Device Story
DESS Dental Smart Solutions system comprises dental implant abutments and prosthetic components; used in conjunction with various OEM endosseous dental implants. Components include cover screws, healing abutments, temporary abutments, Ti Base abutments, AURUM Base abutments, CoCr Base abutments, pre-milled blank abutments, multi-unit abutments, DESSLoc abutments, and screws. Clinicians design custom abutments via CAD/CAM; fabrication occurs at Terrats Medical validated milling centers. Ti Base and AURUM Base abutments support zirconia superstructures; CoCr Base abutments support zirconia or metal alloy restorations. Devices are used in dental clinics; operated by dentists/prosthodontists. Output is a stable prosthetic foundation for crowns or bridges. Benefits include functional and esthetic rehabilitation of edentulous arches.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data included. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing: reverse engineering dimensional analysis for MIS implant compatibility; mechanical fatigue testing per ISO 14801 for various abutment designs (Pre-Milled Blanks, Ti Bases, Multi-Unit); and MR environment assessment per FDA guidance. Sterilization validated via moist heat (overkill method) and gamma irradiation (VDmax25).
Indicated for patients requiring prosthetic restoration supported by endosseous dental implants in the maxillary or mandibular arch.

Dear Kevin Thomas:
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 (the 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 available 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.

### SUBJECT DEVICE DESIGNS
Cover Screws are provided only for the DESS Active implants (platforms 3.0, NP, RP, and WP), and for the DESS Bone Level implants (platforms NC, RC). The coronal diameter of the Cover Screws ranges from 2.8 mm to 5.1 mm. Cover Screws are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
Healing Abutments are provided for Astra Tech OsseoSpeed TX implants with a 3.0 platform, BioHorizons Internal implants with a 3.0 platform, MIS Seven and MIS M4 implants with SP (3.5) and WP (4.5) platforms, and Nobel Biocare conical connection implants with 3.0 and WP (5.1) platforms. The Healing Abutments are provided in gingival heights from 3 mm to aid in contouring the gingiva during healing. Healing abutments are made of titanium allov (Ti-6Al-4V).
Temporary Abutments are provided for Astra Tech OsseoSpeed TX implants with a 3.0 platform. MIS Seven and MIS M4 implants with SP (3.5) and WP (4.5) platforms, and for Nobel Biocare conical connection implants with 3.0 and WP (5.1) platforms. Temporary Abutments are available for single-unit and multiple-unit restorations, the former with engaging connections to the implants and the latter with non-engaging connections. All Temporary Abutments have a gingival height of 1.5 mm and are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
Ti Base Abutments are provided in engaging and non-engaging designs. The Ti Base Abutments are for custom abutment fabrication of a CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure on which a crown may be placed. They also may be used to support a crown placed directly on the abutment. The two-pieces of the Ti Base abutment which compose the final abutment consists of the pre-manufactured titanium base component composed of titanium alloy and the CAD-CAM patient matched superstructure composed of zirconia. The cement recommended for bonding of superstructures is Multi-Link cement by Ivoclar Vivadent. Ti Base Abutments are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti 6Al 4V) with the Select(Gripe surface. When used for a direct crown, Ti Base Abutments may be used with a POM burn out sleve, an exempt laboratory component not a subject of this submission, that is available for laboratory fabrication of the prosthesis.
The design parameters for the CAD-CAM zirconia superstructure to be used on Ti Base Abutments are the same as cleared in K22288:
Minimum wall thickness - 0.4 mm
Minimum post height for single-unit restoration (length above the abutment collar/gingival height) – 4.2 mm
Minimum gingival height - 0.5 mm
Maximum gingival height - 6.0 mm

* Gingival height in the Ti Base
All patient-specific custom abutment fabrication for Ti Base Abutments and AURUM Base Abutments (described below) is by prescription on the order of the clinician. All zirconia superstructures for use with the subject device Ti Base and AURUM Base abutments will be made at a Terrats Medical validated milling center under FDA quality system regulations, and the material will conform to ISO 13356.
AURUM Base Abutments are provided in engaging and non-engaging designs for Dentium SuperLine implants with a 3.3 platform and for MIS Seven and MIS M4 implants with SP (3.5) and WP (4.5) platforms. The two-pieces of the AURUM Base abutment which compose the final abutment consists of the pre-manufactured titanium base component composed of titanium alloy and the CAD-CAM patient matched superstructure composed of zirconia. The design of the AURUM Base allows for easier instrument access to the abutment screw and allows for placement of the screw channel out of the esthetic region of the restoration. AURUM Base abutments are provided with a prosthetic platform diameter ranging from 4.5 mm, and a gingival height (in the base) of 0.3 mm or 0.9 mm. When used for a single-unit restoration the AURUM Base is to be used with a superstructure to create a minimum post height (length above the abutment collar/gingival height) of 4.0 mm. ARUM Base Abutments are to be used for straight abutments only, no angulation.
AURUM Base Abutments are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti 6Al 4V) and anodized a gold color, and the SelectGrip® surface to aid in bonding retention. The AURUM Base abutments, including the titanium

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
