## DEVICE DESCRIPTION 4.
DenTack has developed a range of expandable dental implants made of titanium (the most common material for dental implants) to serve the need of patients that require partial or complete tooth restoration.
The implant is placed so its end is in the trabecular (spongy) bone like any other implant. Once in place, the apical portion of the implant is expanded to achieve increased contact surface area with the surrounding bone.
The system also includes various accessories that are attached to the implant. The PYRAMIDION has an external hex connection with 0.7mm height and 2.7mm hex with a distinct projection externally to the implant body. The connection between the prosthetic part to the upper platform of the implant interacts with a recessed plain of 15-degrees into the upper platform of the implant body while it is projected from the prosthetic part.
{5}------------------------------------------------
All DenTack's implants are made of biocompatible Titanium. Prostheses and Surgical components are made of same Titanium alloy, stainless-steel and polymers.

## 5. INTENDED USE
DenTack PYRAMIDION Dental Implants and Prostheses are intended for surgical placement in the maxilla and/or in the mandible to provide a means for prosthetic attachment in single tooth restorations and in partially or fully edentulous jaws utilizing conventional, delayed or immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved and with appropriate occlusal loading. Implants in 5-6mm length are indicated for delayed loading only.
## PERFORMANCE DATA 6.
A series of safety and performance tests and evaluations were performed to demonstrate that DenTack's PYRAMIDION Dental Implant System does not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness to support substantial equivalence with the predicate devices. These evaluations include are:
- a) Fatigue Test This test was conducted according to ISO 14801 standard for Dentistry -Implants - Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants and with accordance to FDA Guidance for Root-form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments, dated: May 12, 2004. Worst case configuration was selected to reflect the most challenging situation for the implant and abutment.
- b) Surface analysis The implant surface after surface treatment was tested using the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) which is a valid, conventional and known method.
- c) Implant Removal after Expansion This comparative test was conducted per DenTack protocol, in order to demonstrate that the expandable design does not cause additional damage to the surrounding tissue.
{7}------------------------------------------------
For the purpose of this test artificial bone was used and a reference legally marketed device for comparison. Both implants were "implanted" in the artificial bone and removed per instructions for use.
The evaluation post implant removal showed that both implants performed equally in terms of interaction with the bone.
- d) Evaluation of Minimal Rotation Torque after Placement and Expansion -The test was conducted per DenTack protocol, in order to evaluate the minimal rotation torque after OUAD placement and expansion in the artificial bone. This evaluation was conducted in comparison to predicate device, simulating the product use per their instructions for use. The tests results found to be very similar and thus equivalent. The OUAD met the acceptance criteria and performed at least as good as or better than the predicate device.
## e) Partially expanded Implant Reciprocating Effect Test -
The test was conducted per DenTack protocol, in order to demonstrate that the instructions to counterclockwise and clockwise rotation, when the QUAD only partially expanded, do not cause to an additional damage to the surrounding bone or to the implant. The test was conducted in comparison to a legally marketed device with similar instructions for use (counterclockwise rotation when insufficient insertion occurs). The study demonstrated that both the surrounding bone and the implant were not negatively affected by counterclockwise/clockwise rotation and that the QUAD performed similarly to the reference device.
- f) Biocompatibility Biocompatibility was evaluated with accordance to ISO 10993-1 standard for Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process, considering exhaustive extractions and potential biological (cytotoxic) reaction.
The tests were conducted using final and sterilized products with accordance to above mentioned ISO 10993-1 as well as; ISO 10993-5 for Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity and; ISO 10993-12 for Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 12: Sample preparation and

reference materials. The chemical and biological tests have not revealed any incompatibility potential or any adverse effect.
Endotoxin testing (LAL test method) conducted per USP <85> to show endotoxins are within acceptable criteria (i.e., not more than 20EU/Device or 0.5EU/mL).
- g) Gamma Sterilization Validation Sterilization was conducted with successful results, using Gamma Irradiation according to VDmax method in accordance with ISO 11137-2 for Sterilization of health care products – Radiation - Part 2: Establishing the sterilization dose, and in conjunction with AAMI TIR 33 (recently replaced by ISO/TS 13004).
- h) Steam Sterilization Validation Was performed to validate the instructions for steam sterilization provided by DenTack for prosthetic parts that are provided non-sterile and are to be steam sterilized by the user at the clinic. The validation was conducted with accordance to ISO 17665-1:2006, ANSI AAMI ST79:2010 and ANSI AAMI ST77:2013. The validation results supported SAL 10-6. IFU (instructions for use) are in-line with the validation results.
- i) Cleaning Validation This test was conducted in order to evaluate the cleaning effectiveness before each reuse of reusable tools. The validation was conducted per AAMI TIR 30 standard with successful results.
- j) Shelf life validation Was performed with accordance to ISO 11607-1 for Packaging for Terminally Sterilized Medical Devices – Part 1: Requirements for Materials, Sterile Barrier Systems and Packaging Systems. This validation confirmed that the sterility of DenTack's sterile products will be remained for the device shelf life.
- k) Comparative Pull-out Test The test was performed according to the requirements of ASTM F543 Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws in comparison with legally marketed device.
{9}------------------------------------------------
- I) Comparative Bone to Implant Contact Surface Area Analysis - Contact surface area was analyzed in comparison to legally marketed device at worst case implant variation.
- m) Implant Surface Area Analysis Implant actual surface area before surface treatment was compared to legally marketed device at worst case implant variation.
All results support DenTack's labeling claims in order to establish substantial equivalency with the selected predicate devices.
## 7. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
DenTack Implants are manufactured from biocompatible Titanium 6Al-4V-ELI and Pure Titanium. Implant surface is treated by an established Titanium blasting method. Restorative components are manufactured with common titanium alloy, stainless-steel and polymers.
The proposed DenTack's Dental Implant System has similar indications for use, technological characteristics, mode of operation and, performance specification as the above identified predicate devices. The proposed device utilizes same intended use as the predicate devices and shares same methodology as the predicate devices. Both the proposed and predicate devices function in the same manner providing support for prosthetic devices in the upper or lower jaw.
With the exception of the lengths and connection platform DenTack's previously cleared OUAD (K152188) and PYRAMIDION implants are identical. These differences were bridged by reference devices and performance testing. Therefore, it was concluded that they are substantially equivalent.
The comparison of the similarities and differences between PYRAMIDION implant and predicate devices are hereby presented in the tables as follows:

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.
