Intended Use
Abutment Design is intended as an aid to the restoration of chewing function in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae. Abutment Design 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 resulting abutment design is intended to be used by the manufacturer of an endosseous dental implant abutment to create the final device.
Device Story
Abutment Design is a software-only CAD tool for dental practitioners and laboratory staff. It accepts 3D scan data (DCM, STL) of teeth, impressions, or stone models. Users design patient-specific abutment components using integrated CAD tools, constrained by manufacturer-provided parameters (e.g., post height, angulation, gingival margin) for 510(k)-cleared abutment systems. The software ensures only cleared systems are used. Output is a digital file (proprietary or STL) sent to a manufacturer to produce the final physical abutment. The device operates on standard Windows PCs. By facilitating precise, patient-specific design, it aids in restoring chewing function for edentulous patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only, including software, hardware, and integration verification and validation performed per FDA software guidance. Cybersecurity analysis conducted per FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only device programmed in C# and Delphi. Operates on Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (64-bit) PCs. Requires 8GB RAM, 1GB DirectX 11 video memory, and 500GB HDD. Supports DCM and STL file formats. Connectivity via Internet/TCP-IP for server-based design parameters. No patient contact.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by dental practitioners or laboratory staff to design patient-specific components for two-piece, one-piece, or hybrid endosseous dental implant abutments in partially or fully edentulous patients.
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.

# Dear Jenny Axel:
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.

|-------------------------|------------------------------------|
| Trade/proprietary Name: | Abutment Design |
| Regulation Number: | 872.3630 |
| Classification: | Class 2 |
| Product Code: | PNP |
| Regulation Name: | Endosseous dental implant abutment |
#### Primary Predicate Device
The primary predicate device is 3Shape Abutment Designer™ (K151455) manufactured by 3Shape A/S.
The Abutment Design software for abutments (K200100), based on the information and supporting documentation provided, has the same intended use, scientific concept, and technical characteristics as the primary predicate device (K151455).
Both software devices are used by dental professionals for the design of endosseous dental implant abutments, and the devices ensure only FDA cleared abutment systems can be used.
Therefore, the Abutment Design software (K200100) and the predicate (K151455) are found to be similar in their intended use, supported anatomic areas and the available relevant features and functionalities.

## Indications for Use
Abutment Design is intended as an aid to the restoration of chewing function in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae. Abutment Design 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 resulting abutment design is intended to be used by the manufacturer of an endosseous dental implant abutment to create the final device.
#### Device Description
The Abutment Design 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 Abutment Design is restricted to be used with 510(k) cleared abutment systems, and the design output from Abutment Design (the patient specific part of the abutment) must be manufactured according to the instruction of the selected abutment system.
The Abutment Design software includes design parameters from the 510(k) cleared abutment systems such as implant type, maximum and minimum dimensions (e.g., abutment post height, gingival height, angulation, gingival margin diameter, etc.). The design parameters, provided by abutment system manufacturers, for an abutment system are available via a 3Shape server when documentation of the 510(k) clearance of said implant system is presented to 3Shape.
Abutment Design has no patient contact being a software only device.
# Scientific Concept
The underlying scientific concept of the Abutment Design software is to apply digital imaging tools for computer aided design, CAD, of abutments.
The system supports the following types of digital data: DCM and STL
