Indications for Use
MUCOGRAFT® Collagen Matrix currently is indicated for: - Simultaneous use of GBR-membrane (MUCOGRAFT) and implants; - Covering of implants placed in immediate extraction sockets; - Covering of implants placed in delayed extraction sockets; - Localized ridge augmentation for later implantation; - Alveolar ridge reconstruction for prosthetic treatment; - Covering of bone defects after root resection, cystectomy, removal of retained teeth; - Guided bone regeneration in dehiscence defects; and - Guided tissue regeneration procedures in periodontal and recession defects.
Device Story
MUCOGRAFT® is a porcine-derived, bilayer collagen type I and III membrane used in dental surgery. The device features a smooth, non-permeable outer layer for barrier protection and cell occlusion, and a porous inner layer to facilitate cell invasion and blood clot stabilization. It is applied by clinicians (dentists/oral surgeons) in clinical settings to dental wound sites, either on top of a wound bed or beneath a surgical flap. The membrane is sutured to host mucosal margins. It acts as a scaffold for tissue regeneration, promoting re-epithelialization and revascularization. The device is intended to benefit patients by providing an alternative to autogenous tissue grafts for soft tissue augmentation and bone regeneration, reducing the need for secondary harvest sites.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence includes two preclinical animal studies (porcine and primate models) demonstrating uneventful healing, complete re-epithelialization, and generation of keratinized tissue. Clinical evidence consists of multiple studies and literature evaluating MUCOGRAFT and the predicate DYNAMATRIX for gingival augmentation and root coverage. Results show successful use on surgically-prepared wound beds or under surgical flaps around teeth and implants, with outcomes comparable to autogenous grafts and the predicate DYNAMATRIX.
Technological Characteristics
Bilayer collagen membrane (Type I and III) derived from porcine skin. Non-crosslinked, chemically untreated. Sterilized via gamma irradiation in double blisters. Features a smooth, cell-occlusive outer layer and a porous inner layer for cell infiltration. Standalone device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dental soft tissue or bone regeneration, including covering of implants in extraction sockets, localized gingival augmentation to increase keratinized tissue or tissue thickness around teeth and implants, alveolar ridge reconstruction, and root coverage for recession defects.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

# DEVICE DESCRIPTION
ડ.
MUCOGRAFT® is a pure collagen membrane obtained by a standardized controlled manufacturing process. The membrane is made of collagen type I and type III without further cross-linking or chemical treatment. The collagen is extracted from veterinary certified pigs and is carefully purified to avoid antigenic reactions. MUCOGRAFT® is sterilized in double blisters by gamma irradiation. MUCOGRAFT® has a bilayer structure with one smooth, non-permeable layer and one porous. The "outer," smooth side has a smooth surface which is cell occlusive and prevents cell adhesion and acts as a barrier. It allows tissue adherence favoring wound healing. This side is turned towards the soft tissue. The smooth texture has appropriate elastic properties to accommodate i suturing to the host mucosal margins and to protect the graft material from oral trauma during biode radation and healing. The "inner" porous layer consists of collagen fibers in a loose, porous arrangement to enable cell invasion. This porous layer is made from pig skin. This side is turned toward the bone defect and/or soft tissue to encourage boneforming cells and tissue growth and to stabilize the blood clot.
### BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.
MUCOGRAFT® collagen matrix is substantially equivalent to Geistlich's existing products MUCOGRAFT® (K012423, K061244 and K073711) and DYNAMATRIX® (K082058 and K010952). The current 510(k) requests clearance of MUCOGRAFT® for a · revised set of indications regarding guided tissue regeneration, as follows:
- covering of implants placed in immediate or delayed extraction sockets; ●
- localized gingival augmentation to increase keratinized tissue (KT) around teeth and implants:
- alveolar ridge reconstruction for prosthetic treatment; .
- recession defects for root coverage . ●
These indications are similar to those accepted for MUCOGRAFT® and also for DYNAMATRIX®, which is cleared for gingival augmentation. MUCOGRAFT®, like DYNAMATRIX®, is a collagen membrane used in dental grafting procedures.
Preclinical and clinical studies support the safety and efficacy of the product for these indications for use.
{2}------------------------------------------------
Two preclinical studies have been conducted in two animal models: these studies provide evidence that Mucograft can be used successfully for dermal grafting (Wehrhan et al. 2010) and oral soft tissue augmentation (Herford and Boyne 2002). Wehrhan et al. chose a porcine model for their study, and Herford and Boyne used a primate model.
10253.
The two preclinical studies provide evidence of the following outcomes with Mucograft:
Uneventful healing (Herford and Boyne 2002, Wehrhan et al. 2010); and
- Normal-appearing tissue: (1) Normal-appearing mucosa, complete re-epithelialization ● and generation of attached mucosa/ keratinized tissue (Herford and Boyne 2002); and (2) Similar revascularization and epithelialization to split thickness autogenous graft (Wehrhan et al. 2010).
Clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate the use of (1) Mucograft, as well as its predicate DynaMatrix, for gingival augmentation to increase keratinized tissue (KT, also referred to as "keratinized gingival" or "KG") and/or tissue thickness and (2) Mucograft for root coverage. These clinical studies provide evidence for the safe and effective use of Mucograft when placed (1) on top of a surgically-prepared wound bed or underneath a surgical flap, and (2) around teeth or dental implants.
The clinical studies (and their respective manuscripts, publications, or other source documents) provide clinical evidence of the device's use for gingival augmentation and root coverage procedures and demonstrates that it can be used safely and effectively on top of a surgicallycreated wound bed, underneath a surgical flap, around teeth, and around dental implants. In addition, the results with MUCOGRAFT® are similar to the published results reported for DynaMatrix.
This body of valid scientific evidence substantiates the proposed, more specific wording changes to the indications for use statement (changes are in bold):
- Localized gingival augmentation to increase keratinized tissue (KT) around teeth or implants:
- Localized gingival augmentation to increase tissue thickness around teeth or . implants; and
- Recession defects for root coverage.

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.
