locked into the design software and available libraries" was provided. Implied: Software validation confirmed design parameter locking.
    CAM Software & Milling Machine ValidationTo ensure the accuracy and reliability of the milling process (verified NC file imports, milling tools, materials, milling strategies, post-processing)."Validation of CAM software and milling machines to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the milling process" was provided. Implied: Accuracy and reliability were confirmed.
    CAM Restriction Zones ValidationTo show avoidance of damage or modification of the connection geometry and locking of restriction zones from user editing in the CAM software."Validation testing of CAM restriction zones to show avoidance of damage or modification of the connection geometry and locking of restriction zones..." was provided. Implied: Restriction zones prevent damage.
    MR Environment AnalysisTo evaluate device compatibility in a Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment."Non-clinical analysis and testing to evaluate the metallic subject devices and compatible dental implants in the MR environment" was referenced from K180564. Implied: Device is compatible or safe in MR environment.
    Sterilization ValidationTo ensure non-sterile devices can be sterilized by the end-user to a specific sterility assurance level."Moist heat sterilization for subject devices provided non-sterile to the end user, validated to a sterility assurance level of 10-6 by the overkill method according to ISO 17665-1 and ISO TR 17665-2" was referenced. Implied: Sterilization method is effective.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify numerical sample sizes for any of the non-clinical tests (e.g., how many abutments were mechanically tested, how many software validation tests were run). It simply states that "testing was conducted" or "validation was performed."
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. Given the nature of pre-market non-clinical testing for medical devices, these are typically prospective laboratory tests conducted by the manufacturer or accredited testing facilities. The manufacturer is Medentika® GmbH (Huegelsheim, Germany), suggesting the testing likely occurred in Germany or at internationally recognized labs.

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

    This information is not applicable to the provided document. The ground truth for this device is established through engineering specifications, material standards (e.g., ASTM F136), and validated manufacturing processes, not through human expert consensus on diagnostic images.

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

    This information is not applicable to the provided document, as it describes non-clinical engineering and manufacturing validation, not a multi-reader clinical study for AI.

    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 information is not applicable to the provided document. This device is a physical dental abutment and its associated CAD/CAM workflow, not an AI-based diagnostic tool that would require human reader studies. The document explicitly states: "No clinical data were included in this submission."

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

    This information is not applicable to the provided document. While the device utilizes CAD/CAM software and milling machines, it is a physical product manufactured through a workflow, not a standalone AI algorithm whose performance needs to be assessed in isolation. The software functions as a design and manufacturing aid, not a diagnostic or decision-making algorithm.

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

    The "ground truth" in this context refers to established engineering and material standards:

    • Standards Compliance: Adherence to ISO standards (e.g., ISO 14801 for mechanical strength, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ISO 17665 for sterilization).
    • Dimensional Accuracy: Verification against established design parameters and compatibility specifications for dental implants (e.g., OEM implant body and abutment dimensions).
    • Material Specifications: Conformance to ASTM F136 for titanium alloy and specifications for zirconia and cement.
    • Software Design Parameters: The "ground truth" for the CAD software validation is the pre-defined maximum and minimum design parameters that the software must enforce.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    This information is not applicable to the provided document. The "device" in question is a physical dental abutment and its manufacturing workflow, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set. The CAD/CAM software itself is validated, not "trained" on a dataset in the AI sense.

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

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

The document does not explicitly state the results (e.g., "MR Safe" or "MR Compatible"), but implies that the analysis was sufficient to support safety in the MR environment based on the scientific rationale and literature used.

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

    The provided document does not specify the exact sample sizes for each individual non-clinical test (e.g., number of abutments tested for dynamic fatigue, retention force, simulated use, or cleaning). It refers to the testing as "non-clinical" bench testing.

    • 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).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic, which is an endosseous dental implant abutment. It details the device's technical characteristics and compares it to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence, rather than describing a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria for a new and novel performance claim.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories for acceptance criteria and study details are not directly applicable or available in this type of submission. The information provided primarily focuses on demonstrating equivalence through comparison to existing legally marketed devices, material properties, and standard performance tests for similar devices.

    However, I can extract the relevant information that is available from the document for each type of device within the ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic family: Pre-Milled Blank, Ti Base, Multi-Unit Abutment, Multi-Unit Healing Cap, Multi-Unit Temporary Cylinder, and Multi-Unit Ti-Cylinder.


