The word "Nobel" is in a larger, bolder font than the word "Biocare", and the letters "TM" are in superscript after the word "Biocare".
This difference does not affect the shared intended use, between the devices as demonstrated by non-clinical testing. The same connection (Trioval Conical Connection), with the same dimensions has been used for Reference Device #1.
- The device dimensions are different in the Subject Device and Primary Predicate Device. However, the maximum and minimum device dimensions are within the range of the Primary Predicate Device and Reference Device. Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants to the FDA Guidance document "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments" was conducted in saline at 37 °C. The tests demonstrated the Subject Devices are substantially equivalent to the Primary Predicate Device and Reference Device #1.
#### Conclusion:
Based on a comparison of intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, principle of operation, features, and performance data, the Esthetic Abutment Nobel Biocare N1™ TCC is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the Primary Predicate Device 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 new device does not introduce a fundamentally new scientific technology and the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is substantial equivalent.
