Indications for Use
JDentalCare Dental Implant System, family names JDEvolution Plus, JDIcon, JDIcon Plus, is intended to replace missing masticatory functional units (teeth) within the maxilla or mandible. JDentalCare Dental Implant System is comprised of dental implant fixtures and prosthetic devices. It provides a means for prosthetic attachment in single tooth restorations and partially or fully edentulous spans with multiple single teeth utilizing delayed or immediate loading, or as a terminal or intermediary abutment for fixed or removable bridgework or to retain overdentures. Prosthetic devices provide support and retention for screw-retained or cemented restorations in mandible and maxilla. JDental Implant System is intended for immediate function on single tooth and/or multiple tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved, with appropriate occlusal loading, in order to restore chewing function. When a onestage surgical approach is applied, the implant may be immediately loaded when good primary stability is achieved and the functional load is appropriate. Implants 20 mm when placed in the maxilla are only indicated for multiple unit restorations in splinted applications that utilize at least two implants. JDentalCare implant system JDIcon 2.75mm D Dental Implant shall only be used to replace maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral and central incisors for single stage or two stage procedures. It is for immediate implantation in extraction sites or implantation in partially healed or completely healed alveolar ridge situations.

#### 4. Device Description
General
Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth.
Dental implant surgery can offer an alternative to dentures or bridgework and can offer an option when a lack of natural teeth roots don't allow building denture or bridgework tooth replacements. How dental implant surgery is performed depends on the type of implant and the condition of the jawbone. Dental implant surgery may involve several procedures. The major benefit of implants is solid support for your new teeth - a process that requires the bone to heal tightly around the implant.
JDentalCare S.r.l. manufactures Dental Implant Systems made by Endosseous Dental Implants, Abutment and related accessories, in order to support dentist in performing Dental Implant Surgery.
In order to grant Dentists with a wide range of prosthesis solution, the JDentalCare® Dental Implant System are proposed with different trade name within families lines JDEvolution® plus, JDIcon®, JDIcon® plus, characterized mainly by same mechanical and surface treatment solution and different measure of the hexagon in the connection system. All families have the internal hexagon connection.
{6}------------------------------------------------
#### Implants Description
#### JDentalCare® Dental Implant System is a
two-piece implant made of commercially pure titanium. The body of the implant fixture (Endosseous Dental Implant) is surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, while the Abutment (several type for several clinical application) is screwed into the fixture to support the prosthesis.
The connection is done through an internal hexagon: abutment and other accessories are exclusively designed for JDentalCare® Dental Implant System.
Image /page/6/Figure/6 description: The image shows a diagram of a dental implant. The diagram shows the different parts of the implant, including the abutment, gum, endosseous dental implant, and bone. The artificial replacement tooth is placed on top of the abutment.
Endosseous dental implant and abutment will represent the support, for the dentist, for building the artificial replacement tooth.
The artificial replacement tooth component is not part of this submission.

#### 5. Indications for Use
JDentalCare Dental Implant System, family names JDEvolution Plus, JDIcon, JDIcon Plus, is intended to replace missing masticatory functional units (teeth) within the maxilla or mandible.
JDentalCare Dental Implant System is comprised of dental implant fixtures and prosthetic devices. It provides a means for prosthetic attachment in single tooth restorations and partially or fully edentulous spans with multiple single teeth utilizing delayed or immediate loading, or as a terminal or intermediary abutment for fixed or removable bridgework or to retain overdentures. Prosthetic devices provide support and retention for screw-retained or cemented restorations in mandible and maxilla. JDental Implant System is intended for immediate function on single tooth and/or multiple tooth applications when good primary stability is achieved, with appropriate occlusal loading, in order to restore chewing function. When a onestage surgical approach is applied, the implant may be immediately loaded when good primary stability is achieved and the functional load is appropriate.
Implants 20 mm when placed in the maxilla are only indicated for multiple unit restorations in splinted applications that utilize at least two implants.
JDentalCare implant system JDIcon 2.75mm D Dental Implant shall only be used to replace maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular lateral and central incisors for single stage or two stage procedures. It is for immediate implantation in extraction sites or implantation in partially healed or completely healed alveolar ridge situations.
{14}------------------------------------------------
The difference in indications for use statement between subject device and primary predicate device is only related to the specification related to Implants 20 mm length; this difference is acceptable since primary predicate device didn't have implants with length of 20 mm
#### 6. Comparison of the technological characteristics with the predicate device
The JDentalCare Dental Implant System, family names JDEvolution, JDIcon, JDIcon, JDIcon plus, are substantially equivalent to the devices legally marketed in US listed in the tables below. For the endosseous dental implant fixtures and implant abutment the considered "predicate" devices are the following:

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.
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.