    General Information on Acceptance Criteria and Studies for ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic (as inferred from the 510(k) Summary):

    The ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is claiming substantial equivalence to predicate devices, meaning it does not need to establish new performance criteria but rather demonstrate that it is as safe and effective as existing legally marketed devices. The "acceptance criteria" here are largely implied by the performance of the predicate devices and the relevant ISO standards for dental implant abutments. The studies performed are non-clinical bench tests.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Comparison) and Reported Device Performance:

    The document presents comparisons to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence rather than explicit acceptance criteria and corresponding performance metrics for novel claims. However, the design limits of the subject devices are compared to the design limits of the predicate devices, which act as de facto acceptance criteria in the context of substantial equivalence. The device's performance is demonstrated by meeting the standards in non-clinical testing.

    Here's a generalized table summarizing this approach:

Diameter is "slightly big," gingival height "slightly different," angles "within the predicate device's range." (Page 18)
    SterilityNon-sterile (Predicate)Non-sterile (All subject devices)
    Indications for Use / Intended UseSimilar to predicate devicesALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is intended for use with dental implants as a support for single or multiple-unit prosthetic restorations in the maxilla or mandible of partially or fully edentulous patients, including cemented-retained, screw-retained, or overdenture restorations. Compatible with various specific implant systems. (Pages 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

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

    • Test Set Sample Size:
      • The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for the non-clinical bench tests (fatigue, sterilization, biocompatibility, or dimensional analysis). It only states that tests were performed "for the subject device" and "of the worst-case scenario through fatigue testing."
    • Data Provenance:
      • The 510(k) submission is from ALLONUS Tech Co., LTD. in the REPUBLIC OF KOREA. This implies the testing was likely conducted in or overseen by this entity.
      • The studies were non-clinical bench tests, not clinical studies involving human patients. Therefore, terms like "retrospective" or "prospective" clinical dataProvenance are not applicable here.

    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 510(k) Summary. For non-clinical bench testing, "ground truth" is typically established by recognized international standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM) and engineering principles, rather than expert consensus on clinical cases.
    • The document mentions "Dimensional analysis and reverse engineering... were performed" and "assessment of maximum and minimum dimensions... along with cross-sectional images." This suggests engineering expertise, but specific numbers or qualifications of experts are not stated.

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

    • This is not applicable as the studies were non-clinical bench tests. Adjudication methods like 2+1 (two readers plus one adjudicator) are used in clinical studies, particularly for diagnostic imaging, to resolve discrepancies in expert interpretations of patient data.

    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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study (MRMC) is relevant for diagnostic AI devices that assist human interpretation of medical images or data. The ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is a physical medical device (dental implant abutment), not an AI diagnostic tool.

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

    • No, a standalone (algorithm-only) performance study was not done. This question is also typically relevant for AI/software as a medical device (SaMD). The ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is a physical device that integrates with human dental procedures.

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

    • For the non-clinical tests (fatigue, sterilization, biocompatibility), the "ground truth" is adherence to recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM) and established engineering specifications.
    • For implant-to-abutment compatibility, the "ground truth" was based on dimensional analysis and reverse engineering of OEM implant bodies, abutments, and screws, comparing the subject device's design to established OEM specifications.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • This is not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning algorithms. The ALLONUS Tech Prosthetic is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm.

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

    • This is not applicable as there is no training set for a physical medical device.

    Intended Use

    Straumann® Anatomic Healing Abutments are indicated to be placed in partially edentulous patients after implant placement. The healing components protect the inner configuration of the implant and form, maintain and stabilize the soft tissue during the healing process. Healing components have a maximum duration of usage of 180 days.

    Device Description

    The Straumann Anatomic Healing Abutments XC (referred to as the AHAs) are intended for use with the Straumann Dental Implant System (SDIS). The healing components protect the inner configuration of the implant and form, maintain, and stabilize the soft tissue during the osseointegration phase of Straumann endosseous dental implants to be rehabilitated using the delayed loading technique. The AHA are to be used during the implant placement surgery or in the reopening surgery (second surgical phase) and are for temporary use up to 180 days. The AHAs are to be placed out of occlusion. The healing abutments do not support a prosthetic restoration.

