Attributes
Software as a Medical Device
Intended Use
etkon_visual is a software device intended to import patient-specific data from a scanner for CAD (computer aided design) design of individual dental restorations like crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers and abutments. etkon_visual also facilitates the transfer of 3D data from a dental lab to a remote milling center by internet connection and serves as an order management tool.
Device Story
etkon_visual is a dental CAD software package used in dental labs to design customized dental restorations and abutments. It operates in conjunction with the etkon es 1 scanner, which captures 3D data from extraoral dental plaster models with scan bodies. The software processes this scan data to allow technicians to virtually design the shape and size of restorations. Once designed, the digital dataset is transmitted via internet to a remote milling center for manufacturing from zirconium dioxide or titanium blanks. The software also functions as an order management tool. By enabling precise digital design, the device facilitates the production of patient-specific dental prosthetics, improving workflow efficiency for dental professionals.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation efforts confirmed that the software design parameters for individual abutments are met and that the resulting manufactured dental abutments comply with established design specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based CAD system for dental restoration design. Integrates with etkon es 1 optical scanner. Connectivity via internet for data transfer to remote milling centers. Materials for final manufactured abutments include zirconium dioxide and titanium.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the CAD design of individual dental restorations including crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, and abutments based on patient-specific data imported from a scanner.
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.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-Form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments” will serve as the special control.

Description for the Premarket Notification
etkon™ visual is a software package by Institut Straumann AG which allows for digital design of customized abutments.
etkon™ visual is also the operating software that controls Straumann's scanner etkon™ es 1. The scanner etkon™ es 1 together with the application software etkon™ visual fall under the definition of 21CFR872.3661, Optical Impression Systems for CAD/CAM. Such systems are defined as class II devices which are exempt from 510(k) requirements.
This 510(k) premarket notification submission describes etkon™_visual's dental abutment design functionality.
For designing a dental abutment, the etkon™ es 1 scanner collects data from a dental plaster model with a scan body attached intended to provide for the correct positioning of the abutment. The scanning is done extraorally. The scan data is used by the etkon™_visual software design tools to virtually design the shape and size of the dental abutment. Once the design process is finished, the digital dataset is sent to Straumann by internet connection for CAM manufacturing from milling blanks.
The individual abutments that are finally manufactured at Straumann from zirconium dioxide and titanium blanks meet all properties and specifications of Straumann's already 510(k)-cleared individual abutments ("CARES") as listed above in the "Predicate Devices" paragraph.
Image /page/1/Picture/9 description: The image shows two objects that appear to be some type of mechanical or structural components. The object on the left is mostly black, with some white areas, and has a complex shape with a wider top and a narrower bottom. The object on the right is mostly white, with some black areas, and has a simpler shape with a rounded top and a narrower bottom. Both objects are standing upright.
Verification and validation efforts of etkon™ visual provides evidence that design parameters for the individual abutments are met and that dental abutments meeting design specifications are manufactured by Straumann.
In its functionality, etkon™ visual is substantially equivalent to Nobel Biocare's Procera® Software.
In summary, it can be concluded that safety and effectiveness requirements for etkon™ visual for the design of individual dental restorations including abutments are completely met.
