- 2. ATLANTIS® Conus Hybrid Intended as a removable friction-retained denture framework. The hybrid variant provides a surface with retention elements that can be finished with resin-based denture prosthesis.
- 3. ATLANTIS® Conus Base Intended as a removable friction-retained denture framework for finishing with the resin-based denture prosthesis.
- 5. Indications for Use:
ATLANTIS® Conus Structure is indicated for attachment to ATLANTIS® Conus Abutment, Overdenture (OD) via prefabricated SynCone® 5° Taper caps (Degulor®) in the treatment of partially or totally edentulous jaws for the purpose of restoring chewing function.
The ATLANTIS® Conus Structure is intended for conical attachment to a minimum of four (4) ATLANTIS® Conus abutments, Overdenture (OD). The ATLANTIS® Conus Structure is only intended for acrylic or composite veneering.
- Substantial Equivalence 6.
# Technological Characteristics
An overview of the similarities and differences between the proposed and predicate device is given in Table 1: Similarities and Differences between the proposed and the predicate device.
The subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures are manufactured using the same materials (titanium alloy) and are produced using the identical additive manufacturing processes as are the primary predicate ATLANTIS™ Suprastructures (K163398) devices.
The proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structure features the same design variants (Bridge and Hybrid) as the predicate device ATLANTIS™ Suprastructures (K163398). In addition to the Bridge and Hybrid variants, the proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structure also features
{5}------------------------------------------------
the ATLANTIS® Conus Base variant which is a more basic version of the Hybrid as it does not have teeth retention elements on its surface nor the optional extra retention surface profile.
Additionally, the proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structures which are the subject of this premarket notification feature the same options related to surface profile characteristics as do predicate ATLANTIS™ Suprastructures cleared in K163398. The optional cell retention and pin retention surface profiles of both the subject (with the exception of the subject device's "base" variant) and predicate devices are intended to enhance the surface area available for the mechanical retention of prosthetic materials that are applied to the underlying structures.
With respect to fundamental technology, the subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures are identical to the primary predicate, the ATLANTIS™ Suprastructures (K163398), with the exception of the interface between the abutment / implant. The proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structure is a removable structure (friction retained), while the predicate ATLANTIS™ Suprastructures (K163398) is a fixed structure (screw-retained).
While the primary predicate device (K163398) features pre-manufactured, implantspecific interface geometries to facilitate screw-retained connection to implants and abutments, the subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures are intended for attachment to ATLANTIS® Conus abutments, Overdenture (OD) by friction retention via the currently marketed SynCone 5° Taper caps (Degulor®). The SynCone 5° Taper caps, cleared under reference device K131644, are cemented into recesses in the subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures and facilitate the tapered friction-fit connection to the conical shape of the ATLANTIS™ Conus Abutment reference devices. The ATLANTIS™ Conus Abutment reference devices are specifically cleared for use with the SynCone 5° Taper caps for tapered friction-fit retention of removable prostheses in their clearances under K130999, K151039, K160626, and K172225. All technologies incorporated in the subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures have been previously 510(k)-cleared; with the intended use and fundamental technologies cleared in the primary predicate device (K163398) and the tapered friction-fit method cleared in the reference devices, as listed in Section 3 of this 510(k) Summary.
# Indications for Use Comparison
The difference in implant / abutment connection method between the subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures and the primary predicate ATLANTIS™ Suprastructures (K163398) is reflected in the indications for use of the two devices. Because the connection method incorporated in the primary predicate device (K163398) is fixed (i.e., screw retention) and the connection geometries are manufactured to accommodate connection to specific implant and abutment systems, the indications for use of the primary predicate device (K163398) includes an overview of all implant and abutment systems. This is not applicable to the indications for use of the ATLANTIS® Conus Structures due to the fact that all of the ATLANTIS™ Conus Abutment reference devices, to which the subject
{6}------------------------------------------------
ATLANTIS® Conus Structures are friction-retained, feature the same, conical taper geometry which is compatible with the 5° internal taper of the SynCone® caps.
#### 7. Non-Clinical Performance Data
# Performance testing
For the proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structure, non-clinical performance test data are included to support substantial equivalence:
- -Dynamic fatigue tests on worst case test samples of the proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structures, based on ISO 14801 Dentistry - Implants - Dynamic fatigue test for endosseous dental implants
- -Testing in order to verify the bond strength of the SynCone® 5° Taper caps (Degulor®) and the ATLANTIS® Conus Structure when subjected to pull-off loads.
- -Dimensional verification analysis of the conical connection cavities of the proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structures to ensure correct fit with SynCone® 5° Taper caps (Degulor®).
# Sterilization
The recommended sterilization method and validated sterilization parameters for the subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures are identical to the sterilization method and validated parameters recommended for the primary predicate device (K163398). Therefore, no new summary sterilization validation information has been included to support substantial equivalence.
# Biocompatibility
Because the subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures are composed of the identical titanium alloy material and are manufactured utilizing the identical additive manufacturing processes, equipment, and process controls of the primary predicate device (K163398) no new biocompatibility testing has been included to support substantial equivalence.
An analysis was conducted to assess the potential for toxicological effects resulting from the interaction of materials. The results of the analysis concluded that, under worst-case conditions, no corrosion products of toxicological concern are released and thus support the biocompatibility and the substantial equivalence of the subject ATLANTIS® Conus Structures.
#### Clinical Performance Data 8.
No clinical performance data were submitted in support of substantial equivalence.
#### 9. Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence
The proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structure is intended to be used by dental clinicians in the treatment of partially or totally edentulous jaws for the purpose of restoring chewing function. The proposed ATLANTIS® Conus Structure has the same intended use, is composed of the same material, incorporates the same product and manufacturing
{7}------------------------------------------------
technology and has similar indications for use as the predicate device ATLANTIS™ Suprastructures (K163398).
Performance testing has been conducted and is included in this premarket notification to verify that the subject device meets its predetermined performance requirements and the results support a conclusion of substantial equivalence.

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.

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.
