Device Story
InRoad® Dental Synthetic Bone Graft is a porous, osteoconductive bioceramic bone graft material. It consists of granules (90% hydroxyapatite, 10% β-tricalcium phosphate) designed to mimic trabecular bone structure with interconnected pores. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to fill and reconstruct multi-walled bone defects in the alveolar process. The material acts as a scaffold, allowing bone cell migration and new bone growth into the matrix. It is provided sterile in granule form and is partially resorbable. The device is applied directly to the graft site to support bone regeneration and membrane function in controlled tissue regeneration procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing performed. Evidence consists of bench testing (biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1, sterilization validation per ISO 11137-2, packaging integrity per ASTM F1140/D3078) and an animal study (one-wall periodontal defect model in dogs). Animal study compared InRoad® to the predicate at 4, 8, and 12 weeks using micro-CT, histopathology, and histomorphometry, demonstrating equivalent performance in new bone growth and residual graft material.
Technological Characteristics
Synthetic bioceramic granules (90% HA, 10% β-TCP). Porosity ~60-80% with interconnecting pore structure. Granule sizes: 0.3-1.0 mm and 0.8-1.8 mm. Sterile (gamma irradiation, SAL 10^-6). Non-pyrogenic. Single-patient use. No electrical or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for filling and reconstruction of multi-walled bone defects in the alveolar process, including post-cyst removal, alveolar ridge augmentation, sinus lift, post-extraction ridge preservation, implant bed preparation, infra-bony pockets, bi/trifurcation defects, and corrective osteotomies. For use in human oral/periodontal procedures.

#### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
InRoad® Dental Synthetic Bone Graft (SBG) is a synthetic, semi-dense porous bioceramic for bone regeneration. It is comprised of 90 ± 5% hydroxyapatite (HA) and 10 ± 5% ß-Tricalcium Phosphate (B-TCP). The granules are provided sterile (gamma irradiated) in a capped vial packaged in a sealed tray with lid.
InRoad® Dental SBG granules are designed to resemble trabecular bone structure. The granule structure consists of interconnected primary open pores, a secondary channel-like structure, and tertiary small holes on the surface resulting in a biocompatible, osteoconductive biomaterial. The multi-porous structure of InRoad® Dental SBG makes it possible for the bone cells to migrate into the matrices and for new bone to grow.
InRoad® Dental Synthetic Bone Graft is available in granule form in sizes of 0.3 - 1.0 mm (Small) and 0.8 - 1.8 mm (Large). Reference numbers, descriptions, and volume of granules in the vials are listed below.

{5}------------------------------------------------
#### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Principle of Use: The InRoad® Dental SBG, the subject device, and Osbone® Dental SBG, the predicate device, are similar in technology and principle of use. For both bone grafts, granule size is selected based on the size of the bony defect to be filled. The bone graft is then applied to the prepared graft bed. The porous structure of the bone graft makes it possible for the bone cells to grow into the matrices. This process is referred to as osteoconductive bone formation.
InRoad® Dental SBG and Curasan Osbone® Dental (K102872) are similar in intended use, area of application (human: oral, periodontal), source (synthetic), form (small and large granules), physical morphology (interconnecting pore structures of varying size), resorption (partially resorbable), packaging (capped vial in a sealed tray and lid in an outer carton), and sterility (gamma irradiation, non-pyrogenic, and intended for one-time single patient use).
Physical form: InRoad® Dental SBG varies slightly from the predicate device Curasan Osbone® Dental in that InRoad® comes in granule sizes between 0.3 mm to 1.8 mm where Osbone has a slightly wider granule size range of 0.25 to 2.0 mm.
The porosity of InRoad® Dental SBG (~ 60 - 80%) is similar to that of Osbone® Dental (~ 80 ±5%). The porosity of the Osteon III, the reference device, is >70%. All three devices have interconnecting pore structure morphology and are synthetic bone grafting material.
Composition: The nominal composition of InRoad® Dental SBG is 90 ± 5% HA and 10 ± 5% B-TCP. InRoad® composition is closest to the predicate Osbone® Dental (100% HA), the difference being that InRoad® Dental SBG has a small amount of β-TCP (<15%). GENOSS Osteon III, the reference device, by comparison has a larger amount of β-TCP than the subject device as it is composed of 40% B-TCP and 60% HA. The subject device, the predicate device, and the reference device have similar HA crystalline composition.