    The AHAs are composed of two united parts: a body that allows for customization and includes a through hole for fixation screw access, and a basal screw that cannot be altered. The Anatomic Healing Abutments are intended to be customized using only hand milling instruments manually controlled by dental professionals. To protect the consistent emergence profile for final abutment, a maximum 3mm height can be modified down to the occlusal surface. To preserve the scanning function of AHA, a 4.7mm circular area around the central axis of the screw channel cannot be modified. The body is milled from polyetheretherketone (PEEK Classix). The basal screws are existing basal screws manufactured from Titanium-Aluminum-Niobium (TAN) alloy previously cleared as part of the Straumann BLX system in K173961.

    The AHA are designed for connection to BLC and BLX implants of the Straumann Dental Implant System (K173961, K181703, K191256, K210855, K212533, K230108, and K234049). The AHA are available in diameters of Ø3.8 mm, 4.5mm, 5.5mm, and 6.5mm. They are available in 4 shapes designed according to specific areas of the dentition including S, S1, M, and XL, however, they are not limited to use exclusively in these positions. The AHA are offered in regular base (RB) and wide base (WB) configurations consistent with the Straumann BLX and BLC prosthetic platform offerings.

    The AHAs may also be used in intraoral scanning procedures of single-unit restorations to represent the position, axis, and orientation of the dental implant placed in the patient's jaw relative to the surrounding dentition. A scanbody feature extends from the occlusal surface of the AHA.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Straumann Anatomic Healing Abutments XC (AHA). It describes the device, its intended use, and compares it to predicate devices. However, this document does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria or a study designed to prove the device meets specific performance criteria in the format typically used for AI/software-based medical devices.

    Instead, this 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices through comparisons of technological characteristics, intended use, and various performance tests (sterilization, shelf life, biocompatibility, torque, and basic software verification) that confirm the new device functions as expected for a medical device of its class, rather than proving specific numerical performance metrics against defined acceptance criteria in a clinical setting.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer many of the questions as the information is not present in the provided text.

    Here is what can be extracted and inferred from the document:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    As mentioned, explicit, quantifiable acceptance criteria with corresponding performance results are not provided in the document for the device itself (Straumann® Anatomic Healing Abutments XC). The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through various tests rather than meeting numerical performance thresholds for image analysis or diagnostic accuracy.

    The performance tests mentioned are:

    • Sterilization Validation and Shelf Life:
      • Acceptance Criteria (inferred): Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6 for gamma irradiation and successful steam sterilization validation. Packaging stability for a 5-year shelf life.
      • Reported Performance: Met SAL of 10^-6 using VDmax25 in accordance with ISO 11137-1:2006. Steam sterilization validation met all test method acceptance criteria. Packaging stability for the 5-year shelf life of predicate devices was adopted.
    • Pyrogen Testing (LAL test):
      • Acceptance Criteria (inferred): Pyrogen limit specification of 20 endotoxin units (EU)/device.
      • Reported Performance: Met the specified limit.
    • Biocompatibility Testing:
      • Acceptance Criteria (inferred): No cytotoxic reaction, no extractable substances above Analytical Evaluation Threshold (AET).
      • Reported Performance: No cytotoxic reaction detected. No extractable substances detected above AET.
    • Performance Testing - Bench (Torque Testing):
      • Acceptance Criteria (inferred): Withstands repeated insertion and removal torques without damage.
      • Reported Performance: Performed, demonstrating the AHA withstands repeated insertion and removal torques without damage. (Specific numerical thresholds not provided).
    • Software Testing (Scan Verification and Integration):
      • Acceptance Criteria (inferred): Can be scanned with an intraoral scanner and is suitable to work with CARES Visual software.
      • Reported Performance: Performed, demonstrating the subject AHAs can be scanned with an intraoral scanner and are suitable to work with CARES Visual software. (No specific metrics provided).

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

    • The document describes engineering tests (sterilization validation, mechanical torque testing, biocompatibility, software verification) rather than a clinical study with a "test set" of patient data. Therefore, this information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) for a physical device.

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

    • Not applicable as this is not a study involving expert-derived ground truth on a clinical dataset for AI/software performance.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    • Not applicable.

    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 physical medical device (healing abutment), not an AI/software for diagnostic assistance.

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

    • Not applicable.

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

    • For the engineering tests:
      • Sterilization/Pyrogenicity: Laboratory test results against validated standards and specified limits.
      • Biocompatibility: Laboratory test results against ISO standards and AET.
      • Torque Testing: Mechanical testing results against functional requirements (withstanding torque without damage).
      • Software Testing: Functional verification (can be scanned, works with software).

