Intended Use

Cortex CAD/CAM Abutments are dental abutments placed onto a dental implant to provide support for dental prosthetic restorations. The abutments include: 1) Titanium abutment blanks with a pre-machined implant connection where the upper portion may be custom- milled in accordance with a patient- specific design using CAD/CAM techniques; and 2) Titanium bases with a pre-machined implant connection upon which a CAD/CAM designed superstructure may be fitted to complete a two-piece dental abutments include an abutment screw for fixation to the underlying implant. The abutments may be used for single-unit (single-tooth) or multiple-unit (bridges and bars) restorations and are compatible for use with Cortex Dental Implants with internal hex- connection mating platform and conical connection platform diameters. All digitally designed abutments and/or copings for use with Cortex CAD/CAM Abutments are intended to be sent to a Cortex-validated milling center for manufacture. Cortex abutments designed using CAD/CAM techniques must fulfill the Cortex allowable range of design parameters.

Device Story

Cortex CAD/CAM Abutments consist of titanium blanks or bases with pre-machined implant connections; used to support dental prosthetic restorations. Clinicians design custom abutments or superstructures using CAD/CAM software; designs must adhere to Cortex-defined parameters. Designed components are transmitted to a Cortex-validated milling center for fabrication. Final abutments are secured to the patient's dental implant via an abutment screw. Used in dental clinics by licensed professionals to restore tooth function and aesthetics for patients with dental implants.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and design validation.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium. Components: Abutment blanks and bases with pre-machined implant connections. Compatibility: Cortex Dental Implants (internal hex and conical connection platforms). Manufacturing: CAD/CAM custom-milled at validated centers. Energy source: N/A (mechanical).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring single-unit or multiple-unit dental prosthetic restorations supported by Cortex Dental Implants with internal hex or conical connection platforms.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An endosseous dental implant abutment is a premanufactured prosthetic component directly connected to the endosseous dental implant and is intended for use as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.

Special Controls

Dear Raymond Kelly:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