# VII.PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Biocompatibility Testing: InRoad® Dental SBG falls under the category of implant device in contact with tissue and/or bone with permanent contact duration (>30 days) (FDA 2016). Based on this categorization, InRoad® Dental Synthetic Bone Graft has been evaluated on a risk basis for biocompatibility endpoints according to ISO 10993-1 and FDA's modified biocompatibility matrix Table A.1 as listed in Attachment A of the FDA guidance, Use of International Standard ISO 10993- 1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process".
The battery of biocompatibility testing for InRoad® Dental SBG included the following.
- Cytotoxicity ●
- . Sensitization
{8}------------------------------------------------
- Irritation .
- Acute systemic toxicity .
- Material mediated pyrogenicity
- Subacute / subchronic toxicity ●
- Genotoxicity mouse lymphoma assay ●
- Genotoxicity bacterial reverse mutation study ●
- Implantation ●
- Chronic toxicity
- Carcinogenicity .
InRoad® Dental SBG has been found to be biocompatible for all biological effects evaluated as an implant that stays in the body for more than 30 days.
Animal Testing: Animal testing was conducted to evaluate the substantial equivalence of small and large InRoad® Dental Synthetic Bone Graft in a one-wall periodontal defect model in dogs in conjunction with a US marketed membrane. Results were compared to defects treated with the US marketed predicate device with the same US marketed membrane, and untreated [sham] defects at intervals of 4, 8, and 12 weeks.
The results were analyzed through animal health observation, radiographic assessment, micro-CT evaluation with statistical analysis, histopathological evaluation and histomorphometry.
These studies procedures, implantations, observations, and assessments allowed for the successful evaluation of substantial equivalence for two test article bone grafting materials while conforming to ISO 10993-6 Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 6: Tests for local effects after implantation.
The results indicate that the two test article bone grafts, small granule InRoad® Dental SBC and large granule InRoad® Dental SBG were biocompatible, and demonstrated equivalent performance for endpoints assessed including morphometric analysis of new bone growth and residual synthetic bone graft in a one-wall periodontal defect model in dogs when compared to sites treated with the US marketed predicate device, Osbone® Dental synthetic bone graft material.
Sterilization and Shelf-life Testing: The VDmax23 gamma sterilization validation method, ISO 11137-2 was used to show InRoad® Dental SBG as packaged results in a sterility assurance level (SAL) 1x106 for all devices. Packaging integrity testing per ASTM F1140 and ASTM D3078 showed that shipping, sterilization, and aging would not compromise the ability of the packaging to maintain sufficient strength and seal characteristics when products are sealed in trays to specification and packaged in shelf cartons and shipping cartons.
Product performance verification was conducted again after sterilization, transportation simulation, and accelerated aging to equivalent to 1-year real time aging confirm that InRoad®
{9}------------------------------------------------
Dental SBG characterization was not significantly changed by these processes. The evaluation showed that the material composition and granule size were not affected by sterilization, transportation simulation, and aging.
The successful transit testing and package integrity testing with accelerated aging equivalent to 1-year real time aging showed that the packaging can last for at least 1 year and can therefore be labeled with a 1-year shelf-life.
InRoad® Dental SBG does not incorporate electrical components or software.
No clinical testing was performed with InRoad® Dental SBG.
## VIII. CONCLUSIONS
InRoad® Dental SBG, the subject device, and Osbone® Dental SBG, the predicate, have been shown to be equivalent in technology, function, and use. They are equivalent in form, structure, and composition. InRoad® Dental SBG and Osbone® Dental SBG performed similarly in an animal study at 12 weeks.
InRoad® Dental SBG has been shown to be biocompatible and through an animal study has been shown to have equivalent performance as the predicate device at 12 weeks. Its packaging has been shown to have sufficient integrity after sterilization, transportation simulation, and accelerated aging to be labeled with a maximum 1-year shelf-life.

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.
