The intended use of PerioGlas is to provide a safe, biocompatible synthetic bone graft material for use in oral, dental intraosseous, and craniofacial defects. It is used alone in a manner comparable to autogenous bone graft chips or allograft bone particulate (Demineralized Freeze Dried Bone) or may be mixed with either (typically 1:1 ratio v/v) as a bone graft extender. Typical uses include: - Periodontal/Infrabony defects - Ridge Augmentation (sinusotomy, osteotomy, cystectomy) - Extraction sites (ridge maintenance/augmentation, implant preparation/ placement) - Sinus lifts - Cystic cavities - Cranio-facial augmentation For larger defects, a mixture of PerioGlas® with an equal volume of allograft or autograft bone and bone marrow may improve new bone formation.
Device Story
PerioGlas is a synthetic, resorbable, osteoconductive bone void filler composed of 45S5 bioactive glass particulate. Supplied sterile; mixed at point-of-care with sterile water, saline, patient blood/marrow, or autogenous/allograft bone to form a wet paste. Applied by clinicians into bony defects during oral, dental, or craniofacial surgical procedures. Acts as a non-structural scaffold; progressively resorbed and replaced by new bone tissue. Device exhibits osteostimulative properties, promoting osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Used by surgeons/dentists to facilitate bone regeneration in defects; benefits patient by providing a biocompatible alternative to autogenous or allograft bone.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical trials presented. Evidence consists of in vivo study data supporting superior rate of osteoconduction and bone formation compared to hydroxyapatite devices, and in vitro osteoblast cell culture studies demonstrating osteostimulative effects (increased DNA content, elevated osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase levels).
Technological Characteristics
Single-phase bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass) particulate. Osteoconductive, synthetic, inorganic, biocompatible material. Non-structural scaffold. Supplied sterile. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for packing into bony voids or gaps to fill/augment oral, dental intraosseous, and craniofacial defects, including periodontal/infrabony defects, alveolar ridge augmentation, dental extraction sites, sinus lifts, cystic defects, and craniofacial augmentation. No specific age or gender contraindications listed beyond standard surgical/anesthesia risks.

#### Device Description 4.
PerioGlas is a one-component resorbable bone void filler composed of a synthetic calcium phospho-silicate (Bioglass) particulate designed specifically for its absorbability and osteoconductive nature. The device is intended for dental intraosseous, oral, and cranio-/maxillofacial bony defects. It is supplied sterile. At time of use, the device is mixed with sterile water, saline, the patient's own blood or marrow, or with autogenous or allograft bone to form a wet sandy paste that is applied to the defect. PerioGlas is progressively resorbed and replaced by new bone tissue during the healing process.
#### ડ. Intended Use
PerioGlas is indicated to be packed into bony voids or gaps to fill and/or augment oral, dental intraosseous, and craniofacial defects. These defects may include: periodontal/infrabony defects; alveolar ridge augmentation (sinusotomy, osteotomy, cystectomy); dental extraction sites (ridge maintenance, implant

preparation/placement); sinus lifts; cystic defects; craniofacial augmentation. PerioGlas may be used alone in a manner comparable to autogenous bone graft chips or allograft bone particulate (demineralized freeze dried bone), or it may be mixed with either as a bone graft extender.
### Technological Characteristics 6.
The device is designed as an osteoconductive space-filling particulate device to be gently packed into defect sites and used as a non-structural scaffold for the body's natural healing and bone regeneration process. The device acts as a particulate, synthetic, inorganic, biocompatible and osteoconductive material.
PerioGlas is a single-phase bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass) particulate device. No changes to the device or its indications have been made with this submission. The purpose of this premarket notification is to expand the product claims to cover the claim of the device being osteostimulative. After implantation, surface reactions result in the absorption of the device material and concurrent new bone tissue formation. These surface reactions result in an osteostimulative affect, defined as the stimulation of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation during in vitro osteoblast cell culture studies as evidenced by increased DNA content and elevated osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase levels.
#### 7. Complications
No modifications have been made to the PerioGlas device. Possible complications are the same as to be expected of autogenous bone grafting procedures. These may include: superficial wound infection, deep wound infection, deep wound infection with osteomyelitis, delayed union, loss of reduction, failure of fusion, loss of bone graft, graft protrusion and / or dislodgement, and general complications that may arise from anesthesia and / or surgery. Complications specific to oral/dental use are those as may be typically observed for similar bone grafting procedures and may include: tooth sensitivity, gingival recession, flap sloughing, resorption or ankylosis of the treated root, abscess formation
#### 8. Conclusion
PerioGlas functions as a bone void filler for non-structural osseous defects. In vivo study data were presented supporting a superior rate of osteconduction and bone formation at early post-implantation periods compared to hydroxyapatite devices. In vitro cell culture data were presented to demonstrate and define the osteostimulative nature of the PerioGlas device. The addition of this claim does not modify the characteristics of the device, which has not been modified for this submission.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
