Literature review of SLActive implants in smokers; Systematic literature review of clinical studies
237 patients (25-65 years old) with 251 SLActive implants; Sample Size: 251 implants
Straumann® dental implants and abutments are intended for oral implantation to provide a support structure for connected prosthetic devices.
Device Story
Straumann® SLActive® dental implants are endosseous implants designed for oral rehabilitation. They serve as a support structure for prosthetic devices (crowns, bridges, dentures). The implants are placed into the upper or lower jaw by a dental clinician. The device is manufactured from titanium or titanium-zirconium alloy with a hydrophilic, sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLActive®) surface. The clinician selects the appropriate implant diameter and length based on patient anatomy and bone quality. The device is used in a clinical setting to restore chewing function and aesthetics. The output is a stable foundation for prosthetic restoration, which directly affects the patient's ability to chew and improves oral health. This submission specifically updates labeling to include clinical outcomes for smokers and clarifies existing indications for use.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical trials were conducted. Evidence consists of a systematic literature review of 5 publications (251 implants in 237 patients) evaluating SLActive implants in smokers vs. non-smokers. Results indicated no significant difference in implant failure rates or adverse event profiles between smokers and non-smokers. Previously cleared bench testing (dynamic fatigue per ISO 14801, insertion torque, and sterility validation per ISO 11137) remains representative.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium-Zirconium alloy or Titanium Grade 4. Surface: SLActive® (hydrophilic, sandblasted, large grit, acid etched). Connections: TorcFit®, CrossFit®, SynOcta®. Dimensions: Diameters 2.9mm–6.5mm; Lengths 4mm–18mm. Design: Tissue level and Bone level (parallel, tapered, fully tapered). Sterilization: Gamma irradiation (SAL 10^-6). MR Conditional per K180540.
Indications for Use
Indicated for functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation of edentulous or partially edentulous patients (adults) via upper or lower jaw implantation. Used for immediate, early, or late implantation following tooth loss/extraction. Supports single-tooth or multiple-tooth restorations with immediate function when primary stability and occlusal loading are achieved. Specific indications exist for 2.9mm implants (incisors), 4mm short implants (atrophic jawbone), and 3.3mm implants (partially dentate jaws).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An endosseous dental implant is a prescription device made of a material such as titanium or titanium alloy that is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore a patient's chewing function.

### Straumann® SLActive® Labeling Changes
510(k) Summary
### Labeling Changes and Performance Testing
The labelling changes that are being presented in this 510(k) were evaluated according to the FDA guidance document "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device". The proposed 510(k) does not intend to introduce new implants neither to modify cleared implants design. The purpose of this premarket notification is to revise the labeling to describe that the results of recent clinical studies on outcomes of SLActive implants in smokers are encouraging (Alsahhaf, 2019, Xiao, 2021, Chen 2017, Sener 2010, Luongo 2016). The proposed claim is supported by a literature review. In addition, changes to the Indications for Use wording were done, as well as general changes to the Instructions for Useto reflect the state-of-the-art of Straumann implant systems data and to improve the readability and clarity of the content without affecting the safety or effectiveness of the devices. Table 2 shows the substantial equivalence discussion for the proposed Indications for Use against the previously approved verbiage.
The presented Indications for Use are equivalent to the primary predicate and reference devices. The differences in the wording do not change the application of the devices. All indications allow for implant placement in the jaw, providing support for single-tooth or multipletooth and allowing for immediate loading when good primary stability is achieved. The prosthetic restorations information in some Indications for Use was relocated to the device description for better understanding. The use of 4 or more implants for fully edentulous patients is common knowledge and was removed from some Indications for Use. The new specific Indications for Use for ø 3.3 mm implants provide more details on the recommended clinical procedure. Additionally, the section Precaution of the Instructions for Use brings attention to the use of narrow implants in the molar region.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
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.