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable, as this is a physical device and not an AI/ML model that requires a "training set."

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

    • Not applicable.

    Summary of what the document implies about meeting criteria:

    The document asserts that the Straumann® Anatomic Healing Abutments XC (AHA) meet the necessary performance criteria through a series of benchtop engineering tests and validations designed to demonstrate:

    • Effective sterilization (gamma irradiation and steam sterilization).
    • Pyrogenicity within acceptable limits.
    • Biocompatibility of the materials.
    • Mechanical integrity (torque resistance).
    • Compatibility with intraoral scanning and associated software.

    The primary "study" presented is a comparison to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence based on similar technological characteristics and performance testing. The "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met by successful completion of these validation tests against established industry standards (e.g., ISO) and functional requirements, rather than through a clinical study with statistical performance metrics against a defined ground truth.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the submission of a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Elos Accurate® Hybrid Base™" and "Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment" dental devices. The purpose of this submission is to demonstrate that these devices are substantially equivalent to previously marketed predicate devices. The document details the indications for use, product descriptions, a comparison of technological characteristics with predicate devices, and a summary of non-clinical testing.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving device conformity:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria & Reported Device Performance

    The acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated with numerical targets in the document. Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The "reported device performance" is primarily presented as the devices meeting the same or similar functional and safety standards as the predicate devices, with specific validations for expanded compatibility and design workflows.

    The "Element of Comparison" table acts as a de facto set of acceptance criteria, where the subject device's characteristics are compared against the predicate devices, and "Substantial equivalent" is the reported "performance."

    Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Predicate Equivalence)Reported Device Performance
    Intended Use: Support of a prosthesis to restore chewing functionSubstantial equivalent (Same as predicate)
    Abutment Designs:
    Elos Accurate® Customized Abutment: 1 piece - abutment mounted on implant, fixed with screwSubstantial equivalent (Same as predicate)

    Hybrid Base: Abutment: Anodized; Screw: Non-coatedThe surface of the Subject Abutment & screw is substantial equivalent to Primary Predicate Device K230317. Mechanical performance is demonstrated in fatigue testing (Note: Predicate K230317 also mentions "non-coated, Medicarb coated" for the screw, which is partially different but deemed equivalent due to testing).
    Design Workflow: 3Shape scanner, 3Shape Abutment Designer Software (K151455)Substantial equivalent (Same as predicate). New digital libraries were validated as part of the subject submission, including: Scanner (3Shape >10um accuracy), Design library file (DME-file) with built-in limits, Design Software (3Shape Abutment Designer K151455). Testing of design limits conducted to show avoidance of designing outside specified limits.
    Manufacturing Workflow: CORITEC milling unit (imes-icore)Substantial equivalent (Same as predicate).

    Operating principle: Connect dental implant to prosthetic crown/bridgeSubstantial equivalent (Same as predicate).

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

    The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of an AI/human performance study. Instead, the testing described is primarily engineering and material characterization:

    • Fatigue testing per ISO 14801: This testing involves multiple samples to assess mechanical durability. While the exact number of samples isn't given, standard ISO 14801 typically requires a significant number of samples tested to failure or for a specified number of cycles.
    • Biocompatibility testing for cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5): This testing would use biological samples or cell lines. The document states it's leveraged from previously cleared products (K230317/K231317) on "identically manufactured abutments and prosthetic screws manufactured from the same material."
    • Sterilization validation (ISO 17665-1 & ISO 17665-2): Involves using Biological Indicators (BIs) or other validation methods, typically multiple cycles and samples. Leveraged from K230317/K231317.
    • MRI Conditional Safety Evaluations (ASTM F2052, ASTM F2119, ASTM F2213, ASTM F2182): A "worst-case assembly" was tested, implying at least one, but possibly multiple, physical assemblies to cover various MRI conditions. Leveraged from K230317/K231317.
    • Digital dentistry workflow validation: Conducted on "selected model of subject product lines," implying a representative set of designs.

    Data Provenance: The data comes from non-clinical testing performed by the manufacturer (or leveraged from prior submissions by the same manufacturer, Elos Medtech Pinol A/S). The origin is Denmark (company location). The testing is prospective for the current submission but leverages retrospective data from previous clearances.

