This abutment can be fixed in the laboratory model work containing the implant analog for final construction of the related prosthetic restoration. The Argen IS Abutment is then intended to be fixed in the mouth with the included prosthetic screw. The Argen IS Abutment is supplied with 2 screws (1) A Final Screw for fixing to the endosseuos Implant. (2) A lab screw for Laboratory use during construction of related restoration to avoid any damage to the final prosthetic screw. The final prosthetic screw will be marked "final Screw". The final screw must be torqued on the endosseuos Implant with the specific torque setting provided. The device is finalized at the Argen facility and provided to the dental laboratory in a final patientspecific form.

Substantial Equivalence: {6}------------------------------------------------ The Argen IS Abutments are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices. The intended use, basic design, fundamental operating principles and materials are the predicate devices. Compatibility and substantial equivalency was determined by comparing the design features including diameters, lengths, materials, implant-to-abutment connection platform and intended use of proposed devices to predicate devices. Indications for Use and abutment design parameters are the same or similar to the predicate devices. Any differences between proposed devices and predicate devices do not render the device NSE.

Testing included tolerance analysis to ensure abutment/implant interface compatibility. Functional fit checks of abutment blank to compatible implant, analog and prosthetic screw. Testing showed correct functionality of the device as per its intended use, including dimensional compatibility, and mechanical performance. Fatigue testing was conducted on worst case scenario samples. Worst case scenario was defined as the smallest diameter and shortest length from each platform. One (1) implant size from each of the proposed platforms was tested per ISO 14801. The Argen IS Abutments have the same sterilization process and parameters, and bio-compatibility as previous cleared Sterngold devices. As a result, they are substantial equivalent to its predicates. ## Substantial Equivalence Non-clinical test data was used to support the substantially equivalence claim. The non-clinical testing consisted of tolerance analysis of platforms to ensure implant/abutment compatibility, dimensional verification and implant mating checks. The evaluation was based on FDA guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-Form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments." The summary of technological characteristics, tolerance analysis, and functional testing indicate that the device is substantially equivalent for its intended use and performs as well as the predicate devices. #### Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, technological characteristics and performance testing, the Argen IS Abutments are substantially equivalent in intended use, material, design and performance to its predicate devices. The Argen IS Abutments do not create any new risks or increased risks compared to the predicate devices. The summary of technological characteristics and performance testing indicate that the device is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
