The single or multi-unit abutment design is intended to be used by the manufacturer of an endosseous dental implant abutment to create the final device. #### Device Description The 3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software receives scan data containing topographical characteristics of real teeth, dental impressions, or stone models. The software provides the user with the ability to create matching endosseous dental implant abutments using computer aided design. The output of the device is a computer file containing the abutment(s) in digital form which can be used by manufacturers that hold an implant abutment 510(k) or are milling per the specific instructions provided by the holder of a 510(k) marketing clearance for a patient specific implant abutment. The 3Shape Abutment Designer Software output is restricted in the U.S. to be manufactured by a holder of an implant abutment 510(k) or milled per the specific instructions provided by the holder of a 510(k) marketing clearance for a patient specific implant abutment. The 3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software can be run on properly configured "off-the-shelf" PC hardware running Microsoft® Windows and using a standard keyboard and mouse. The 3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software requires the loading of implant libraries, which includes information such as implant type, maximum and minimum dimensional parameters for abutments, etc., created by separate abutment manufacturers and cleared by the FDA. In the US, the Implant Libraries are obtained via a 3Shape server after demonstration to 3Shape of the FDA clearance of the Implant Library. ### Summary of the technological characteristics The 3Shape Abutment Designer™ is a software only device programmed in the Delphi programming language and has the following PC/laptop requirements and other technological characteristics as compared to the predicate device: {5}------------------------------------------------ | Item | Submission Device Minimum Requirements | Submission Device Recommended | Predicate Device | |------------------------|----------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| | OS | Windows 7 32-bit Professional* | Windows 7 64-bit Professional | Windows Vista 32- bit | | RAM | 4GB | 8GB (16GB) | 6GB | | Video Card | 512MB DirectX 10 (1GB DirectX 10) | 1GB DirectX 11 (2GB DirectX 11) | 512 MB DirectX 10 NVIDIA Quadro | | Available HDD Space | 250GB | 500GB (1TB) | 500GB | | CPU | Intel Core i5 or equivalent | Intel Core i7 or equivalent | Intel Core i7 | | Monitor resolution | 1440 x 900 pixels | 1920 x 1080 pixels | Unknown | | 3D Mouse | None | 3DConnexion SpaceMouse™ | Unknown | | Network | Internet connection | | Unknown | | Ports | USB 2.0 port for 3Shape desktop scanner | | Serial Port PCI card for inEOS scanner | | Mouse | Mouse with wheel button support | | Unknown | {6}------------------------------------------------ | Indications for Use | The 3Shape Abutment Designer Software is intended as an aid in the restoration of chewing function in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae. The 3Shape Abutment Designer Software is intended for use by a dental practitioner or dental laboratory staff for designing the patient specific component of a two-piece, one-piece or hybrid dental implant abutment. The single or multi-unit abutment design is intended to be used by the manufacturer of an endosseous dental implant abutment to create the final device. | The Sirona Dental CAD/CAM System is intended for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae in support of single or multi-unti cement retained restorations. The system consists of three major parts: TiBase, InCoris mesostructure, and CAD/CAM software. Specifically, the InCoris mesostructure and TiBase components make up a two-piece abutment which is used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants to restore the function and asesthetics in the oral cavity. The InCoris mesostructure may also be used in conjunction with the CAMlog Titanium base CAD/CAM (types K2244.xxxx) (K083496) in the Camlog Implant System. The CAD/CAM software is intended to design and fabricate the InCoris mesostructure. The InCoris mesostructure and TiBase two-piece abutment is compatible with the following implant systems: Nobel Biocare Replace (K020646), Nobel Biocare Branemark (K022562), Friadent Xive (K013867), Biomet 3i Osseotite (K980549), Astra Tech Osseospeed (K091239), Zimmer Tapered Screw-Vent (K061410), and Straumann SynOcta (K061176). | |------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Software Output | Digital encrypted or non-encrypted proprietary or .STL file including only the patient-specific abutment component for one-piece, two-piece, or hybrid abutment designs. The digital output does not include the abutment-to-implant connection interface. | .STL file of the ceramic mesostrucutre sent to Sirona Dental CAD/CAM System milling unit | | Physical - Output | N/A – Submission device relies on separate regulatory clearance and manufacture of the abutment by a separate company | Two-piece Tibase abutment - pre- milled titanium base combined with ceramic mesostructure designed in Sirona CAD/CAM software. | | Milling Location | Abutment Manufacturer or Dental laboratory per the 510(k) clearance of the dental abutment | Local milling of the ceramic abutment component. | The predicate Sirona device includes in the marketing clearance the twopiece TiBase Abutments (titanium bases and ceramic blocks) as a physical output as well as a validated milling unit and directions for assembly of the final dental abutment. The 3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software does not provide any physical parts that can come into contact with the patient. The 3Shape Abutment Designer Software instead provides only the digital design as an accessory to the physical dental abutment systems cleared by other manufacturers. The differences between the Indications for Use {7}------------------------------------------------ Statement of the submission device and the predicate are related to the lack of physical output from the submission device and reliance on previous or subsequent FDA clearance of the physical abutment by a separate manufacturer. However, the difference does not change the intended use of the device. #### Nonclinical Testing Software, hardware, and integration verification and validation testing was performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance Document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" (Issued on May 11, 2005) as well as the FDA Guidance Document "Off-The-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices (Issued on September 9, 1999). Prior to release, verification and validation testing of the 3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software has been completed using the approved acceptance criteria: Each user need has its own validation acceptance criteria; each specification has its own verification acceptance criteria; bug verification consists in ensuring issue is not reproducible; issues reported by beta partners must be reviewed and handled appropriately; beta partners must report functionality to be an improvement over previous version. The validation suite includes validation of implemented mitigations related to device hazards identified in the risk management procedures. #### Conclusion Based on a comparison of intended use, principle of operations, features and technical data, and the verification/validation test results, the 3Shape Abutment Designer™ Software is found to be substantially equivalent with the Predicate Device.