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

    This information is not applicable to this submission. The device is a physical dental abutment, not an AI/diagnostic device that generates an output requiring expert interpretation for ground truth establishment. The "ground truth" for this device relates to its physical, mechanical, and biological properties, which are established through standardized engineering and laboratory tests, not expert consensus on diagnostic images.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    This is not applicable as there is no test set involving expert interpretation or a diagnostic outcome that would require 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

    This is not applicable as the device is a physical dental abutment, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool or software.

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

    This is not applicable as the device is a physical dental abutment. The "digital dentistry workflow" involves software (3Shape Abutment Designer Software) but this is used for design and manufacturing, not for standalone diagnostic performance assessment.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The "ground truth" for this engineering-focused submission is established through:

    • Engineering and dimensional analysis: Measurements and specifications of various components (abutments, implants, screws).
    • Mechanical testing: Fatigue testing per ISO 14801 to assess durability and strength under simulated physiological loading.
    • Biocompatibility testing: Standardized testing (ISO 10993-5) to confirm non-cytotoxicity.
    • Sterilization validation: Standardized testing (ISO 17665-1 & ISO 17665-2) to confirm sterility.
    • MRI compatibility testing: Standardized testing (ASTM F2052, ASTM F2119, ASTM F2213, ASTM F2182) to confirm MR conditional status.
    • Design software validation: Testing that the software (3Shape Abutment Designer) adheres to "built-in design limitations" and prevents users from exceeding them.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This is not applicable. The submission is not for an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set. The descriptions of "design limitations" and "digital dentistry workflow validation" refer to the validation of software and manufacturing processes, not the training of an algorithm in the machine learning sense.

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

    This is not applicable as there is no training set for the reasons outlined above. The "design limits" mentioned for the digital dentistry workflow are predefined by Elos Medtech based on engineering principles and safety considerations for dental prosthetics.

    Intended 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.

    Device Description

    The purpose of this submission is to expand the DESS Dental Smart Solutions abutment system cleared under K221301 to add the ability for the subject device Base Abutments and Pre-milled (Blank) Abutments to be designed using AbutmentCAD software in the digital dentistry workflow, as well as add angulation to some of the Pre-Milled (Blank) Abutments. The subject devices are to Terrats Medical validated milling centers for manufacture, or to be designed and manufactured via a digital dentistry workflow. The digital dentistry workflow integrates multiple components: scan files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD software, CAM software, titanium and ceramic material, milling machine, and associated tooling and accessories. The proposed change is to allow the subject devices to be designed using AbutmentCAD by exocad GmbH, the current workflow allows only the use of 3Shape by 3Shape A/S for the design software. Another purpose of this submission is to expand the design parameters to allow angulation (up to 30°) on Pre-milled (Blank) Abutments that are compatible with Neodent Grand Morse, Nobel Active/Nobel Parallel Conical 3.0 mm, and Straumann BLX implants. There are no changes to the abutment design or implant compatibilities. All part numbers have been cleared for manufacturing via a validated milling center and digital dentistry workflows in under K221301.

    The subject device DESS Dental Solutions abutments provide a range of prosthetic solutions for dental implant restoration. DESS abutments are offered in a variety of connection types to enable compatibility with currently marketed dental implants. All abutments are provided non-sterile, and each abutment is supplied with the appropriate abutment screw (if applicable) for attachment to the corresponding implant.

    Subject device Base Abutments are designed for fabrication of a patient-specific CAD/CAM zirconia superstructure on which a crown may be placed. They are two-piece abutments for which the second part (or top half) is the ceramic superstructure. They also may be used for support of a crown directly on the abutment.

    All patient-specific custom abutment fabrication for Base Abutments and Pre-milled (Blank) Abutments is by prescription on the order of the clinician. The subject device Pre-milled (Blank) Abutments and all zirconia superstructures for use with the subject device Ti Base Interface, DESS Aurum Base, ELLIPTIBase, and DESS C-Base will be manufactured using a validated milling center or a digital dentistry workflow. A validated milling center will be under FDA quality system regulations. The digital dentistry workflow scans files from intra-oral and lab (desktop) scanners, CAD software, titanium and ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories.

    AI/ML Overview

    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:

    1. Sterilization validation: According to ISO 17665-1, ISO 17665-2, and ISO 14937.
    2. Biocompatibility testing: According to ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-12.
    3. 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.
    4. MR Conditional labeling.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.
