Intended Use
The Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment is a titanium base placed onto Straumann dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations. Straumann® Variobase™ Abutments are indicated for screw-retained single tooth or cement-retained single tooth and bridge restorations. All digitally designed copings and/or crowns for use with the Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment system are intended to be sent to Straumann for manufacture at a validated milling center.
Device Story
Straumann Variobase Abutments are two-piece, stock titanium-base (Ti-base) abutments for Straumann dental implants. The system consists of a titanium-aluminum-niobium alloy base and a customized coping/crown. Dental laboratory technicians design the coping/crown using CAD software or traditional burnout methods. Manufacturing occurs via validated Straumann milling, traditional laboratory pressing, or casting. The device is used in dental clinics and laboratories. The healthcare provider uses the abutment to support prosthetic restorations; the output is a functional, customized tooth replacement. Benefits include improved prosthetic fit and support for various restoration types.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Dynamic fatigue testing was conducted in accordance with the FDA guidance document 'Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments' to evaluate the performance of the abutment system with various coping/crown materials.
Technological Characteristics
Two-piece abutment system. Base: Titanium-aluminum-niobium alloy (ISO 5832-11). Coping/crown materials: Type 4 metals (ISO 22674), cobalt-chromium, noble metal alloys, IPS e.max Press/CAD ceramics. Manufacturing: Validated milling, traditional pressing, or casting. Connectivity: None (mechanical).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring screw-retained or cement-retained single tooth or bridge restorations supported by Straumann dental implants.

510(k) Summary
## 5.4 Device Description
The Straumann® Variobase™ Abutments are pre-manufactured (stock) abutments, sometimes referred to as "Ti-bases". Straumann® Variobase" Abutments are available to fit Straumann® dental implant platforms NNC (Narrow Neck CrossFit®), RN (Regular Neck), WN (Wide Neck), NC (Narrow CrossFit®), and RC (Regular CrossFit®). A dental laboratory technician would design the corresponding coping and/or crown (the second component of the Variobase two-piece abutment) and/or prosthetic restoration in the dental laboratory via their preferred workflow for pressing, or milling using either a burnout coping or STL model for open CAD software. The coping and/or crown would be manufactured via traditional laboratory methods for pressing or casting, or via validated Straumann milling.
The purpose of this submission is to add coping and/or crown materials to the Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment portfolio for the previously cleared validated Straumann milling workflow and to expand the design/manufacturing workflow to include in-lab pressing and casting techniques and materials.
## 5.5 Intended Use
The Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment is a titanium base placed onto Straumann dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations. Straumann® Variobase" Abutments are indicated for screw-retained single tooth or cement-retained single tooth and bridge restorations.
## 5.6 Indications for Use
The Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment is a titanium base placed onto Straumann dental implants to provide support for customized prosthetic restorations. Straumann® Variobase"" Abutments are indicated for screw-retained single tooth or cement-retained single tooth and bridge restorations. All digitally designed copings and/or crowns for use with the Straumann® Variobase"" Abutment system are intended to be sent to Straumann for manufacture at a validated milling center.

510(k) Summary
## 5.7 Technological Characteristics
Straumann® Variobase™ Abutments are two-piece abutments consisting of a premanufactured (stock) abutment made from a titanium-aluminum-niobium alloy and a coping and/or crown which is designed in the dental laboratory by a dental technician and manufactured via traditional in-lab methods of pressing or via validated Straumann milling.
The Ti-base components of the Straumann® Variobase™ Abutments are identical to the Ti-base components of the Straumann predicates (K120822 and K132219). The CAD and press materials which may be used to manufacture the coping/crown component of the Straumann Variobase Abutments are identical to the identified predicate devices and include:
| Casting: | Type 4 metals (ISO 22674) |
|-----------|------------------------------------------------|
| | Base metal alloy (e.g., cobalt-chromium (CoCr) |
| | Noble metal alloy (e.g., gold alloy) |
| Pressing: | IPS e.max® Press Ceramic (K120053) |
| CAD: | IPS e.max® CAD Ceramic (K132209) |
| | coron® |
#### 5.8 Performance Testing
The material used in the manufacture of Straumann® Variobase™ Abutments is a titanium-aluminum-niobium alloy which meets the requirements of ISO 5832-11. Bench testing was performed with each coping/crown material to evaluate the performance of the proposed Straumann® Variobase™ Abutments. Dynamic fatigue tests were conducted in according 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".
