Intended Use
The SMARTbase Abutment System is designed to be used in support of a dental implant(s) to provide support for prosthetic restorations in a partially or fully edentulous patient. The SMARTbase Abutment System is intended for use in the mandible or maxilla in support of single or multiple unit restorations. The SMARTbase Abutment System integrates multiple components for use in both a traditional and digital dentistry workflow: scan files from Intra-oral Scanners, CAD software, CAM software, ceramic material, milling machine and associated tooling and accessories. The SMARTbase Abutment System consists of two major parts: the titanium base and zirconia top components make up a two-piece abutment.
Device Story
Two-piece dental abutment system comprising titanium base and zirconia top; used to support prosthetic restorations (crowns/bridges) on endosseous dental implants. Operates via mechanical connection (screw/cement) to implant. Digital workflow utilizes intra-oral scan files, CAD/CAM software (3Shape/Exocad), and milling machines to fabricate patient-specific zirconia tops. Used in dental clinics/laboratories by clinicians/technicians. Output is a custom-designed abutment/restoration. Benefits include patient-specific anatomical fit and restoration of chewing function. System includes fixation screws and accessories (scan adapters, analogs).
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including fatigue testing (ISO 14801), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), MRI compatibility (ASTM F2052, F2213, F2119, F2182), steam sterilization validation (ISO 17665-1), and shipping validation (ASTM D4169).
Technological Characteristics
Two-piece abutment system; titanium base (Ti6Al4V ELI, ASTM F136/ISO 5832-3) with gold/pink anodization; zirconia top. Internal hex or conical connections. Dimensions: 3.0-5.7mm platform diameters; 0.25-2.0mm collar heights; 0-30 degree angulation. Supplied non-sterile; steam sterilized by end user. Digital workflow integration via CAD/CAM software libraries. Software is locked to prevent design outside established limitations.
Indications for Use
Indicated for single or multiple unit prosthetic restorations in partially or fully edentulous patients in the mandible or maxilla. Specific indications: SMARTbase for narrow (3.2mmD) Legacy implants: single-tooth replacement of mandibular central/lateral incisors and maxillary lateral incisors. SMARTbase for short (8mm) 3.7mmD Legacy implants: tooth replacement of mandibular and maxillary central and lateral incisors. SMARTbase for narrow diameter (3.2, 3.3mm) InterActive implants: single-tooth replacement of mandibular central/lateral incisors and maxillary lateral incisors, multiple tooth replacements, or denture stabilization.

#### ix. Summary of Substantial Equivalence
The similarities and differences between the Subject Device the SMARTbase Abutment System and the Predicate Device/Reference Devices as described in Table 3-0 are as follows:
- The Intended Use and Principle of Operation of the Subject Device and the Primary . Predicate are the same. Both devices are used for supporting tooth replacements to restore chewing function.
- The Indications for Use of the Subject Device and the Primary Predicate is the . similar except the subject device has a stand-alone compatibility section in the Instructions for Use. Both devices are prosthetic abutments that are directly connected to endosseous dental implants as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.
- · The technological characteristics of the Subject device and the Primary Predicate are same. Both devices are cement or screw retained 2-piece abutments that are composed of titanium base (made from titanium alloy Ti6AI4V ELI according to ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3) with gold and pink anodization and zirconia top components to make up a 2-piece abutment.
- · Both Subject Device and Reference Device#1 can be fabricated from conventional and digital workflows for single or multi-unit restoration with same modification parameters.
- Both Subject Device and Primary Predicate Device (Legacy Engagement . Abutment) have same design specifications: abutment collar height: 0.25mm, 1mm, and 2mm and 300 maximum angulation, and minimum 4mm post height.
- . The approach for non-clinical performance testing and software verification & validation is the same for the Subject Device and the Primary Predicate. Testing was conducted to confirm that the technological differences between the devices do not raise different questions of substantial equivalence. The test results support that the Subject Device met the performance specifications as intended.
{12}------------------------------------------------
There are no major differences however there are minor differences between the subject device and predicate devices including:
- Workflow components and specific limitations are described in Description, . Compatibility, and Warnings sections of the IFU. This does not raise new questions of substantial equivalence.
- The Subject Device has additional device line SMARTbase Cylinder that is . compatible with implant and multi-unit abutments. This has been demonstrated by fatigue testing and thus does not raise new question of substantial equivalence.
- The Subject Device integrates different ceramic and cement materials, additional . abutment design software, scanners, and milling machines to fabricate zirconia top component. This does not raise different questions of substantial equivalence as demonstrated by non-clinical performance testing and software verification & validation testing that the device can perform as intended.
#### Conclusion:
Based on a comparison of intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, principle of operation, features, and performance data, the SMARTbase Abutment system is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the Predicate/Reference Devices as it satisfies all criteria of substantial equivalence and does not raise new concerns regarding substantial equivalence: Indications for Use, Technological Characteristics and Performance Data. The difference does not introduce a fundamentally new scientific technology and the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is substantial equivalent.
