Intended Use
The Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr are indicated for single tooth replacement and multiple tooth restorations. The prosthetic restoration can be cemented or directly veneered/screw-retained.
Device Story
Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr are customized dental abutments for Straumann implant platforms (RN, WN, NC, RC). Dental laboratory technicians design the abutment using either a scanned conventional wax-up or intraoral scan data processed via Straumann-approved software (e.g., Straumann® CARES® Visual). Design data is transmitted to a central milling center for fabrication. The final CoCr abutment is delivered to the clinician, who may veneer it before screw-retaining or cementing the prosthetic restoration onto the implant. The device is used in a clinical setting by dental professionals to restore function and esthetics for patients requiring tooth replacement.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data (animal or human) was provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing: dynamic fatigue testing per ISO 14801; biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-18; corrosion resistance per ISO 10271; and metal-ceramic compatibility per ISO 9693-1. Sterilization validation was performed to an SAL of 10^-6.
Technological Characteristics
Customized abutment made of cobalt-chromium dental alloy (coron, ISO 22674 type 4) with a Titanium-6 aluminum-7 niobium (Ti-6Al-7Nb) basal screw. One-piece solid form factor. Provided non-sterile; user-sterilized via steam autoclave. Connectivity involves digital design data transfer to a central milling facility. Software-assisted design via Straumann® CARES® Visual.
Indications for Use
Indicated for single or multiple tooth replacement in patients requiring dental implant restorations. No specific age or gender contraindications provided.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Jennifer Jackson:
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 (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. 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.

Performance Data: The material used in the manufacture of Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr is a cobalt-chromium alloy which meets the requirements of ISO 22674 type 4. Bench testing was performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed Straumann® CARES® Abutments CoCr. Dynamic fatigue tests were conducted according to the ISO 14801 "Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants" and FDA guidance document "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff – Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Abutments". The biocompatibility of the subject device is demonstrated by "Biological evaluation of
{6}------------------------------------------------
medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process", ISO 10993-5:2009 "Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity", and ISO 10993-18 "Chemical characterization of materials". Veneering performance testing of the Straumann CoCr alloy (coron) has been performed per ISO 9693-1, Dentistry – Compatibility testing – Part 1: Metal ceramic systems; A final workflow validation according to internal procedures has also been conducted. Corrosion resistance was demonstrated according to ISO 10271:2011 – "Corrosion test methods for metallic materials". Sterilization validation was carried out via the overkill method, 1/2 cycle, to a Sterilization Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 in accordance to the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1 and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-2.
No animal or human clinical studies were conducted.
Conclusions: Based upon our assessment of the design and applicable performance data, the subiect devices have been determined to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
